  • 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 :)

3k Scarlet confirmed

Now that everybody knows a bit more about Scarlet everything in life should be OK. Now we can all enjoy this new and wonderful portable digital motion picture camera! Oh… wait… The only thing though is we will have to take a year off from shooting and wait ‘til maybe April of next year to have it in our hands and start shooting all those wonderful features, music videos, commercials that we have in our dreams. Sure, it is your new camera but it will take a little while longer to get it. Jim said that some would be disappointed with Scarlet and I am sure many will be, especially having to wait a year to get one. Why announce a camera if you won’t have it ready for another year? It is Red One all over again. Isn’t technology great!

Assuming your on a preorder list. I could imagine the list is going to get deep when the time approaches.

If stuck with a fixed len, I was hoping for something faster. It's obvious why it's not ;)

I'll wait for Scarlet 2 unless RED pulls some magic out on this one.
 
With air travel getting more expensive and weight restrictions getting heavier on airlines this type of camera will be easy to carry on! I've been paying increased over weight charges (I know the client pays ...) on my gear in the last year, so, anything to get the size and weight down is a good thing. Wonder about the audio question though?
 
this is amazing. I thought it would only be 2K, which I would have been happy with. But what about price? If its below $5000 im in.
 
My fiancee is at NAB, and asked the RED reps straight out, and they said it was in fact going to be 3000.

Personally I would rather pay another thousand and have onboard sound capabilities. Otherwise it will need some sort of timecode out so you can sync the sound with the picture. Hell even if they made it 6000 with onboard sound recording they could take over the market completely if they could make them fast enough!
 
it's great for naturalistic shooting, documentaries, where there is no dialogue to be absolutely recorded live.
And you can always stick a small DAT and a mic or more modern digital audio recorder on it, when you go into the wild by yourself and need to record sounds. When you start recording, you push two "RECORD" buttons instead of just one. That's it. It's not a big problem for me.
I'm happy. This camera seems excellent, it must be incredibly useful.
I'd never trade image quality just for the ability to record audio in the camera anyway.
I am very happy that it is no less then a 3k camera, and the price is very very good, to say the least.
 
I'll take 5 of them and start doing multicam for music performances.
