Preordered.
...and I never do that.

I would really like to know the panel specs before I pre-order. It is driving me nuts not to know the contrast, brightness and color bit depth.

Me too, but in the meantime I want to get to the front of the line if it's a runaway hit. If the specs suck, or an early review reveals some serious flaws, then I guess I can always cancel. But in the meantime it just checks off too many boxes on the list to be ignored: good size, ProRes, 1080p resolution, LP-E6 powered, SD cards, $495. What's not to like? What are the other options even at nearly twice the price? They all have some downside like SSD or Cfast for the media, 720p screens, or no screen, power, size, COST.

Yes. According to this video...Love this little guy. I have the Shogun and it's screen is AWESOME. Squeeze that rez into a 5" screen and I'm sold! SmallHD 502 just took a HUGE hit. And this records too! Wow.

The screen is definitely not IPS with only 135 % and the omission of talk or narative about peaking make me guess it will be absent which I really don't understand when you can find it on cheap chinesse monitor.

one thing i find very interesting is that he said it will take in 4K and downconvert/record 1080 from it, that would result in super sharp 1080.
furthermore, if it can downscale 4k on the fly... what else might that hardware be capable of doing with 4k...

It's the exact same screen as is on the new URSA Mini, if that helps.

Just ordered as well, if it stinks I will return it. Had to give it a look for $500

Compared to what???
A same sized/featured Ninja for TWICE the price?
It's actually a serious question because if there is anything else out there at all that can come even remotely close FOR THE PRICE then I really want to know about it.
I mean, how could it not be exactly what it looks like? A 5" LED full 1080p screen with Blackmagic's recording brains in it?

I am not comparing it to anything..which is why I am going to give it a look. If it is somehow unusable or just more trouble then its worth (I highly doubt this) then I will send it back. But I expect I will love it, it is exactly what I have been waiting for only thing missing is 4K recording but hey its only $500 bucks.

Yeah, I found that part very intriguing as well.

Oh, right then!
I'm seriously going to have to work my arse off this summer because apparently all kinds of my money is going down to Australia this year!

Same here already started the funds allocation for this and the Mini.
Not having focus peaking etc is a deal breaker for me. If I am using a monitor I need it to have all the things i've accustomed to it having. I love the price and look, but i'm willing to pay extra not to have to compromise my workflow.
Besides, who makes a monitor without peaking these days?!
Also, don't we have something of a reliability concern with this device recording to SD cards as opposed to an ssd option? Makes me nervous...
