Things most certainly have not shipped on time.

How about the firmware, Elle? Seems like that was announced every month for 6 months before finally surfacing, and what was finally delivered didn't have all of the promised features.

Or the Kish lenses, which were almost as late as the cameras? Those didn't actually ship until around this time last year.

True, the leather lens case and third-party cheese plate introduced since then have all shipped on time. Good job. Significant things (firmware, lenses, cameras) all seem to run on their own schedule.

The OP probably already knows this, but if not, Elle works for DB. While she will loudly disagree, I and many camera owners have been disappointed in the company's ability to deliver in a timely manner. This is a simple fact that can be confirmed on their forum, and it's worth pointing out so that nobody is disappointed.

All of that said, if you like this camera as it exists, you're in good shape. If you like it but things that aren't there are a deal breaker, you might want to consider a different camera.

There is no perfect camera, this one included.

1. Probably. The real issue is when the box will arrive. You'll be told multiple times that it's got a launch date, then that date will pass. It is what it is. They seem incapable of waiting until products are ready before announcing them, and invariably don't deliver on time. If this is the camera for you and you don't get your hopes up based on what's promised but are satisfied by what you already have you'll be okay.
2. Supposedly it is mostly gone. Dealing with it (assuming it's still there) involves shooting around it and some node work in post.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
5. Most people use Resolve for most of the color work with it, since it's light years better than the software the camera comes with.

The sensor has a definite look, and you either like it or you don't. No rolling shutter is great in certain circumstances, and can be a big deal for a lot of people. If those are things that appeal to you and you're willing to work with it's quirks, this is a good camera for you. If not you'll probably find it frustrating.

Can't wait until 2020 when both of these are finally actually really available!

In the video the band is lifted and cut in the proper place. Robert's comments are where the 300Hz was mentioned.

In mixing bands for records, I've generally been taught to keep any band boost or gain under 6dB. There are lots of potential phase issues that can make something start sounding odd. There are plenty of exceptions, but it's worth keeping in mind.

Adding a band at 300Hz isn't going to do you much good. While the human voice generally sits across the range of 100Hz to 3kHz, the defining elements of it are around 1k-2k Hz. Not because that's the dominant frequency of the voice, but because that's the range we hear most clearly at - it's our ears not our mouths that make it so.

300Hz is one of the harder areas for us to hear and resolve. Sonically, that's where the TV in the apartment next door falls - it's muffled, and no matter what you do in that frequency range it's not going to get any clearer unless you make it significantly louder.
