We have successfully done testing at ISO (ASA) 4000. It is noisy but very useable. You might even be able to squeek out ISO 8000. The Mysterium® sensor is so clean that it is amazing.

Holy shi...4000?? Are you serious?? On a DSLR I can't stand to go above 1600. Wow! You know, you can stop surprising us now, but please don't!

I love it! I can't wait to shoot in my darkroom.
 
it indeed is very usable. And to be clear, thats at an 180 degree shutter.. not 360 and "pushed" like some other companies like to test ASA at.

I... I... don't know what to say! I'm speechless! (as well as pretty darn dumb about what this means. Would welcome a brief refresher from a member of the RED Team to explain why this is something that might make me happy.
 
man.....

hopefully this will save time and money, in regards to lighting. I want to shoot some alligators feeding at night in the bayou. maybe now i can just stalk them with a camera and moonlight alone. :shiftyph34r:
 
Great! Now I can shoot that scene where a guy dressed in
black is running down an unlit alley on a moonless night!
 
We are still talking about shooting at 24fps with 180 shutter, right?

ISO 4000 -- this is awesome. I always wanted to shoot a documentary on the feeding and migration patterns of North American Brown Bats.

j/k... Or am I...? Heh.

I think I'm beginning to understand why this makes me VERY happy!

I am sure you will get all upset for me saying this but ASA and shutter angles are basic camera knowledge. If you don't understand this it is quite clear that the camera is far above the level you are at. This is not a jab or any disrespect towards you as everyone starts somewhere and there was a time when even the biggest directors and DP's were at the same point as you. You all start somewhere and using the tool that is appropriate to your skill level is a key to doing well. Someone that does not understand basics should not be buying one red let alone two. The red camera is much more complex then cheaper simplier options that will actually give you better results then if you were to shoot with a red. A pro HD or film or RED camera will actually produce much worse results in the hands of an inexperienced person then a dvx or hvx.

Now you can come back at me about how I am just "THE MAN" trying to hold you down which is just not the case as I feel like a minnow in a big ocean. Really I am only trying to steer you to success. I am not saying don't buy a red just to wait a few years until your skills are ready to handle the challenges you will face with a red camera.
 
I am dumbfounded. In 30 years of creating images, I have never used anything near ASA 4000. Really want to see some samples.

FINNER! How you been buddy? Haven't heard from you in a long time. Sounds like your still doin' alright. Good to hear from you again. Gotta go... be seeing you.
 
Finner, my years have caused me to gain enough wisdom to have taught me that very rarely will someone thank you for unsolicited advice--whether it is meant to "save" them or not. Probably could have written a brief refresher in fewer words.
