99% sure this will never ever happen.
I would love to have BMD expend on their own eco system. The EVF for example is one of the best around for any money, including the ones I've just been using from Panavision and Arri but it's totally crippled by the stupid camera specific ID of the physical design of it. It's impossible to use with an EPL as an extension Virwfinder for example. The cables are such that if you get a failure, then the whole thing becomes useless unless you want to try and repair it yourself.
I wish they would adopt a protocol for external control so any first ac with a Preston, C-motion or WCU could roll the damn camera remotely. Many of those handsets can also change ISO, compression settings and frame rates and ND filters on other cameras too.
I wish they would have a more specific look around in the EVF.
I wish you could have the option to customise what's on the overlay. I never record sound but I'm forced to look at the meaningless VU's recording silence when I want to have a histogram on screen.
I wish the camera had better fastening points that were 3/4" instead of 1/4" ones that are easily ripped out by an over eager grip.
I wish they'd update the micro into a 4K camera. Even the current version is unique and un-paralleled for what it can do for the size. Make a great cube camera but keep it to that size, MFT mount still smaller than damn Komodo / Zcam / Kinefinity et all...
135 / FF is a bit of a waste to me. It's such a "fashion" format at the moment. It forces a whole new lens eco-system, and the customer base of BMD aren't really the ones that will pony up for "real" cinema lenses, so having a 16K Sensor (hey that's what the 12K sensor is when it's in 135 format) seems a bit at odds with a nifty fifty from eBay....
Much better to just go straight to real large format...a camera 65/ 70mm type size...At the moment only Alexa 65 is doing that size...
