OK... there is a ton of excitement here at RED over the Dragon sensor. The tests are in and it exceeds everyone's expectations.

So you own an EPIC? You get to upgrade to the single most significant sensor in the history of image capture for $6K. You don't have to buy a new camera. This is RED at it's best.

Come the end of the year... there will be a new dynamic range King. It just so happens that there is a new resolution King at the same time. And frame rates don't suffer.

Is this really big news? YES.

Woohoo!!!

What about...low light king? :-). 20,000iso useable?
 
Two Epics patiently waiting here for 6k sensors ...

Can you clarify the maximum fps in 6k, 2.4 x 1 aspect ratio?
 
The Dragon sensor is the cleanest sensor you have ever seen. ISO 2000 looks better than MX at ISO 800.

If you bet on RED... the Dragon will be the payoff.

This sensor upgrade is definitely a very exciting prospect for our cameras.

Will there be any sort of priority for early EPIC-M owners based on delivery dates or Serial numbers the way there was for M to MX sensor upgrade?

Thanks RED.
 
Is it true that only new EPICs purchased will get the free 6K Dragon upgrade? How about the 2 Epics-M's and 2 Epic-X's I purchased? I have to pay $6K for for camera or do we get free upgrades as well if we spent over $50K per order at the time of order. I guess I'm not sure why only new customers would get the upgrade when the old loyal customers who believed in RED (especially with the M series) must pay. Just a question. :)
 
I would hope you have gotten use and value out of your EPICs. And did you get a 100% trade in from your RED ONEs?

Are you really complaining about a $6K upgrade?

Jim

You never disappoint Jim. It amazes me how such a small company can out maneuver, develop and think outside the box than your competitors that have more resources, and experience than RED. I guess there was a lot of money to be made with the status quo.

Status quo is a dangerous game....for your competitors.
 
Yay!!! Mark my place on the queue!! ( this year's Macau GP -November 15-18 I'll be shooting MX, right? No problem at all: it's still going to produce the most stunning ever racing footage to be seen from this event :)
 
Epic -M owners will get priority for the Dragon upgrade.

No free upgrades before the NAB special $50k deal.. It has nothing to do with loyalty.. it has to do with economics. As much as we would love to.. as a business we can't give everything away for free.. we already did that once.
