  • 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 :)

Deciding to the pull the trigger

Thanks for all the replies! It has definitely helped me think beyond the specs, which is what I was looking for, especially being new to Red. I think I will hold off on the Raven, but rent a Scarlet in the meantime to get a full picture!

I would do, basically, what you are thinking. In a way, Scarlet MX is the gateway drug. If you get one, you can learn the ecosystem, which I think is hugely important. Renting is a way to dip your toe into the RED universe. For me it was better to buy, because I could run the thing all the time, and every time I turn it on, I learn something new. The other day I was on a three camera shoot for a cooking show. The DP was someone I very much admire and he shot his Epic Dragon. I shot my little Scarlet and we had a 5D MK III. I can't believe how well my camera held up to the big boy. The 5D by comparison looked terrible BTW compared to the REDs. (Maybe we did something wrong? Don't think so...Just the way it is.). The thing that I think makes RED what it is is much more than the camera, it is the REDCODE RAW. And you will get that whether you get a Scarlet, or a Raven.
