Wow. Just wow.

Can't think of anything to complain about. The F55 even has a global shutter.

Obviously, the full verdict's not in until we see footage, workflow, pricing....but let's be honest, this looks damned sweet.

 

[Sergio Perez]

Well, took them 3 years or so but yeah, impressive!

I don't understand; it's relevant here too - since it's head-to-head with Epic.

They nailed it, this camera is going to be massive

 

[S. Rudolf]

They sure "borrowed" a LOT from RED and from Alexa.....but yep, nailed it.

So can we assume the F65 price just went through the floor, Just like the F35.

As RED has proved time and time again, competition is good! Looks like they've borrowed a hell of a lot from Epic though!!!

Thought they may have gone with in built ND filters, audio capability looks way better than RED and I suspect their post workflow is going to be sweet and will be aimed at courting the broadcast market - looks like they've been working extensively behind the scenes already with Adobe/Apple etc.. Global shutter on the F55 a big plus over Epic - any word on global shutter as part of the Dragon upgrade? Seems alogical way to go?

Still keen to see how Canon's C500 shapes up too.

BIG wish list for RED - in built ND's, improved audio (currently RED's audio sucks! REALLY sucks), BIG reduction in media costs, ability to shoot to Pro Res in full HD and 4K. PLEASE get the mini Meissler module out asap, leaving this until next year is playing into the hands of your competitors.

Ships february 2013. Price when will be the key, if the f5 will be indeed around $15.000 that will be unbelievable cool really curious about the price of the viewfinders and lenses too.

red really has to bring out that toia module asap to stay in the game for broadcast.

They have cut the price nearly in half, after what I´ve heard.

 

[George Chinn]

Just off to the London launch. Looking forward to seeing some footage out of it.

And people are still happy to invest in this stuff ?

Our Red kit is still being upgraded....
