Hi all, I'm currently in a graduate program at the University of West Florida, and have been asked to research brand perception in a topic of interest.... So... needless to say, I chose camera companies. The following survey asks you to rate your perceptions of a list of camera brands. The...

For our fellow leicaphiles: http://s759420438.online.de/A3/mobile/index.html

Does anyone have any experience shooting the Leica r zooms on the Komodo? There are a few interesting lenses in that family that look really nice for documentary/run and gun work. Haven’t found much info online about using them for cinema use. I imagine they’re not parfocal, but with focus...

Our organization is currently gearing up to compete in two international competitions, the Mobility Unlimited Challenge sponsored by the Toyota Mobility Foundation and the Cybathlon 2020. In the lead up to the competitions we have been releasing updates on our teams progress (which I will add...

Fellow Red'sters... One of the many tasks that rests squarely on my plate is producing our podcast STEM-Talk. We've won a few Adam Curry's Peoples Choice Awards and have now been nominated for two Webby's. One of the awards is voted on by the Academy.. but one of the awards is left up to the...

On May 2nd our team will compete in the Cybathlon 2020 in Zürich Switzerland. We'd like to thank Atlas Lens Co. for sponsoring our team. The beautiful field of view that the Atlas lenses offer us is absolutely amazing, and I cannot wait to share more of our journey captured through those optics.

Ok... 2020 is bonkers. https://fujiaddict.com/2020/01/09/fujifilm-x-t4-x100v-and-x-t200-details/

Given the wave (and rapid progression) of mirrorless cameras, this very well might be the last DSLR we ever see from a major camera company... looks like a cool camera.. nice auto focus performance... 1000 shot buffer... 1000 continuous RAW photographs is absolutely bonkers, and it makes sense...

Since the Komodo thread is 300 pages long, I thought we could aggregate all of the known specs into one simple thread. I don't have time to dig through all 300 pages of the original post, so if anyone has some free time today to gather the data from all of the updates then that'd be awesome...

So... odd question... We're trying to develop a distance tracking algorithm and one of the avenues we're looking into is using zoom focal length data (50mm, 130mm.. etc) as the variable that we use to compute accurate distance measurement. Since Red cameras imbed the focal length into the...

We recently switched from DSMC1 (Two dragons and a scarlet) to DSMC2 (Gemini and TBD)... While on paper we're stepping down in resolution from two 6k dragons and one 4k scarlet to one 5k gemini and TBD... The Gemini's picture is quite stunning. For stills, the tiffs I export out of Resolve are...

This was the last thing we filmed on our DSMC1 cameras (2 dragons and a Scarlet) before recently switching to DSMC2. We wanted no fancy editing, just simple cuts to clearly show that no movie trickery was involved.

It seems eerily quiet on this board as of late, and cinegear kicks off in a day or so... Could there be a big announcement? Red, to me, has entered the realm of industry leaders.. much like Apple did in the mid 2000's.. I was literally 50 feet away from Steve Jobs when he introduced the world...

Recently we were scammed by someone who stole Ken Corben's identity for 13,000.00 for an Epic-w. I've spoken to Ken in person about this, and his identity has clearly been stolen. In regards to the transaction, we paid for the camera in full and were promised that it shipped out. We asked...

It’s been on my mind for awhile, but for various reasons such as long term functionality and RED support we are probably jumping off of the DSMC1 platform and have decided to procure a couple of Gemini’s. 1. I LOVE our epic-m dragon... I love everything about the camera.. it is a rock solid...
