Canon Announcement

[Jarek Zabczynski]

Jim and co can breathe easy...Canon may have a RED competitor at some point...but not anytime soon...

 

[Irmeli R]

well to be fair if the 1080p is downsampled from 4k it'll be true 1080p. if the scarlet is 3k what do i get debayered? 2.1-2.3K?

 

[Dave Blackham]

And whats this manual only thing about with those lenses. im not advicating shooting anything auto but there s a whole bunch of stuff you can do with good lens control

 

[Iain Philpott]

Laughing to myself. On Engadget right now there is an ad for M&S next to Canon's big announcement - shot on an EPIC!

 

[Jonas Rejman]

Cant wait till 6pm ...
Canon just did it again. Nothing new there.

 

[Tom Lowe]

Someone on twitter cracked me up with this comment: "If only the movie industry had gaming PC's!"

 

[jake blackstone]

Is there an infrared mode on that camera?

 

[Detlev Eller]

Lol, so the movie industry is "not ready for 4K," and yet I am sitting at my house editing a RAW 4K film right now on a gaming PC

No autofocus. At all. Pure manual focus.

What was the quote? 'Knife to a gun fight?' Sounds about right.

 

[Daniel Dols]

My real question: where's the $15,400 in difference to a $600 Canon 550D? Same frame rates, same 'resolution'. Both made by the same company. That does sound a bit silly and very similar, doesn't it?

I think you mean Bazooka to a knife fight.

Oh dear, I feel sorry for Canon... They are going to be embarrassed.

 

[Jeremy Neish]

Yawn... Moving on.

Nah brah, don't worry bout it...


-_-..... It sounds extremely silly.

ohh god why is Marty making a fool of himself. I was pretty disappointed last night when I heard he shot Hugo on an Alexa.

What is it with these old farts who don't get digital.

Why is 4K so scary....wimps

+1 hahaha

it's called RED kid

 

[Jeffrey T. Morgan]

SOOOO dissapointed in this capture format!!! and 1080p is just so depressing.

 

[Dabling Harward]

Now that I've seen the goods...the lenses may be the only thing of interest to me. Ohhh well.

 

[Dave Blackham]

I can put up with the 1080 thing for TV features but I cant put up with 8bits ville. At the very least some a KiPro will be needed for that thing.
