comparison with a DLSR please?

[Steve Gibby]

For months now on RED User I've described my RED cameras as being "DSLR on steroids". From the mount backward the technology definitely parallels that of a DSLR. Most DSLR use CMOS sensors and shoot at 1 to 3fps, with some shooting as many as 10-12fps. You can shoot 1 to 75fps on RED One. A description of a RED One camera as a DSLR that shoots 1 to 75fps is pretty close.

I have a 20D and XTi, and thought at one point of buying a MkIII - then it dawned on me that short bursts and adjusted shutter speeds on my RED One cameras essentially relieved me from spending $6.5k on a MkIII body.

In overall technology pedigree, from the mount backward, RED One is closely related to a DSLR (sensor, etc.), relatively related to a TV/video camera (electronic circuits, audio), and bears almost no technology pedigree to a film camera. From the mount forward RED One can resemble a film camera, TV/video camera, or a DSLR depending on what lens configuration you use.

In operation, RED One can be used in an all manual film-style workflow with handheld light meters and measuring tapes, or in a hybrid WYSIWYG TV/video/DSLR workflow using the camera's electronics to aid in focus and exposure.

It's really a flexible camera system - and yes, the still frames from it seriously rock.

BTW - nice frames grabs Jim. They look like they were shot from the Bellagio. I was based in Las Vegas for three years - shot the Bellagio fountain shows many times - very magical.

No doubt he's there for CES. Who knows, if Scarlet goes like gangbusters, RED might have a presence at CES 2009.

I would bet more on that Jim is or was in Las Vegas to prepare a Scarlet launch at NAB.

I attended the CES Last year for the 1st time after many NAB's... It's really amazing anyone in the area should defiantly attend.

My money is on Jim at CES for Scarlet prep talk...and I hope he gets RED footage on that new 4:4:4 Panasonic Plasma just announced today!

Panasonic 4K plasma in our living room or studio.

Amazing

Hey Jim, is that a frame from build 12 or the magic new build that decreases noise? You seem to have learned a thing or two about processing the footage from this camera... :)

These were all from Build 12. No magic yet.

Yikes. I thought it was all magic... What about the pixies?

I would like to achieve on RED this sort of almost 3D image quality like on the photo below



Appolo fights Griffin by the Venetian sculptor Giovanni Stanetti (1716).

Shot on Nikon D50 with LEICA SUMMICRON M 90 mm, ISO 400, shutter speed 1/45 sec, aperture f/11, RAW processed in Adobe Lightroom.

The lens was attached on Nikon D50 using Visoflex-M to Nikon-F adapter.

Image location: Upper Belvedere Garden Vienna, Date & Time: January 8, 2008, 3.20 PM.

Also it is a question when Nikon F mount is going to ship?

Whats the FPN @ iso800 from? Is it because there isnt an analog gain before its recorded? (I understand RAW with the RED) I just notice Verticle FPN @ iso's above 500

Nice pictures by the way though!
