Game... Set... Match!

[Peter Moretti]

I just got back from the Canon event at Paramount. Very professionally done. Beautiful displays with lots of cameras and lenses. Wonderful panels of people talking about their films from acquisition to post to final delivery. Got to see the new Media Composer (no comment) and demo Premiere a little. Good coffee, okay food, nice bottles of OJ.

But as for the images shown on the big screen?... the food was better. I can absolutely say that footage from any Red camera absolutely, incontrovertibly BLOWS THEM AWAY. There is quite simply no comparison. (I don't even think that this camera bests an F3 w/o S-Log or 4:4:4 just shooting XDCAM-EX w/ a Hypergamma.)

Image wise, these cameras don't deserve to mentioned in the same breath of Red.

To add to all this, I found the new form factor odd and fiddly; like a cross between an FS100 and an AF100.

Given the specs, isn't it obvious?

I wonder how many people got fired today at Canon?

I'm more excited about the alleged 4k capable dslr that Canon is allegedly going to release.

The features I do admire about the Canon C300 are.....ummmm....well.....as a proud owner of a 7D....ummmm......darn it Canon, I need to....yeah.

Nevermind.

I'm trying to talk myself out of buying a Scarlet because I don't need it but I do want to play with it!

they could have just made 7d a bit better on its shortcomings and even a bit more expensive. as far as event execution - corporate world ways don't really work anymore. RED did it relatively for free.
