While I still think the future of Red is bright. I do think there are going to be a lot of folks who can't handle the Red workflow. Not that there is anything wrong with it, it's just to complex for your average DVRebel. Start talking about RAW, gamma corrected, PDlog..and their eyes start to roll back in their heads. (that is not meant as a slam at anyone.)
The Red is not really their camera...the Scarlet however might be.

Well you're going to hear a lot of it, so you might as well used to it.Originally Posted by BASSAM MSSALATIE

The Ebay auction number for #944 is invalid.

If you would have sold right off the bat Shawn there were people offering 100K for numbers as early as yours.

I'm sorry but why would you start a thread talking shit about other peoples business and credibility? That's Ebay on a whole. Not just people selling Red ones. Not to mention all of them mention the warranty issue. I'm thinking of selling my second Red and sure wouldn't appreciate people undercutting my credibility when I know I'm good for it. If I had the financing for both I wouldn't think twice about it selling it. There will be more on ebay and in the for sale section on this forum so be ready for it.
Oh and I'm not a "video" shooter and I can handle the workflow.

This thread is depressing:(

I'm in the same boat - and I just DID sell my 2nd camera, and I really don't appreciate people presuming I've done something "dodgy." Seems like early adopters are starting to get a little protective of their baby.

Seriously.. What the hell does it matter really?
People can do whatever they want. This isn't life & death.. this is a camera..

so what's the problem? It's still a hot product. I bet if a lot of production companies or just rich filmmakers, wannabe filmakers know about these sale the auction price will go up.

i am one of them average hdv rebels... and it aint slam to me. but the whole red workflow is a challenge. the odd thing about this forum, is that when no0bs like me ask questions.. they don't really always get answered, a couple of your questions are answered then you get ignored. so we are entirely dependent on redone faqs .. info threads.. be it apps.. workflows. like now.. when im running windows and dl footage.. i see the footage fairly light and not so contrasty.. i dont have that 2.2 and 1.8 gamma setting availble. so i dont know what im doing. so i'd rather do it all on the apple side of the world on my machine.
i know pdlogs are like preview standards.. just like using a specific icc profile to use with a certain printer.
i still have many q's and doubts. like for example.. the other i dl a dpx file from red relay with the original bit depth intact... it was 32.1 mb for 7 seconds. it was really one image that ae played for 7 secs. how's that possible? can dpx files have the same file size ratio of redcode raw files? or was that 32mb file just for a single image? and how is converting and editing dpx files feasible on a pc if a 4k second is 323mb's... i understand a final dpx render for a filmout from redcode... but to edit dpx and color correct using an app other than fcp.. then re-make dpx for filmout, i feel is still not feasible? (not a fan of cineform..don't bring it up.) even if i were on a mac i wanted to edit some redcode raw footage to cc secondaries in fcp's color finesse.. will i be able to do that?
we small guys are trying to save hard disk space, even though some, like I, have 2teras ready for red.
many pro's here disagreed with me telling me the whole world does it that way.
but then these are the questions.. no one to date has given me a solid yes or no yet.
