EPIC is alive...

[Imran Farouk]

You guys are blazing quickly through the development now its mad!

[R. Gonzales]

Hey Jarred,

Any chance of answering these questions, or do I have to wait for NAB?

1. Will the Epic / Scarlet be able to sync with an onboard flash unit or strobe flash unit?

2. If this is possible, will there be an accessory hot-shoe?

3. In Stills mode, how fast would one be able to shoot frames.

4. How will these cameras compare to other DSLR's in Stills mode?

i think the stages have already started right? with the M-X upgrade

thats stage one it also says owners will not get everything at once and only for a select few...

maybe just no formal announcement ?

[David Twelves]

Brain only... 5lbs on the nose.

I really can't wait till you guys get to pick it up and shoot 5k at 100fps like we just did.. it's incredible.

YES! You just made my Easter!!

M-X upgrade is separate from the Epic stages. When RED is ready to begin sending out Epic-X, Stage-1 will begin and that will be for the select few who get TATTOO beta cameras. Once the testing phase is done, Stage-2 opens up for those who choose to keep their RED One and purchase Epic-X. Once those customers are taken care of, then Stage-3 opens up for those who wish to trade-in their RED One for Epic-X. After that, it's Stage-4 or whatever it's called, where people can buy Epic-S35.

Anyone see the resemblance?

Haha. Which one is that? Grumpy?

How about this:

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Jon... Curran... Damn you guys. Now I'm going to see a face every time I look at the rear of the brain. Hahahahaaa

[David Battistella]

What I am really excited about is framerates and the difference in image quality from cropped sensors compared to M sensor crops on teh RED ONE.

2K 3K and 4K are going to be very decent quality varispeed shots.

Can anyone comment on the difference between EPIC and RED ONE when it comes to varispeed shots?

Very exciting stuff guys.

To bad I am not going to NAB.

I have to say that when I held EPIC, fired it up and saw the images... I died and went to heaven.

Coming from a Camera lover as yourself.. this means that we will be just about blown away.. ;~)

Try the search function, this has not only been answered, but Jarred uses a flash umbrella for most prototype sneak peak pics. The rest is yet to be determined, its not shipping yet for comparison
