This is extremely exciting news. As always, you are raising the bar.

My only concern is that RED keeps attention focused on perfecting the RED ONE and Workflow as soon as possible.

Rock on.

We agree with you about staying focused on perfecting the RED ONE and workflow. Everything we learn gets translated to the future...

Hey Jim, any chance of some custom Oakley shades, clothes, and watches to complement our cameras?

How about some custom RED stuff? We are working on a lot of accessories for RED.

I know this is a long-shot, but I believe there would be a niche market for a compact-size camera with a decent zoom range with a large sensor... I use DSLR cameras for professional shoots, but carry a Lumix DMC-TZ3 around with me for all my 'casual' photography.

The Lumix's lens isn't bad, but the sensor is poor, producing noisy/grainy images which require a lot of post-processing to make acceptable. However, it does mean I get plenty of pictures in situations where carrying around a DSLR would be impractical... especially in social situations, with friends/kidz, etc.

It would be wonderful to have a properly portable camera with a 24-200mm lens and a decent sensor, and would be willing to pay a premium price for it. I've made a long spec-list for this perfect compact if anyone shows any interest in the concept.

Of course, the real dream would be for this to be bolted on to an iPhone, allowing me to carry around just about everything I need in one device... but I realise this is some way down the line!
 
I am already using my RED ONE as a DSLR. I still cannot understand why anyone would rely on timing to "capture the moment" in fashion, sports, nature or most other photography when you can just shoot the entire shoot in print resolution and then forward frame-by-frame in RedCine allowing the client to pick the "shot" they like best. Export as TIFF, open in Photoshop, color correct, convert to CMYK and send it to press.

Granted, my DSLR is a bit lighter and more portable than the necessary RED setup. So the revolution (in my mind) would have to be size and weight or the RED ONE has already solved the problem. Not sure what you can do about lenses. My Cannon 70-200L is painful to carry and shoot with as well.

Not been there or done that with Red yet (Scarlet here I come) but I just bought the T-shirt.

I aim to use Scarlet to shoot boxing for the web, as well as for docs.
 
Stick a Sat Phone Modem on the back so Photojournalists can upload their images from the battlefield as they take them. My producer friends in News will love that.
 
Jim,

I'm a little confused...
The more you annonce Red products, the more it makes me want them :tongue:

But seriously I can't really figure wich solution would be the best for me now.
I ordered a Red One with Nikon mount to produce music videos (that's my business). Epic specs, I think will be too big for what I need and Scarlet is (maybe) not enough.

But your DSMC (Digital Still & Motion Camera) !!! I don't know anymore...
As I said I'm confused...

But always amazed by what you guys keep on doing.

Can't imagine needing to; we already think the One is pretty epic!

Several of our team are already saving for her. Just tell us when you want our money. :clown2:

As much as I don't personally care about the D90 or Canon's new offering, a DSLR motion-picture hybrid from YOU guys ... probably ought to play it safe and start saving for one of those, too.

Production company. Agency. Clients. Crew. It's a regular RED love fest! :love:
 
I have only two words to throw into this discussion:
Battery. Consumption.

I love my digital still cameras but I so miss the old 35mm fully automatic happy snappers that will sit on the shelf for a year or so and spring into action at a moment's notice! Where a single 123 battery lasts for years:sad:

I suspect that 24fps 4K would require pretty some serious power, but it would be fantastic if that dropped to virtually zero in between shots. That would take some serious chip design and probably a OLED viewfinder, but the design could trickle down to cheap mass-market cameras.

And that's all I have to say about that subject.

If people are not stunned by the specs and design, I will retire... truly.
