Other: BlackMagic Cinema camera!!!! 2.5k for 3k...

Well well well... This is now on my shortlist of possible purchases. Anyone know how good Black-magic's support has been?
 
I'm a little cautious, but just a little. Blackmagic is a great company that makes high-quality products, and the blog post is a ringing endorsement. It seems silly for any shooter to not own this camera. Heck, just the included Davinci Resolve is worth a good portion of the $3k!

Anyway, I'm really hoping this isn't a joke. Not that I think it is, but it seems so good, almost too good, right? Finally, we can all have a great camera at a rock-bottom price point and stop complaining about manufacturers holding technology back.

Now, let's get these things shipped and go tell some stories! :thumbsup:

If this camera works well and is what they say it is, I think (popularity wise) we might have found the new 5D. Call that presumptuous if you want, but this really is a big deal.
 
Hopefully it's as good as it seems....

If so, I wonder if BMD will be able to handle the literally thousands of orders they'll get.

No, I think you're right on. It seems like they've actively designed it specifically as a tool for true cinema democratization. Good on them!

I am totally with you on this, it almost seems too good to be true, if it's a 35mm sensor or something close to it, it will become the holy grail
