What to say.... Fantastic news, congratulations!
Can't wait to see more and a upgrade for my beloved Scarlet of course. ;)

There goes my SUPER SPEEDS & COOKES.. but I'm quite happy shooting 5k with extra latitude, do I need to shoot a full 6K sensor... Nope :) but latitude is a biggy.
Great work guys.

The larger sensor size vs cinema lens coverage issue kinda disappointed me at first...then I thought about how 5K resolution area on the sensor will be a little bit smaller area. So, if I shoot in 5k on a Dragon, maybe a few more wide lenses will "work" at 5k, I will get a look around area in the viewfinder, and what sounds like a very large improvement in DR and sensor noise reduction...

And if I slap on some stills lenses, I can switch up to 6K recording and get a higher 'megapixel' count for stills...

I've got $6K, let me know when you're ready to take it off my hands :laugh:
 
When will new camera sales come standard with Dragon sensor? Will upgrades take place first?... or will upgrades and new sales open simultaneously?
 
16 Stops, and ISO2000=ISO800..... WOW! Thanks Jim, Jarred and RED team. This is huge. Thanks for offering this as an upgrade, I'm glad I bet RED. Any hints when we might get to see some footage or a frame grab? :)

I will have to create a list as well..... incomparable way of doing business.... THANK YOU JIM!
 
Prediction: Dragon ends the Epic v. Alexa debate once and for all.

Maybe even Deakins will change his tune?

Can't believe we get basically new cameras for $6k. You can bet that Canon and Arri would leap at this opportunity to charge for a full rig all over again. Red is an incredibly rare company... Huge thanks to Jim for yet another gift to Red's customers. Unbelievable.

Are you really complaining about a $6K upgrade?

... or would you rather like to pay in full for the all new xyz-cam at only $6K more than what you paid for the zyx-cam to the same manufacturer last year?
(This of course would leave you with an extra camera body which may not sell/rent so easily after the new sensor came out. If you are considering to go this path, this could always be done by buying a new EPIC with a Dragon sensor :)
 
I'm stoked to hear about the sensor Upgrade. It's one of the things that makes Red a great company and their cameras great tools.

Unfortunatly I wouldn´t bet on it, I can´t for the world imagine why anyone would choose Alexa over Epic today, so if they can do it today, they probably will tomorrow, but we can always hope ;-)

My guess is that some people choose a camera based on a `good looking´ picture on a monitor. ( It´s a bit like buying a car for it´s paint color.) If you come from film negative, you may probably not be overly familiar with tweaking images in post because you had to `do it right´ in the camera anyway. For any CGI person the choice between A & E will a non brainer, based on resolution alone.
