Blackmagic Design, maker of the very popular and affordable Blackmagic Cinema Camera, apparently has something up its sleeve for tomorrow morning. That is, if tonight’s tweet from Andy Shipsides (Camera Tech & Training Department Manager at AbelCine) has any credence to it.
Keep your eyes on the Blackmagic website tomorrow morning.

IBC 2012 kicked off today and there is a lot of pro video news coming out of the convention over the past few days. Of course, Blackmagic makes a lot of products that aren’t quite as sexy as the BMCC, but we’ll be keeping an eye on it regardless. Check back Friday morning to see what’s up.
[UPDATE: It’s a Micro Four Thirds mount version of the BMCC.]
My guess is an upgrade to their camera. One that shoots 4K and goes to 60fps.
Here is their press release:

And the rest of the release are out. (a dozen new announcements including a 4/3 mount).
