My Review of the BMCC

Good review, interesting about all the LUT business.

Readers might also be interested to know what focal lengths you used for the shoot the majority of the time, and what challenges you might have experienced with the lack of DOF and descreased FOV, moreso what did you do to over come them? ie. shoot using really wide lens, or where you in very large space where you could back up 20 feet from your subject, etc..

I'm curious to hear those aspects of it (if you were using lenses for the 35mm format) on the BMC.

Having used my 7d and NEX5n in various builds the menues can get a little confusing.. really firmware should have menu flip and image flip

Image flip would be handy for steadicam lomode and various cranes too

Surely firmware is the simplest process in making a camera..

its not like they have not had a bit of time to fiddle.

Great review.

Looks like it shoots great images, But I concur with it being an ergonomic disaster.

Then again, anyone coming from shooting video on a dslr of fs100 is used to that.
 
I think it's worse than dslr simply because it teases you with an Sdi.

At least on dslr you don't have the pretense of using it in a normal studio application.

Widest we had was a 19mm Felt like a 28mm on S35.

Its a pain in the ass. You wind up needed a really sharp 12mm. Tokina 11-16 will do the job.
