Hi,

Wanted to send out a quick update on camera shipments. The production lines have been up and running with sensors coming in. We have been sending out regular shipments of EF model cameras each week to all of our offices around the world, and each week we are getting cameras out at a faster rate. We are still not at full volume shipping though, because sensors are not quite getting to us at a pace that I could say was full volume. But each day I am seeing the volume get better from the sensor company. I am happy with the quality of the sensors.

For the MFT model, we want to get through some more of the EF orders before I give a date on when we will start getting the MFT orders out. They are ready to go, but we need to get through most of the early EF pre-orders first.

I have been blown away seeing all the footage coming from people with their cameras around the world. It’s been very exciting to watch the camera doing such fantastic creative work!

Regards,

Grant

Evan, you cannot hope for reliable information on the MFT version.
it may be easier to get an early sample.
the problems with manufacturing the bmcc must must be as heavy as
6 to 8 weeks ago. Grant Petty promised us an update early january
and today is the 23rd.
it was clearly stated that the MFT version will follow after the
EF version is running well.
it could be wise to ship a few MFT samples to hand selected
professionals.
