For months B&H has been listing this camera as 'available for pre-order'. Now it says 'Usually ships in 2-4 months'

I'm not sure if this is encouraging or not.

B&H is only now shipping to people that ordered April 8th
I ordered April 11 and still don't know when I might get mine.

If you're just ordering, you'll have to wait until all the back orders are filled which may be sometime next year.

Heres a short film made on the BMPCC where I was 1st AC:

This was a uncalibrated camera therefore the white blobs at the end but I think this camera really rocks.

danielschweinert - The film looks fantastic! Nice job.

Indeed, very cool. Nice treatment and light. These days it's hard to tell where the line is - skill and quality of production? Quality of camera? Obviously it takes both. What are your thoughts?

Great film.
I saw it when Frank posted it on the BMC forum.
Small world that you were the AC on it.

Beautifully shot film. Saw it on the BMC forum too. Great to see what the camera is capable of in the hands of a skilled team.

Ordered a pocket camera today from a small video company who advertised they had 3 in stock on the BMC forum.
Shipped 2 hours later!
I will cancel my pre-order with B&H. Sometimes it just doesn't work dealing with the larger companies.

Can't wait to get it.

@kk5hy be sure to check if yours is calibrated. Only new batches are calibrated.
