  • 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 :)

Coming out of Beta...

I beg to differ. I've always preffered to work with an EVF rather than an LCD. I've only ordered the EVF and not the LCD. I'm purchasing a third party LCD as an option but that's what it is for me, an option, while the EVF is for me a requirement. Only cheapo handycams don't have an EVF, but many pro cameras (all film cameras) only have an EVF. It's a question of preference of course, but I'm sure I'm not the only one in this case.

Cheers,
Damien

I second that.

Earthling... your order will be shipped with an EVF. Do you have a reservation? I'll make sure your EVF ships with your order. I remember Claudio saying it is the best EVF in the industry.

Hi

I will really struggle to use my cameras without a EVF. Will mine ship with the EVF.. ??

thanks

Michael Lindsay

PS Reading Claudio post on the F23/red test really excited me about the viewfinder!
 
you can wait as long as you want Martin.. you just move to the back of the line.

Wow ! Nice to hear. I hope you're not getting ahead of yourself. Of course I have a reservation, the D I typed in where we can indicate our Red One # is my number (in roman numerals). I am #500, the last one in the coming batch of deliveries. It would be nice to get my EVF at the same time as my camera, yet I understand you are backordered and it is normal to deliver earlier numbers first, so, as soon as possible, but don't hold on to my camera until you have an EVF :-) thank you. And yes, I believe it is the best EVF in the industry, for the best camera in the industry.

There is at present only one Red in Switzerland, Daniel Reichbach's (Artbeatstart) #222. We are meeting tomorrow to develop redswiss.ch However there is quite a buzz about red here in Geneva, I believe I have the only reservation here. We keep getting calls of people either wanting to reserve it or DOPs wanting to test it. Red #500 has numerous projects waiting for it.

Cheers,
Damien
 
Well I am not going to ask about mine since I already know it may or may not ship with an EVF.

But I am told if I do not get my EVF with the camera, it would only be a couple weeks behind it.

Still, Jim, I'm in the same boat, and EVF and no LCD for the time being. So do your best.

Nikon and BNCR mounts

Nikon and BNCR mounts

Hello Jim and everyone -

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but here goes -

A bunch of folks have been asking me to make up Nikon and BNCR mounts for the RED. I'm pretty sure that I can do this and offer them up in the price/spirit of the RED camera, like $500 - $750 each.

I just need engineering specs and/or a RED camera to examine. So far no one has jumped at loaning me a camera for a day (I'm in NJ about an hour from NYC) so I thought I'd ask you, Jim, for this. I think someone said that you were asking if a third party would make up these mounts since you were behind on them, or?

I think it is reasonable to consider the term 'out of beta' to mean, at the very least, that something is feature-complete.

We have been promised 1080p recording and reasonable-on-set bootup times.
Until we see those, it's still beta.

And how can builds 14 and 15 be non-beta if no one has even been able to use them yet?

I wouldn't take it as meaning that. Out of beta just implies the version has been acceptably debugged, if there are some feature not enabled that is a separate issue, but I don't feel that implies a beta description.

Red has never made those promises...

i always knew no matter how many times we plastered the "specs change" statement everywhere and yelled it out, someday someone would pretend to not have heard it.

correct me if I'm wrong, but the only party here that can say when beta ends is the manufacture.

btw- what was said is that with the release of FW15, the beta program ends. Since they have not released yet, we are still considered beta. You will be able to use them when they are released, which effectivly ends the beta versions.

Hehe. Well put, Jarred. Sometimes things are best explained with the least amount of words..
