Dragon update...

[Jose Alejandro Acosta]

Fantastic news Jim, our $6K is waiting - remember to keep the Dragon cool, even if it means she's larger :o) Cool means quiet with lees fan noise which keeps our sound guys happy.

Best wishes

Scott

I second that request. I'm excited about the sharpness, sensitivity, and DR of course, but faster blackshading and cooler operation would eliminate the Epic's only shortcomings. Go RED team!!
Cheers,

Sounds amazing. Hope I have the money when it becomes available for the Scarlet.

Dragon sensor + Meizler module = extremely significant :)

Epic -M owners will get priority for the Dragon upgrade.

Love it! Can't wait! Thanks you guys for all the hard work! EPIC has already changed everything, helped build my business, helped getting better images I ever imagined, helped me dream bigger. So now it gets even better? Hell yeah!!! :)

[Vadim Bobkovsky]

Yeah, realistically what can we expect though?

5k at 24fps at 6:1 maybe? With greater dynamic range than the MX... but how much work does a Scarlet need to get to there

I'd be just happy with upgraded Scarlet doing 4K at lower compression, improved native DR and something around 60 fps. I'd love to have some kind of oversampling module that allows to record say 2K Raw without cropping the sensor.

This is fantastic. Scarlet has been blowing my mind every time I've used it since the beginning of the year. But the improved low light performance with a cleaner image is going to be very very welcome. The only other thing (other than those nice high frame rates of course) that I would truly like to see is an improved silent or close to silent fan for the camera...

[Zakaree Sandberg]

I'm actually kinda excited for this one....

I personally don't care about 5k or 6k or 8k or so on...

but I do care about dynamic range, and better low light accommodations, so this excites me:)

I just presented my "RED, CINEMA 4D, NUKE" workflow at Siggraph (Exhibition) on our booth, and bragged that the Dragon might provide 15 stops and has the ability to add more with HDR-X.

Why do you need to prove me wrong the day after (16 stops), hehe. Seriously, all of that sounds great and I look forward to update next year.

I love the concept since I saw it during NAB'06 and it is getting better and better.

Can't we just do away with HDRx after the Dragon upgrade? It seems HDRx would really push the data envelope utilizing a 6k sensor, especially one with lower compression ratios.

Awesome!!!
