BMD Cinema Camera!
-
I also just found out the the ISO/ASA in the camera are just in three steps: 400, 800(native) and 1600
no steps in between, so its the sensor size and ISO steps
no biggy

iso should be changeable by software eazyly?
I bet BM hears what we say and if possible makes some changes by the time they will start selling.
I have seen this before, so no reason to make hard comments on stuff that can change fast or just by
“bios” updates.If there would be place to enlist with BM products betas i would be happy to apply and help to
iron out stuff and try to generate some new ideas.
I just love their products.—

I’m a bit of a fan too. And you’re right, Grant invented the whole free firmware update thing Red have made their own. The lens mount concerns me more because it’s a hardware redesign. Not out of the question of course, which is why it’s essential we make some noise about it.

Yep, there are adaptors that allow you to go from EF to any number of other (35mm) mounts. Problem is the 44mm flange distance – short for 35mm cameras (hence the proliferation of adaptors) is too big for this camera.
Given the tiny sensor, this camera needs 16mm lenses and the Arri 16mm flange distance is something like 17.5mm if I remember correctly. You can always use an adaptor to move the lens away from the sensor in the case of short flange depth mounts – so you could always mount an EF lens on a camera with a 17.5mm flange depth but you can’t go the other way…
All BMD need to do is change the front standard to a short flange depth mount. That would open it up to all kinds of lens makes via adaptors. I really hope they do because the camera looks really intriguing.

In tech sense it is be pretty easy if you have control over manufacturing.
Just adjust a bit in your cad and let the cnc do the rest.
Its more question of time and money not the tech possibility these days.
I say this as i am involved on real tiny production of something and i see the possibilities
and ways to do stuff.—

even though 20 mm from a decent 10 mm lenses should be sufficent in most cases ( correct me if I`m wrong but BMDcam is 2x crop, isnt?)

Just read Marco Solorio’s article on the camera and it just further confirmed for me the potential of this camera. And I don’t share his uncertainty over moire and aliasing – like Red’s cameras this camera directly maps each sensor pixel to each captured pixel so these issues shouldn’t arise.
Now then Grant, just give us a Micro 4 thirds mount and we’re all good to go.

Second the motion.
The very first thing out of my commercial client’s mouth was “what’s the mount?…. oh… toy lenses.”
PL at least, please.
I’d buy two, for, oh, I dunno, just because its a nice round number…. and a roll of gaff tape….

We’re looking at upgrading our ENG SD cameras (and field camera), and this is what we primarily shoot:
2-man @ desk in front of green screen for sports show
Some local commercial productions
College football (shot from the media booth)Would this camera with this lens work:

Many thanks!
