Seeing that camera in person ages ago, I would say that's very, very far from a pocket or handycam. I'm well aware of this particular model and I did say here on REDuser that I strongly felt that 2/3" 3K was a mistake. Fortunately Scarlet-X turned into something a bit better in most regards...

I don't recall "handycam" being on the roadmap. Then again, things like Komodo weren't on the roadmap either. With broadcast adopting S35 and larger sensors most recently, I think 2/3" is largely a format that won't happen. Keep in mind the sensor found in the latest iPhone is nearly a S16...

Actual global shutter = no half frame strobes. Tested that day one.

Highest possible speeds are limited by the media, port connection, reader, thermals, and what you are writing to. I should also mention the boards and system config play a role. If you know how to maximize all of this and mitigate things like thermal issues, you'll get the fastest possible...

Reposted what I just shared across social and FB Groups as this is relevant to anybody using DSMC3 cams. It's been a few heartbeats since I dropped my last round of CFx notes. Two quickies for both RED filmmakers and anybody who uses CFx in their cameras. Firstly, if you have Angelbird/RED...

Thank you for that extremely early look Frederic. Absolutely fascinating seeing the plan through completion.

The only workflow where the REDCODE RAW files may be generated is if they are R3D Trims to shorten the takes. Otherwise, RAW is RAW data and can't be edited in any other way. Metadata via the .RMD can be carried over with lossless adjustments, but the RAW data is intact. I think the mismatch...

Zipped or not, sending .RDM or .RDC mags or clips should be pretty painless. Unsure why a duration mismatch would occur, but they could be sending R3D trims from the original sequence. Could be a project timebase mismatch even. .RMD aren't needed and wouldn't effect the clip duration or...

Blair is an OG. Love that. Awesome dude as well. Since we're strolling back memory lane. You lads are bubbling up some nostalgia and I'm waiting on my barber. I feel like a lot is lost on the modern generation of filmmakers of just where we were in the 2000s when RED teased and launched the...

SNR2 is not Dynamic Range. I can't stress that enough. It's a measurement of the quality and quantity of noise. Even SNR1 doesn't tell the whole story considering the ISO Weighting across the ISO Range. At the floor of 18% Gray, you get about 8 stops above 18% Gray on V-Raptor [X]. In my...

Thank you Shane. Moderately, some of the reasons I released my more expanded test was to illustrate the importance of testing the Full ISO Range. DXO for instance, an actual lab, clearly knows this, as do most who do this professionally. I've been testing the whole range since digital began...

Keep in mind the Trichromatic CFA is still a Bayer Pattern. It's just a bit more optimized. Having used the camera, I do like the color off of it. But they aren't the only ones making custom CFA or sensors. On an absolute side note, I am very curious if Phase One is going to follow up the...

My take, which I've been touching on during live presentation for a few years, is between 21-26 stops puts into the goldilocks zone. And obviously how clean and where all that exists is a factor. And it's not just about having that dynamic range. If done right, you won't need ND unless you...

CineD has published their Dynamic Range and Latitude test, and it's sparking some conversation. https://www.cined.com/red-v-raptor-x-8k-vv-lab-test-dynamic-range-and-exposure-latitude/ So, to emphasize what I have written in my rather thorough test, they are showing the result of clipped data...

Before all of our time here on Earth is where the chaos was born. And strangely the two companies to blame, and I say that lovingly, are Zeiss and Leica in this specific case. The first Zeiss and Leica rangefinders were the source of this discordance across the land. Zeiss Contax going what...

Ah. I guess I should make note if that wasn't clear above. Generally the ideal minimum dynamic range for filmmakers is 13 stops, 15 stops I consider good, anything beyond that could be considered excellent. I'm certain I've posted some thoughts about digital versus motion picture film with...

Lots of topics there. For mirrorless bodies you have motion versus still performance, which is also impacted by the codecs and DSP. A broad generalization is most modern mirrorless cameras land slightly below 15 stops TCDR in still mode. Less or equal to that in video modes. I'd say a good...

Cheers all. Yes, this one took a bit of head scratching to keep it from being a huge pile of spreadsheets. All of my tests turned out a bit over a 125 pages, so this is just the Dynamic Range, Latitude, and Image Noise related things that I do think is the most useful for image makers. To...

Hello all, Here's the results of those first precious yet tedious weeks of testing the new camera. After about 25+ years of professionally testing cameras, I'm going into more depth than I ever have publicly because there's been a lot more interest in all of it. And it's time to expand on a...

Nope. Different company.
