  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Scarlet S35 is now...

Me too. But the F100 is now, and the scarlett, maybe 6 (best case) or 12 monthes (worse). So I bought a pana. That is the very first time that I buy a camera with in my mind the will to sell it in 1 year, before getting it...

Olivier

You made the right decision Oliver. I also bought a AF100. I will buy an Epic/Scarlet when it ships but until then the waiting, the hype, the changes, delays and promises have just been insane. It reminds of the making of Apocalypse Now. I can't think a single other photographic product that has gone through the post Red One pre-announcement/development/delivery process. Hopefully like Apocalypse we will get a classic, but I ain't gonna starve waiting for it.
 
Ha, I think we've found the name of the next generation of Red cameras after Epic.... "The Apocalypse"!!

It has the perfect promo line too:

"The Apocalypse. Coming soon."

"The Apocalypse. The end of the competition is nigh...."

"The Apocalypse - Jim 5:1

Let him who hath understanding reckon the Number of the Beast, for it is a human number. Its number is five thousand one hundred and twenty by two thousand seven hundred...."

The possibilities are endless! :D

Cheers from Japan,

Paul :)
 
Joseph had a few answers regarding the EPIC-S !

At this point in time, does pricing look closer to $12,000, 16,000, or $20,000 and up?

Much closer to $12K.

Jim

Awesome. That's for the brain only, naturally. I feel like that's stealing...only it's legal.

Closer to March, June, or August '11 or later (provided no major drama)? :biggrinjester:

Depending on EPIC orders...

Feb. to begin EPIC-X production and April to begin EPIC-S production. Scarlet right in there somewhere.

That could change depending on a lot of things.

Jim

I appreciate the answers. Thanks!

Hi-
I just wanted to clarify something... have spent a while searching the forum, but can't find a definitive answer.

My recollection is that Jim has said the Epic-S will have HDR, with a higher price tag than the original Scarlet S35 price. I also seem to recall a comment that all cameras moving forward will include HDR. But the show notes from Red Centre's podcast (normally a very reliable source) point to this thread stating that Epic-S won't have HDRx™.

Three possibilities:
Epic-S won't have HDR
Red Centre is wrong
Epic-S will have HDR, but only the 'magic' mode, not HDRx™.

Can anyone give me the official answer on that?
Thanks!
 
Jim said that all of RED's new camera's will have HDR.

I don't think there has been a clear answer about the distinction of eHDR and HDRx. If I would guess, the Scarlets would have eHDR and the Epics HDRx.

Actually, there has been.

The new EPIC-M has HDRx now and will have eHDR at a later time. HDRx is the "professional solution". See:

http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=52420

HDRx is where the two streams that combine to create a final HDR image are saved, and you can manipulate them in post.

eHDR is where they are already combined into a single stream.

I think it was said there was no reason to use eHDR instead of HDRx unless there were serious footage space constraints, since HDRx takes up twice the space (due to the doubled streams). HDRx clearly gives you a lot more flexibility in post.

Hope that helps.

AFAIK, all cameras (Epic and Scarlet) will have HDRx. Actually, eHDR is harder to do, because the camera need to recombine both streams, so maybe eHDR will be Epic (or Epic-X) only.
 
wasnt there going to be a scarlet announcement recently? did i miss anything?
 
i am for poetic names, not numbers or letters. epic is fine, scarlet is fine, as would be nepukadnezar, venus or 'deus ex machina'.
 
called EPIC Light. The features have changed as has the price. I'll update in the next two weeks.

Jim

I'm curious... did we get that update? I remember lots of discussion, but no verification of new price or features. Perhaps I missed it?
 
I have a suspicion that Jim is planning a Christmas Day scarlet/epic-s announcement.

Give the poor guy, and the rest of Red Team, a break. Its Christmas.

Time for the four F's: Festivities, food, family, and friends.
 
And like Apocalypse Now, it will be a master piece. I think people have to calm down a little. If the camera you want isn't yet available wait for it or buy something else. This is the way RED do stuff and I love the way its done. I'm just amazed about everything that is going on. I bet Jim and the team are the people who wants these cameras out there the most. Its not everyday you have the chance to change how the system works. And they are doing it.
