Sorry... dictatorship is winning big here.

We will listen very carefully, but this is not a "vote for options" program.

If you want that, start your own company.

No Problems here. This is a great indie camera!
 
I think you have a right to be cranky.

**EDIT**
Hell, I'm not even a self-made billionaire business tycoon and I find it very annoying when bottom dwelling video production wannabe's (of which I am one) sit around and moan about a camera that without your company had no chance of existing at all for at least another 5 years much less at this price point.
If I were you, I'd tell us all to go f@#$ ourselves shut down the whole damn operation and go do something much less stressful like shoot wildlife for a living, on a Panasonic 3700... that only does 1080... at 30p... a whole 2 years after you told them where the industry was heading... don't think they got the memo.

I'm just glad you seem committed to not leaving me out. The price is more than I could have hoped for and I don't want it changing.
 
I hate it when people give me an unprecedented product at unheard of prices... I'm definitely starting my own company! Seriously, Jim... with the Scarlet, you have an immense audience. It only goes to figure that with an increase in potential buyers, you'll have an increase in whiners. I know it is hard to ignore, and unfortunately the cry-babies are much easier to hear than the supporters, but you are changing the industry and you have already succeeded. I'm sure you already know all this, but I suppose you can never have too few encouraging words. Keep up the amazing work!

I'm thinking you should cave to the complainers and reorganize under a 501(c) and become one of those thousand points of light, or something. I'm guessing some of these people also go to the Cracker Jacks forum and complain about the prize they got in their last box. Or maybe you should sell your company to Canon or Sony and they'd sell the same cameras for quadruple the price and we'd be back to the industry status quo. I'm just saying.
 
Is it early 2009 already? Oh no, I was dreaming and just woke up.
Scarlet sounds good to me so far. Keep up the good work and start cranking them out asap.
You are the captain of your ship sir!
 
It´s either a $3000 pigeon sized Scarlet or a $13000 Sony with Interchangeable lenses but 1/2" chips and 4:2:0 and the size of a stuffed fish.

It´s either $3000 Scarlet or a $5000 Fixed lens, 1/3" chips, in a body of a Duck size. Plus P2...

It´s either $3000 Scarlet or a $8000 interchangeable lenses (¿Who?), 1/3" chips, HDV 4:2:0 and stucked into tape for three years because "it´s reliable". With the size of a deer butt doorbell.

If this is benevolent dictatorship, bring it on!
 
Look at history, same thing happed with RED ONE at the beginning. A lot of whining from "I want it all for nothing" crowd. Be ashamed. Most of us get dreams come true by what the RED team is doing. And aim not the fan boy but the critical one. Give constructive criticism and I'm sure they listen.

I need RED Digital Cinema in CHINA and it's Greater China regions in the world ( 1.3 billion population of people are watching )

Believe in CHINA for the last 10 years in general development in the largest RED map under the RED flag with 5 stars ?

I guess the man's gotta do what he thinks is best to have a product grid.

If the scarlett has interchangables it prob eats into the red one sales (remember that camera everyone?)... I think this camera is fantastic in spite of its name and fixed lens... The more I think about it the more I like it and Im sure there'll be a way to put 16mm primes on it or HD Primes on it by the time it comes out by Red or 3rd party... or maybe after it comes out.... we do all need to take a chill pill.

... And my gentle suggestion is (at the risk of ire) .... Maybe they should make the fixed or interchangeable an option and charge like an extra $3k for the interchangeable option... like that hardcore recording option you can have installed on the red if you need it. You know the one I'm talking about?

thanks for listening, thanks for these new cameras regardless.

I was at NAB last year I could barely get close to the booth. I was at NAB this year I got close enough to grab a brochure. Maybe next year I will actually get onto the booth. Next year I will have the two cameras I ordered sight unseen. 3k 4k 5k these are cameras on steroids. Red has crushed the competition and is way out in front. Performance enhancing cameras that's it!!!
If you buy a Red you still have to step up to the plate and swing the bat.
IF YOU OWN A RED YOU GET TO USE A BIGGER BAT!!!!
 
First they came for my film... And I said nothing...

There's a misconception by some that Red is only putting a fixed lens on Scarlet to protect Red One sales. I don't believe this to be true at all. A fixed lens gets the price down to where many that could never afford an interchangeable lens Red can start shooting Red footage soon. That's a big deal. Red doesn't protect their product lines by crippling features, that's something other manufacturers do.
