Would you buy a Scarlet if your expectations are met?

If so, how much would you be willing to spend if all of them were met?

Clear Speculation...just a fun poll.
 
I voted for $2500. A pocket camera, professional or not, it can't possibly have all the features found on bigger cameras. Lenses and sensors and what not are physically bigger on "good" cameras. So given the size/features ratio that I can speculate out of this "pocket camera", a good price would be $2500 and not a dime more.
 
I chose $3,250 because that is pretty much all I have...so i guess compared to others' vote, it is equal to about 5 Grand. :-)

Anyway, I can hardly wait til NAB comes...also I hope they are cheap enough for me to buy 2.

Thanks to the people who vote, and explain why they voted for what.
 
remove the low pricepoints

remove the low pricepoints

you should remove the $1000 and $2500 options. anyone choosing them either hasn't set their expectations high enough or are delusional about the price performance ratio that scarlet should and could have.

who cares about a $1000 or $2500 cam? we have dozens of those on the market already that do a perfectly fine job already.
 
If it is to be better than Sony EX1 or Panasonic HVX200 (which is to be expected from Red:-), I have no problem paying $7,000 for it. The price points up to $4,500 are unrealistic and plain silly.

That was what I was thinking too. Is there a way to edit them? I didn't think that was possible.

We have no official documentation from RED on what the exact specifications on the camera are, therefore expectations will fluctuate all over the map. Any of those individuals voting for a lower price could just as easily make the same claims you've just made but aimed at the $5,000 or $7000 options. Nobody can make a definitive claim because it's based on pure speculation.

Can't say everybody will agree with you making the claim that consumer cameras do a perfectly fine job already, but there certainly are a lot of them to choose from.

If the OP does remove those options, then the votes that were cast for those price points should be rounded up to the next available options.
If you want to keep the poll realistic, maybe we should have waited when we knew more facts about the camera, but like the OP said, it was just for fun.
 
Digigenic is right. You can't say that you only expect super-high-end products from this company when they have only released a single product and have not given details about the Scarlett. Therefore, it's a perfectly good assumption to think that the camera will only cost $2000 or $10000.

Personally, this is what I want from a smaller camera:

Currently, no manufacturer has created such a product, so why not the Scarlett?

are you sure?.. if you're so certain.. then why 25% are there?.. don't underestimate who has given the bucks to red for being alive..
 
ok guys... im going to say $2000 simply to try and lower the average here. The red one was revolutionary in the fact that it made new precedents in how we think about price points. $2500 sounds great... :)

maybe im dreaming... but what better way to take over an industry then to make all the competitors models overwhelmingly overpriced overnight.
 
It's ridiculous to even ask this question until we know exactly what its capabilities will be.
 
It's not ridiculous to ask. Price is just as much a specification as sensor size. Often you have to design to a price point.

I'd consider Scarlet in the $1k to $5k range. The higher on that scale, the less I'd consider it, with $5k being almost zero.
 
Its all going to depend of course on the final feature set.

But when you consider it will 1.) most likely be 2k, and 2.) most likely be HVX sized or smaller ("pocket camera"), anything around $5k to $7k is a good target.

I mean heck, a new HVX goes for $5200.00

Who WOULDN'T pay $6k-ish for a 2k camera with a 35mm sensor and 4:4:4?
 
Whoa - a Red Team member voted for $3250. Wonder if that means anything.
 
That's the DVX/XH-A1 pricepoint....Hmmm....
