CONCLUSION:

Since no-one has guessed the 5+1, the price goes unclaimed...

However (As salut to Jim & all the indies out there) - we will offer the same* price (FREE postproduction in 3K* DCI for an independent short (up to 10 min), including audio and final mastering (value of over $ 15000,- USD)...) to the first fortunate owner of Scarlet who goes out there and shoots his short! Original script with a single still image from each scene proving You have finished the shooting will be required. As soon as someone claims the price - we will announce it here in this thread, elsewhere on this forum and also on our website to prevent You from sending stuff without reason...

Furthermore, as "Thank You" for participating in this thread, we will offer every person who participated 50% discount on our POSTPRODUCTION services for their first indie short (up to 10 min final edit) shoot on Scarlet (or RED ONE / EPIC).

*By the time Scarlet is available, we will be able to handle 3K (and 4K) workflow - for now "just" 2K...

Until then...

Peter



ORIGINAL POST:

Hi everyone!

With less then one week remaining lets have some last minute fun:

Please list 5 MAIN* features with the 6th item being price-tag.
(Please be specific with the features and the price - things like "bellow $ 2000,- won't cut it...)

I, for one, on behalf of my company DERYL Group, offer the winer FREE postproduction in 2K DCI for an independent short (up to 10 min), including audio and final mastering (value of over $ 15000,- USD)...

Jim - will You add something?

Here is my bet:

1) 2K DCI resolution (2048x1080)
2) Variable frame rate
3) Interchangeable lens mount
4) RED RAW
5) NO build-in LCD

6) $ 2000,- USD (even thou I think it will be between $ 5~8 K...)

Let the fun begin...

EDIT:

Please note the format above (5 specific features and 1 fixed price-tag).
Any entries listing more (or less) features, or listing unspecific feature or price-tag will not be considered...

If Your bet is not in the 5+1 format - please edit your post accordingly...
The betting will close 10PM on the 13th (or if by any chance the actual specs and price of Scarlet leaks out, or are "released").
Any post added (or edited) after the deadline will not be considered.
We will take a snapshot of the thread (to prevent editing of post with "correct" data after the deadline...).
If two bets are the same - the one that was posted (or edited) first is the winer...

* "MAIN feature" means defining feature, such as whether it is going to have interchangeable lens mounts (or fixed lens), build-in LCD (or not), 2K (or HD, or 4K, or "whatever"K) resolution, recording format, variable frame rates, time-laps, etc... As KMIKAMI correctly pointed out - things like "power button", "record button", etc... do not count... Thanks KMIKAMI!
 
1. 2K
2. S16

Wah, I want one now! (trying to be the "winer") :)
 
1)2K!
2)S16
3)RAW
4)Comes with lens but you can get a different one.
5) something insane like a li managed to fit a 7 inch monitor on a 5 in. camera? lol
6) I hope 4000$ but I'm guessing 5000$
 
I think at 2,000 jim would be doing it at a loss and as much as I'd like to see the other companies lose their minds I don't want to see red do something that would damage red long term. I think around 5k is more likely
 
Similar to my previous post in another thread:

2K raw

Film motion/video/still frame rates

12 megapixel still raw capture ability

Variable frame rates

Choice of canon or nikon mount - no lens supplied

Without lens cam is pocket size (fits in jacket pocket)

Quality focusable LCD

* mini bnc connector

sdi/usb out only

Compact flash

all metal body

modified REd one lke proprietary focus/exposure ability

$3850.00 without lens

*this is an edit not because I read all these other posts. I just don't know what I was thinking when I put mini bnc. I meant mini xlr. Honest. I will not erase bnc from above in case it is not allowed but I really meant xlr.
 
2K/S16
RAW
CF Recording
Pro DSLR build, shaped as video camera, black
Interchangeable lenses
$3,500.00. No lens
 
Maybe the scarlet will be like the Canon XL series: as in, it'll come with a decent lens, but we attach others if we want.

2K
CF Recording (come on 16GB)
Variable Frame rates
Small body (I don't want to rip my jacket pockets trying to prove Jim right)
Free RED lollipop voucher

$4,500
 
$2500 2k 1-120fps PL mount 64GB flash HD HDMI out. (for monitor) so. this means the body is pocket sized... no LCD. no lenses. no battery. This will not have a Canon or Nikon mount... this will use smaller batteries than the RED ONE. It will use REDcode. oh and PS... this will be able to shoot timelapse... like the way we are familiar a DSLR does..... anyone know what a pclix is? ya.
