BMPCC promotion must be working

[Garrett Low]

Hi Phil. Any idea how long it will be before BM will be sending more cameras? I order my camera a 5 days after the start of the promotion. Do you think they'll really be able to meet their estimated 4 to 6 weeks before shipping?

In 2010 the Panasonic AG-AF100 introduced me to to Micro Four Thirds and all the adapters possible under the sun and now folks are doing that writ large with the BMPCC. Bravo.

9800 orders and 20 cameras. Funny. My reseller is telling me that they will ship my camera by the end of August. They've been doing their fair share of expectation management too (partly my expectations). Lets hope that BM has their manufacturing up to speed and you guys don't have to do too much more 'managing of expectations' before our cameras arrive.

Now if I could just figure out how to manage my wife's expectations of what I'll get done today around the house. One major downside of working out of a home office!!!

Ah the pitfalls of the home office/studio. I find myself managing those expectations too.
