If that still makes you feel restricted, that is why we also offer the Interchangeable lens version of the 2/3rds Scarlet.

thought that might be the case with the fixed, that'll do me just fine. at that price i just dont see how anyone can complain. :beer:

The only reason is to pay extra for larger EVF. Its the only thing that would be almost superfluous (that I wouldn't add to I mean like battery media etc..) - but having said that I am going to get an interchangeable later on as well so I guess its a mute point. Obviously though if you are paying for everything separately it will cost more than the package so you would probably be halfway to buying a larger LCD anyway.

The fixed doesn't ship with an EVF, I presume you mean LCD?

I guess they just figured the smaller LCD would fit in with the majority of people's plans who opted for the fixed. I mean the idea of the fixed is to keep costs as low as possible, so most will want the smaller LCD.

If you want bigger, more expensive accessories, then like both yourself and Jarred have said: opt for the 2/3" brain and add your own bits and peices =]

Is the Mini Prime mount the same as the RED Prime mount? i.e. would the Electronic RED mount work for both lenses?

btw the pricing on the Mini Primes is absolutely fabulous...can't wait to see some samples!

Sorry freudian slip meant to say LCD. Yeah man I realise that...and will do as I said planning on buying both eventually, it was just that the Fixed was offered before as a standalone piece which isn't speciified anymore. The idea of the kit is to provide the BASE minimum to be able to go out there and capture isn't it.
 
Ok, so the price is doable for the fixed. I spend a bit more than that on a camera that did much less. Now the timetable, I cringe when I see the 2 month window. How close will we be to hitting in this mark? I already automatically added 2 more months on to that before I figured I may have one in my hands. Is this an accurate assumption? I know the plan was to produce enough to not have a preorder system, if everybody that is hyped up for one will buy one than I figure you would need to produce a few thousand of the fixed version right off the bat. Is that kind of production factored into the current time table or will that be later after the first ones drop?

Sorry for my same ramblings on the time table. The specs look great as I knew they would be. The greatest camera in the world, aka Scarlet, won't help me if I can't get one in my hands. Hopefully this can be a reality in 2010!
 
Jarred, when can we expect to put an order and will it be available in RED europe so we dont have to worry about the import?
Thank you for your time.

CALLING JARRED! Is there any info on how many you will make/release and whther there is a waitlist?
 
Jarred Land said:
We have our hands full making cameras so we leave the leasing to the professionals.. there are many Leasing companies that have special RED package options and I am sure there will be even more when it comes close to shipping.

Thank you... You have my vote, You know what I see happening Jarred a full merge of video and still allowing you to key out backgrounds without green screens, and I'm sure Red will be able to do that soon.

if your in the middle of an interview or a hockey game or an expensive stunt or..etc. etc. etc. and you don't want to stop recording...
Click to expand...

Of course, but we have managed to deal with that issue quite well for years now. As long as the camera is ready to start recording within a few seconds of changing the battery pretty much anyone can plan ahead enough to find a 10 second break in the action.

I find that the noise, camera shaking and talent distraction factor makes any hot-swap battery system not very useful.

Give us instant boot times and you can spend your time engineering other more useful features!

The Mini Primes use a Mini PL mount... basically a scaled down version of a PL mount. This is different than the RED PRIME mount, which has a much larger image circle to accommodate full frame sensors.

And I cant wait for you guys to see the optics on the mini-primes... Well over 100 line pairs of resolution center to edge, Distortion incredibly low, Chromatic and Spherical Aberration is virtually absent. We spent alot of time on these little guys..

Talking about the Fixed Scarlet as a standalone rather than kit in order to opt for larger LCD...Wrote post above with my hot air though ;()

Oh right! My apologies.
 
Red Ray does look totally bad a$$. Very interested in the GPIO, external control and sync for stereoscopic applications.
