Good News - Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera

Update: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera - Now Shipping!

I've been very interested in the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera from the first moment it was announced at NAB earlier this year. Like everyone else, I was afraid that this little camera, just like the newly announced Blackmagic 4K Cinema Camera, would be on back order for a long time, since customer deliveries of Blackmagic's first camera (the EF mount version) started about 6 months after pre-declared shipping dates due to production issues. That's why many filmmakers have been very anxious to find out wether or not this little Pocket camera would be shipping in time.
