You WILL be stunned. My money is on Jim not retiring :) Everyone at RED is SO excited about the upcoming product that there are eventually going to be fistfights over who gets to do test shoots with what and when....

Jim is usually excited about all the Red products, so his enthusiasm for this is to be expected. But when you get posts like this from the grunts, that's when you know you've got a hot product.

I'm looking forward to some great things from you guys. I just hope you can keep it fairly affordable.
 
I've been looking to migrate to a digital still camera that will give me at least 100% of the quality I am now getting from 24 x 36 mm film.

In the last 20 years, I have only used a Nikon F3 and Contax G2. So I don't switch cameras very often.

I think I'll be making my next switch in 2009...

We believe, and are developing for late 2009, a replacement for DSLRs. Currently, we call it a DSMC (Digital Still & Motion Camera).

So if I understand correctly this is being developed now for release in late 2009? Or is it that your shooting for development in late 2009?

Im actually looking into the new 24mp Sony just announced. (Always loved the functioning/layout of the Minolta/Sony cameras over the canon...)

But Im totally digging what you guys have done in the cinema/video world and if buying a DSLR would probably not hesitate to buy yours. :)

Peace

Aah! Just when I had put together my plan for the Canon 5D. And then a RED ONE. Now 2009 will be one great year.

RED ONE and DSMC? This is not real. Hahahahahaaaaaaa! :matrix:

No offense intended guys. I know you are very skilled at what you do, and we all respect your contributions. It just says a lot to me to see that whole company so excited about a product.

I won't comment on any specifics until the 1st of the year. But "revolution" applies more to this than the RED ONE did to cinema.

Well, buy IMS out (and set them up as European Service Centre - although want one in the UK too) and Birger (and give Erik Birger a job!), and have a mount system that is lens brand agnostic! :sorcerer:
 
I am excited but also worried. This sounds like another delay for scarlet, 4k projection.
 
This is a fantastic news Jim, but I truly hope that you do, as you did with the Cinema Cameras, make more then one to fit different needs, I would love to buy a 40D like "DSMC" for every day use, but I would sure would Love to buy an "DSMC" like the 1Ds III or better yet the Hassy H3DII 50 for my professional use.


In any event you have and will continue to have my unconditional support as I have already purchased 3 RED ONE, and even is circumstances were not favorable to me in keeping them all, I'll buy more of them as well as numerous SCARLETTs and EPICs, that much I can promise you.


Truly look forward to your move in Vegas, as you will literally be next door to my Studios, and look forward to things to come from you and your team, as I already see that they will be absolutely Amazing things of the feature to come of the electronic Digital media of the Still and Motion world of Photography.

Question for Jim... no specs

Question for Jim... no specs

I've got a couple of questions you might be able to answer that have to do with SCARLET and the RED DSMC.

Question 1) Of the two if you had to just pick one which is more likely to be with you 100% of the time? I'm talking everything from a trip to the cafe or even on a long bike ride.

Question 2) Of the two if you had to choose just one which you would bring to an event like an athletic event or concert at the park that you need to capture?

Make no mistake, I'm getting both. I've been shooting SLR's since the original Nikon FM and I have just started to pick up moving pictures as a hobby for which SCARLET seems to be the most accessible tool in your toolbox.

Keep up the good work.

Just playin' :)

You are right, there is enough excitement around here to power the Strip in Vegas!

Jim, I have this gut feeling that if anyone can do this, it's you.
I have a big sense of brand loyalty. Right now that applies to Nikon, Apple, and RED.
I might not jump ship immediately when the DSMC comes out...but I've got this feeling that I'll have one within a year of it coming out.

Hopefully the DSMC will be a sufficient replacement for action/sports photography in terms of long glass quality/availability and autofocus.

Now the question is, how can I get a job with you guys :)

As far as glass is concerned... glass is easier than sensors. Just takes longer...

Long telephoto, wide wide, all f2.8 or faster at consumer prices? Wishing the best, but not expecting it! :w00t:
