Other Camera Forum disappears...

[Ryan S]

Bottom line is that Jim does not want us posting about "other cameras" here anymore. He made that crystal clear last night. Since this is his house, we should respect that.

I'm hoping that just means no threads solely devoted to other cameras. When I read your post, I first thought no more side-by-side comparisons, which would really suck.

Michael Bravin was one of the earliest buyers of a Red camera. I believe his original reservation number was 51.

Two girlfriends sounds like trouble, no? I would not expect Michael....

...anyway, who is going to do side-by-side comparison between Alexa and M-X now? This is the question!

[Tom Lowe]

heheh.... no more jokes at Michael Bravin's expense....

Maybe Jim can make an exception just in this one case with Bravin, Arri, Mitch, etc.

time to choose

We are keen to do a side by side test of the new Arri cameras and EPIC (or even a RED ONE with Mysterium-X sensor). We'll find a place to put the results here on reduser.

Maybe we can even get the two companies together for a controlled test? Bravin?

So, no "other cameras" forum data? Not even accessible for reading?

Very well, close it. The information posted might at least be available. There was some valuable stuff posted there. A few of us don't care about brand policies, whatever. For that data's sake, that is all. In the name of filmmaking. Thank you.

Sounds like a great idea.

Nah, Mike will never agree to that...

[Sanjin Jukic]

Sooner or later some independent third parties will do this test for sure.

Btw, right now I heard that prices for Arri new cameras code named Alexa:

A-EV Euro 50.000 / U$ 70.000
A-EV Plus Euro 70.000 / U$ 100.000
A-OV Plus Euro 130.000 / U$ 185.000

Aside from perfromance, we must consider that these cams are like semi-portable (and I use the word semi with great generosity) science projects. Weight and tech issues are serious issues on a set, and there a recently updated Red wins hands down.

Is there a link to Jim's post talking about his reasoning? Did that disappear with the forums/sections that were removed?

I kind of thought that the REDUser conversation about the vDSLR's was better than what you find elsewhere, so I'll miss it.

I completely agree though its RED's backyard, and I'm happy to play by their rules.
