Simply put for $1000 you can have a camera that 5 or 6 years ago would have cost over $100k

simply amazing

I like the sensor size, and the MFT mount.  Will MFT adapted 2/3" broadcast zoom lenses work with it?  I like the RAW video capability too. Being able to adjust exposure -- plus or minus SIX STOPS in post is killer.  Do you know, does it take stills too?  If so -- at what resolution.

I'm definitely thinking about going for one of these. I need to learn a bit more about lenses I guess. I have been wanting the original BMCC since it was announced. The production delays and it's other drawbacks kept me from taking the plunge. This one with the lower price point is more tempting. At $995 adding the lens(es) mounts, battery solutions and such won't stack up as much as it would have with the original model at $3k. I'm excited to see some footage. I don't have a photo background and need to learn more about lenses. I get a little lost with sensor size and crop values banter. I do like that the Micro Four Thirds lens mount seems to work with more affordable lenses than that fitting the original BMCC.
