  • 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 :)

Do you wish the price of the Scarlet or Epic Drop?

Lets keep the prices where it is if not higher. Remember buy what you can afford in a camera, other wise RENT IT. Sure I want cooke s5's but, I'm not emailing them that Rokinon just came out with cinema primes for next to nothing... There's no reason why they should drop prices with bmcc. Frankly, I don't want my investment, involed with such a low end camera market. Where's the return? I doubt it's gonna affect RED's market at all, as RED is a high end PROFESIONAL camera. The BMCC on the other hand.... Not so much... Have you ever held the 2.5k version? Or used it on set? Best way to discribe my experince is, it's shit. But that's just me, I'm used to using cameras like the EPIC/SCARLET, REDone and Alexa. It's a nice camera for students or entry market people though. Comes with resolve and ahh, resolve...

But anyways, it's not like this just came out of no where and RED has to rethink its strategy. It was bound to happen that a company would deliver a 4k camera for 4k. RED knew this would happen, which is one major reason they axed the 3k for 3k bs. Because RED is and wants to stay in the PROFESIONAL market. Which is good for everyone, even if you can't afford it. 4k is here for everyone now, and RED already moved on to 5k and soon 6k.

It's good to have the choice.
So you can buy Red for more or buy BMC for less money, but don't ask Red to reduce the price ! If you need a high IQ picture on yours kids' soccer games or birthday BMC is good enough. Red is professional tools.

BMC cameras don't even have OLPFs. They are bargain cams for low end projects and crash cams. "4K" is just a spec. It says nothing of the image quality, color science, etc. which will actually come out of that BMC camera, or even the real resolution it will be able to resolve. My plasma claims 1 000 000:1 contrast ratio. I measured 6200:1 .
