RedSharkWe finally get our hands on the BMPCC 4K and, judging by the response to the review, rather a lot of you would like to too

Sometimes it’s tempting to think that certain products are as mature as they’re going to get. Normally they’re not, however, it’s just that the market has got a bit stale and what is needed is some new thinking. Which is precisely what this story is all about (and, as an update, it looks like the WEEBILL LAB will ship in January).
