How many of you have never owned a ...

After all, RED did invent the DSMC term (which I wondered why it had the S before the M).

I guess you are describing the same dream we all have: one camera to rule them all.

It has already been discussed ad nauseum here, but for true DSMC RED would need to make Scarlet S35. And while that might be coming sooner or later (would be a great surprise Nov 3.), all the talk and demos from Ted has been of a 2/3" Scarlet.

Ted's camera seems really sweet, but it is not going to be omnipotent.

I have a 5D mkII that I'm hanging on to, because it can do things that are not possible for Scarlet. And best of all: the kind of close ups, shallow DOF shots where the 5D mkII excels are also the shots where it has fewest problems with artifacts and codec.

Take care

I guess I can dream; 12MP would be the ideal resolution (although if Epic is 14MP I don't think it would be that close unless somehow RECODE RAW magic makes an 8MP image look like double that).

If the sensor is 2/3s, then I think I would consider saving up for an Epic instead of buying a Scarlet. I truly hope that RED gives us another version (FF or S35) so that our old glass collection (Nikon, Canon, etc) could be used with it. We'll see what's in store Nov 3rd.

I'm usually pretty calm...but I could only think of one way to describe what it will be like when I get the Scarlet...Pacing, dancing, and ultimately injuring myself while running around my house rapidly excited....

See Exhibit A:

Moving up from Canon XL2. New to video. Nothing but Nikon for stills up to this point. An Epic with a Nikon mount would be quite a thrill for me. Some day...

Also moving up from Canon XL1. I've waited for the RED Scarlet Fixed. I didn't buy any other camera because I didn't want to spend any cent on an DSLR knowing that it is not as good as the RED Scarlet. Learning a now workflow, spending money on new hardware and do that all again when the RED Scarlet arrives.
I know, the Canon XL1 is just DV and 4:3 and... but for me and my customers it was still ok. REd Scarlet will be a hole different game... A game changer... :smile:
