I have all the original packaging and accessories and I'm including an additional 3 Blackmagic brand batteries making 4 in total, I also have the original bill of sale which I will include for warranty purposes. Asking price $995.00 you pay the shipping cost.

Why selling?
The more I use mine the more I love it. Especially raw. I was DP on a doritos commercial (their superbowl contest) yesterday.
I used the pocket camera for some tight shots where we couldn't put a larger camera.
Shot all those scenes in raw. They came out beautiful. I'm now rethinking using raw for everything I shoot with this camera.
I'll get some external recorder and power supply.

It is a great little camera and easy to use, the trouble for me is like being run over by a financial snowball rolling down a mountain side. My computer is windows vista still a good machine had a recent upgrade on the hard drive, it wont run Resolve and I'm having trouble running the Blackmagic utility. My computer is an older model so it wont "see" some newer SD cards so to use this camera I need a new computer and invest in SDXC Extreme cards. I was using SanDisk Ultra SDXC while the camera shot ProRes but since upgrading the firmware on a friends computer t0 1.5 these Ultra cards wont work with ProRes. It makes the Canon 5D MKii and Panasonic X-920 workflow seem so much easier.

I almost posted mine for sale a week after I got it too. I understand and indeed the 5D captures are a lot easier and great quality to process. My computer handles the BMC files but the idea of spending more than a couple minutes on a stock clip is just too painful. I decided to keep it due to it's small size. Quality is great but not sure on stock it's really needed based on 5D MK III or other newer cameras.
Are you selling a lens with it?
