Dsmc..

[Roberto B]

Mr. Sony's oldest son is married to Mr. canon's second daughter. Mr canon's brother in law is Mr. Nikon. Mr. Nikon's grand daughter is dating Mr. Sony's Niece. etc. Now you know why Sony and Canon and Nikon etc. independently dream up the same features and develop same technology and pricing, etc at the same time..

You wish for 30-40MP? No problem. Sony already developed a 40MP, APS-C sensor. They will not bring it out until they have sold enough of the current sensors to recoup their R&D expenses.

You want it now? Look at the new Leica S2 DSLR camera ($40K) with 37.5MP. (But this is older technology from Kodak.).

Waiting for Jim's new improved DSMC? : By the time Jim get ready to make a 40MP medium format at affordable prices, it will be already out of date. Look what happened to the much fanfared DSMC and Scarlet : Back to drawing board. (Extra! Extra! DSLR killer was exterminated by mighty MKII, last night in a shoot out at O.K. Corral! )

When new technologies and features are coming to market every week like an avalanche, Mr. Sunglasses Jim cannot figure out which way to turn. Everything he dreams up, turns out in the market before he can open his eyes.

Obituary: I think RED One will be Jim's last legacy. I hope the RED One survives until he could complete a final release.

So, I am a dooms sayer?
Remember: Every doom has been predicted by a dooms sayer.
Knock on wood.. heck there is no wood.. everything is cheap pressed board from china these days..

where do you come from boy?.. you're posting at the wrong place.. you should be posting where you belong.. cinemat.. :poster_oops: any screenwriting forum.. or directly on the screen near you..

nice plot anyway.. sincere thoughts from the gang.. you're such a talented guy.. why are you losing your time over a place with no other legacy beyond the red one by the way?.. :whistling:

Daniel has lost his way... and in his frustration is trying to pick a fight from behind his little mouse. :-)

We are skipping a generation in design and possibilities. Someone just challenged us to compete in the big leagues. We accept.

Jim

Partnership with Pentax? They seem to be the biggest camera company lagging the farthest behind, and I'm sure they have distribution channels that Red would have some difficulty building.

Just a shot in the dark at unraveling cryptic messages.

You mean Daniel aka BobSimon aka GuyB, the low-rent PR hack posting away from the basement at the Sony PR building in NYC... :)

I think Sony would be embarrassed if they knew he worked for them...

As I have a foot in the pro photo world and the other in motion pictures, I can appreciate the sentiments of both camps. Most of the people discussing the Canon 5d II and the Nikon model with video, on this board, are highly critical or skeptical about their video capabilities. For the majority of the photographers considering them it isn't a compelling reason to purchase it. The video capabilities are just a nice bonus.


I was planning on getting a 5D II prior to Canon's announcement of its video ability. Now that I know of it, I'll be pleased to have the video option just in case I need it, but the reason for buying it is the high res full frame sensor with low noise, shallow DoF, and great lens options (or rather because I already own a bunch of L lenses that I'd like to continue using) - for shooting stills.


I was planning/hoping to get a Scarlet. Now that it has potentially merged with the DSMC, I'll be pleased to have the option to shoot stills just in case I need it. Unless it really can do photos as well (or better) than a 5D...then maybe I'd sell my Canon bodies (I just hope I can continue to use my Canon lenses if so...).


RED has proven its merit in having created a revolutionary digital motion picture camera. I hope the engineers are equally successful with this project. Mr. Jannard, do you have any openings at your company?

And there appears to be no motion issues, whatsoever.

It's rather impressive, coming from a DSLR, but it will be interesting to see if the technology makes it into new Canon prosumer video cameras with the same level of low light ability.

Dude...there needs to be a sticky that has the quote from Vincent that said he had an expensive tripod.
I have no idea how expensive...but the only clue I have is that one guy mentioned it would be about the cost, or more, of the camera.

Now isnt that a deal breaker?
You need a tripod the cost of the camera to make the video you saw?

The whole thing from Vincent is a good PR piece, even if it was 'unintentional'.

Most people go away and think he just grabbed a camera with nothing else and made the video. (he had help with the lights as well, though he tries to play it down...help is help, and every bit goes to improving the video footage.)

Again, there needs to be a sticky/caveat with that blog.
"Totally enthusiastic canon user...who was given a secret canon and not expected to write a hyped review..." wink wink.

Im not against the camera...but I do want to see real footage from real people. (The guy down the street who doesnt know anything about film...let him swing it around 360 degrees and see what skew does or does not show up.) lol

The camera, Im sure, has its purposes...but folks...until we have more details on what is fully needed to make the camera work under certain conditions...one may need to temper their excitement as not to get disappointed.

Im waiting to hear what Jim has up his sleeves...Im sure it will actually be that camera everyone is hoping the 5d Mark II will be. (well, actually more hopefully.) ;)

Peace

I heard he also used fairy dust on his lenses that makes the images look pretty :P

Apart the resolution and some other recent remarks related to, the performance on higher sensibility hasn't generally resulted from much other than the sensor size adopted, as well. You won't have the same "space" into a 1/3" size format whether the technology or its (r)evolution will be, that's for sure.
