Just received the camera! Battery is charging, but everything looks fine so far. I was a little scared with the lack of info before joining the drop, I saw some complaints, shipping issues etc... Everything worked perfectly for me
I'm really happy as I got it 9 days before I was expecting. Would deal with them again
Here's my timeline : 2017-03-03 - Joined the Drop $419 + $35 (Shipping to Canada) (expecting to be delivered on March 29th) 2017-03-09 - Drop ended 2017-03-10 - Group order submitted. Shipping expected to be on March 29th 2017-03-18 - Bulk order shipped from vendor to Massdrop warehouse 2017-03-20 - Camera shipped to Montreal 2017-03-22 - Camera arrived - Carrier UPS. Duty/Taxes $95 ($72 usd)
I got a little scared when I googled " The receiver must pay the duties or taxes due on the package" after receiving it from UPS. People were saying UPS charges up to 50% of the value for brokerage, but looks it's included on the shipping from Massdrop.
Paid $700cad total. I could've bought one here with kit lens for around $1200cad (tax included) , but I'm already plenty of lenses, so I decided to take the shot.

PaulSantosMine came with PAL settings to Toronto, which means only 24 fps and 25 fps in 4k mode. Did yours arrived with the same stuff?

amur2005Yep... But since I'll film mostly in 24p, I don't mind. There's a way to switch to NTSC, if you need it. Check the video below

PaulSantosThanks for sharing, I am ok with using this "hack", just was curious how come they ship the camera in North America with European settings. It's more about getting the expectations: what if i'm not so techny, and can't change it...
