Top Ryde shopping centre Camera House have the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K for $1799.
They had a few in the window and they said they had more available.
The Camera House website has it for $2,559 and Videopro have it for $2,220.
A great video camera and picked one up.

Because not all 4K are created equally? Can mobile film log/raw/10bit and etc?
The BMPCC4K is probably the best prosumer cinema camera ever created. Its colour science is gorgeous, it's ergonomics are better than any DSLR and it's M4/3 mount makes it adaptable to a wide variety of lenses, including native anamorphic now.
Comparing it to a camera phone is like comparing a nice house to a cardboard box under a broken bridge surrounded by a sea of used syringes and free-range copies of Dianetics.
That final paragraph was poetry. Take an upvote

The most accurate comment i've seen all year :D
With that red hot chili peppers classic blasting on a cracked megaphone in a perpetual loop for all eternity?
Camera is just a tool. Professional videographer would shoot better video on a Samsung phone than amateur using Red Digital Cinema 8K.
Eh, a good editor will make phone footage look OK.
No.
Thought ur a wizard? Cmon mate.
Fantastic camera!
Agreed! Best prosumer cinema camera ever made.
Absolutely amazing video camera. I would love a flip out screen and even Auto focus would have been useful. But still, nothing comparable.
Don't forget, you get the full Da Vinci software with the camera.
You can get after market modifications for tilt screens now.
do they take phone orders?
I'm not sure, but worth trying…
Just what I need for my Zoom meetings!
Then you will need a few in different positions and a ATEM mini pro.
Plus the blackmagic editing/colour grading software is free and first class. Good to support them just for that!
mmm, I want, lately thinking of gh5 vs bmpcc. Can't beat my Sony on auto focus but I could go for some 60fps 4K :D
BMPCC4K destroys the GH5. Blackmagic Raw and the dynamic range you get, coupled with a great colour science, runs laps around a GH5 IMO.
The amount of detail I've pulled back from blown out skies with BRAW is staggering. We took some footage to our colour gradist on a production back in January and she was floored. We've been using the BMPCC4K as a B cam against ARRIs - if you lens it right, they're a great match.
which lens would you recommend to go with this body?
METABONES + Sigma 1835 f1.8 which means another $2000
I ended up going for the Panasonic Lumix 12-60mm 2.8-4. Watching a video on YouTube - it seems to be quite parfocal so good for zooming while retaining the focus point…
Ended up getting one from eBay with 10% off for $900. I haven't received it yet so can't say whether it was a good choice :).
I thought about the metabones and Sigma 18-35 mentioned above (which I've owned previously and really liked) - but trying to stay native lenses for now.
Any good for still photography?
can not
just press pause.
Yep, wouldn't suggest it for still photography.. If you wanted something that was geared towards both photography and video - I'd suggest GH5, which is closest to this video-wise at this price point (though it has been out a while).
Lusted after this camera after doing some research for a video camera late last year. This is an unbelievably good price for an awesome video camera. Thanks OP
Called this morning and was told that they've sold out
Just called, it's sold out and any pre-order options are at the $1,999 price point.
