How much do you have saved so far?

[Gavin Greenwalt]

Wow! $30k for a camera kit? I'm hoping to spend about half that. I think I can do it.

That was my first reaction until I noticed "With 27k left over for production" at the end.

23K left over
I think 7K is more than enough to grab a cinema and 1 or 2 mini primes
(plus power, lcd and memory)

Just spent of bunch of my Scarlet money on a Canon 5D mkII

i'm embarrassed to say, i may have to do the same. i'll shame myself into staying off these forums until the scarlet is actually released. i could probably make enough money with my 5dmkii to pay for a couple scarlets by the time they actually make it to market.

Just be careful what you commit to with a 5D.

A producer I met with today for a reshoot said they lost about $200k worth of action that was shot on 5D2 because it didn't pass QC. Ouch.

Stills. Shoot stills for money. Can't beat the 5D for stills.

Also, now that the manual control is out, it probably would get past QC.

you guys are right. i'm not buying a 5d. i'll wait. honestly, red is doing me a favor. the longer the wait, the more i save. i'll probably get an even better scarlet when they're release, then i would have got if it was out today!

This flip flopping is very confusing Aaron :yesnod::nonod::confused5:

 

[Aaron Newsome]

Not flip flopping. Sticking with my HDV cam for now. Waiting patiently

hmmm.....

Ah yes, a superb stills camera it is!

I have enough to get the scarlet 3k, wish I could afford one of the epic cameras (9k are 28k) though.

Does anybody think the wait period/features/price justify holding out for the FF35 over the S35? I'm still debating to be honest. My fear tho is that they will get the S35's out and have to push back the FF35's because it's newer chips/complications etc...

 

[Gavin Greenwalt]

The price difference is so small I think I'd regret not waiting ~6 months.

For those of us who are not currently Red owners, we will likely be waiting six months, anyway.

 

[Gavin Greenwalt]

I don't think RED owners get any purchase priority on Scarlet.

They better not they already have a camera!

Monstro series chips have always been scheduled for early to mid 2010 release at the earliest. Only 2/3" and S35 for this year if they even make that.

It's gonna be legen... wait for it!! ...

 

[Jesper Sichlau]

$1330 so far. Going for the fixed Scarlet, so I'm on my way. But of course I'll have to buy my plane ticket plus all the extra stuff for the camera as well... so it's probably only one ninth of the price.

 

[Brock S.]

Plane ticket? Wha?
