Dec. 3rd responses here...

Specs look amazing. You guys don't disappoint.

I like to see upgrades with no price change on a camera that I was already sold on!

Don't know if its been answered already but...Quadhd? What is it?

A 4k-ish format.

4k is 4096 pixels across.

QuadHD is 3840 pixels across - twice the width and four times the area of HD. This gives you a perfect 2:1 downrez to 1080p, which is faster and looks better than 4096 downrezzed to 1080p.

DOF has everything to do with the size of the aperture in the lens.

Thank god somebody answered this sensibly. I thought my head was going to explode reading about how brightness and reflected light determines DOF.

they won't listen you.

Some folks get really up tight about comparing RED to SONY or RED to Canon or Panasonic etc.. To me and many others RED is an a class of its own , and is defining its own class and technical art of film making. If you dig it you dig it. If you don’t you won’t. If you need a RED 1 then buy a RED !, if you need a SONY, buy a SONY; no big deal. Thanks to RED the world will never be the same, but at the same time, SONY, and CANON, will just carry on doing their own thing without concern. No biggie!

Technically, its not Dec. 3rd in many areas so I hope there are more announcements in the coming hours

Your not thinking 4th Dimensional Marty. Remember across the world like Australia. :biggrin: It would be cool for more news of course.

I'm having a vision... June 2011, Red introduces Behemotho sensor with 50k resolution and 15 stops of DR, full trade-in value for Red One and Epic... forum members still complain.

The epic x upgrade is awesome for the R1 resale value. if you want to trade your R1 in for a scarlet ff35 or an epic ff35 or whatever, then buy the epic x, sell it, (which with all the modules included will probably make you money) and then use that money to buy what you want later. It is incredibly generous of Jim and he is for sure taking care of us who bought into the vision.

how cool is that? dag yo. Not to mention, the monstro!!! that it's available at any price is a miracle. The day that drops I'm in for one.

 

[Buck Forester]

I like it. Ah lawk it alawt. Well done. It seems more 'real' now.

I think its time to start moving ahead on all this.. There's a lot of work ahead. Obviously the support of everyone will help this. It's a great deal, unprecedented.

The red one still blows my mind... It is ahead of anything else in the price range by a long shot...

The system is great... needs some tweaks here and there but you'd have to agree it has surpassed all expectations of what was originally offered.

That a company can offer such deals in this financial climate makes it even more intriguing.

Not once has Jim let the reduser group down.

People like him are rare and i'd suggest a lot of skepticism is because people themselves don't think this way, like John Lennon said "Instant Karma is going to get you"

I can understand some newbies being skeptical, I myself remember complaining to Jim on the old reduser how he could ask for a deposit on the then unfinished redone. His response was I didn't have to put my deposit down. I would have been under serial # 100. Biggest mistake of my life. But i find it mysterious why some of the older members are so skeptical???

A man should be judged by his actions and if this is the case then no one should be worried about these announcements. In this case Jim Jannard so far has a fairly faultless record at least concerned to the average mortal person, i mean no one's perfect as much as we try to be. Much of what he has implemented has been off his own cuff.

This is not a case of fanboyism which i can only define as adding nothing other than exciting shrills... This to me is just a case of simple mutual respect. A billionaire deserves the same respect as anyone else; as long as that respect is mutual and in this case there's no reason to suspect otherwise.

The way we communicate what we want should be maintained at some level of decency... I mean if you want something, you normally say "please", dont you? You dont demand, You don't winge (unless you are a child) and you don't manipulate. Of course you do those things where mutual respect is not available and have no other option but its pretty obvious in this case that there is no need for that here...

If we as a group encourage and support this business model then other businesses will follow suit. In the interests of better business in this world do your bit and encourage Jim further...

We the customers are just important in this process as the company and that red has openly recognized it in voice and action shows that we are also in control of it's destiny. Lets not abuse that freedom, lest we get the opposite to that which is nothing....

I like it when a company listens... I like it knowing that the ceo is reading my suggestions and considering them.. I like that a good suggestion can change the road map along the way. At the end of the day its his business what he does, its a free market, thats economic democracy. I vote with my money... If somethings fair or beyond fair as in this case, you don't complain. not for want of more, just in awe of what has taken place...

Anyway you are all privileged as far as i am concerned... let's get this show on the road...

Lets get this show on the road... and go into production

word.

I'm sorry to be a johnny-come-lately fan-boy, but the fact that our fearless leader is seriously planning the Epic 617 is freaking awesome!

We're still having a hard time getting people to grasp 4k...

 

[Casey Green]

Good lord. . . there is no RED ATV. Surely that render was just for fun. That thing would take "shaky-cam" to a whole new level!

Stephen

What are you saying??? Of course there is a RED ATV. It usually comes accompanied by the RED Chopper when in combat.

 

[Deanan]

Having done the math on the camera's resolutions, it would appear that the 24.89mm x 13.9mm aperture on the 645 is roughly 3.7K.

Redo the math. You know 3.7K is not right

width divided by 6 microns is ?

as funny as this is.. the sad thing is that it probably would be very true...

 

[Tom Lowe]

I think any R1 owner who bitches and moans after this and keeps asking for more "upgrade paths" should be banned and thrown off this freekin board.

IMO, Jim should not have offered this Epic X. He has bent over backwards already with the 17.5K credit, which is more than anyone could have asked for, and yet a tiny minority of crybabies and mooches have just kept asking for more and more, and acting like ingrates. Ban those f#ckers. They are dragging down the whole community here, and hampering Jim's efforts to offer new technology.

There actually really is a RED ATV.. its in the front lobby of our HQ

 

[Pierce Cook]

Photo or it's not real!

And by that I mean... awesome.

 

[josemnorton]

I'm sad to say I'm disappointed. Not with the announcement, but the way it was all dealt with.

Intelligent questions were ignored and somehow silly comments deserved attention instead of silence.

Things are getting way too personal here.

At the end of the day we're all clients or possible future clients.

We reserve the right to refuse service from anyone with a bad attitude.

 

[10s]

Where can I learn about the capabilities of the different versions of REDCODE?

 

[Jon Sagud]

Time to fire it up!

 

[Casey Green]
