  • 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 :)

Dragon...

I'm selling my Red MX - I missed stage 3 by 3 days due to confusion with the seller... oh well.

I'm only selling the MX so I can move up to Epic anyhow.

My question re the dragon sensor is: is the extra latitude in the direction of the highlights or the darks or both?

I'd love to see the Red get even more see-in-the-dark.
 
yeah I always kinda hoped there would be something behind that old quote. Wish there was something left in store for the Red One, sad to just see it lose value every month.

joking right? R1 has been off the chart for upgrades and manufacturer loving. I have never seen else like it in any industry. Do the annual depreciation to zero . . . if you R1 guys haven't been able to cover that annual cost then find another career! That is not an insult - it would be true if it was a farm tractor or airplane.
 
Don't get me wrong Jim, I love my Reds. I'm happy that I'll at least be able to upgrade my Scarlet to Dragon. I'll be buying an Epic later this year. Just my second handy Red One MX has lost so many dollars in the last few months, I fear that with the pricing of a Scarlet with dragon upgrade will force my One MX's price down even further.

Mine was bought second hand for what I figured was a fair price, but it dropped drastically quickly. I'm ok with it, it's just money, but a person can hope can't they. No need to be like that.
 
Hopefully Scarlet can get 6k at speed. Maybe 30fps. Fingers crossed. I call dibs on being first in line for the Scarlet upgrade :)

No one would deserve it more. You are a huge resource to the entire RED community

Are the images it makes any worse than they were yesterday?

Are the images it makes vastlty better the images needed - still - for some reasonably large percentage of jobs?

Quit griping man.

Everything you buy in technology goes down in value the minute you buy it. We have provided a way to mitigate that loss with upgrade programs. The real way to win this game is to put your tools to work.

The RED ONE had an upgrade path to EPIC.

Think of what options you had with any other camera company.

I know it's your baby so I fully understand you have to defend it. Its just sad that every time you have to do it over again. Everybody should know by know what the deal is.

No one else would be as calm repeating himself over and over again! No one else would answer at all. Not Sony not canon. No one

Hey guys what are you talking about. I have both an Epic and RED ONE, I now have two cameras that shoot 4K, so the B Unit has been upgraded from HD to 4K.
Can you buy any other 4K camera YET even after this NAB(Except a RED), there will be nothing that will be a better 4K camera price/performance wise, that has
internal 4K recording, raw, and host of other stuff. The world has yet to catch up with 4K Projection, let alone Broadcast.

Do not be mistaken that you NOW have dud with the RED ONE, you can still go out there and shoot incredible footage.

Any new RED Rocket announcements to mitigate all the extra data wrangling with 6K coming off the sensor?
 
Everything is being looked at... including the Rocket.

Many high end prods are being shot TODAY with cameras far less capable than a One MX and they are getting away with it. It still does more TODAY than a Scarlet, it is still rock-solid TODAY.
 
Meanwhile... Canon C300 customers are kicking themselves after seeing their cameras become obsolete barely after they've been delivered.
