A year ago a lot of us we're super-psyched and desperately doing all sorts of preparations to order a new Red kamera. For many of us, the first proper camera we have owned, and for others the first real cinema camera they could afford to rent (and also know how to use. don't underestimate that).
I've had a little more than 6 months to get to know the camera. There's been som issues, none really big.
Apart from a really bumpy start with slow delivery and endless waiting, it's been a great ride. I hope Red has found a way to make future releases smoother. Other than that, updates have been coming steady up until the point where we now have a very stable camera. (at least from what I've been hearing). Broadcasting is bound to stay within the HD resolution for the coming 10 years at least (maybe with a few exceptions), which means that this camera we bought last winter, can't get completely outdated within that timeframe. That's just amazing. What camera was the king 10 years ago, remind me..?
A week ago, I did a quick updated color correction on something shot on Red1 MX last summer. It looks even better know. And it will look exactly the same even when projected in a cinema on the other side of the globe. I doubt many people can do the same with a 16/35/65mm negative withouth spending a single dollar. I bought some rolls of 16mm fuji three years ago with great plans in mind. They are still unused.
What I find to be the very best part of my experience with the Scarlet is that it keeps giving me more and more impressive results as I learn what it likes and not. It really is a fantastic camera system that has so much to give once you know how to get it right. Can the Canon and Sony cameras offer this within the same price range? Not even close.
I occasionally let my complaints be heard when I don't think Red is delivering. Well, this one is to give some praise when stuff is working like it really should (but unfortunately rarely does)!
How is your experience with the Scarlet so far?
