  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

New 6K Terra Camera: 6K for $5400?

Every single thing about this camera feels like a plain rip-off of Red Design's IP.

Mr Bloom referring to the camera's "Brain"... Like RED. Where's my bucket; you can't make this stuff up.

I give up...

No wait a minute...

I just found this review... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYeMk6w4kcU

Featuring the "Eierlegendewollmilchsau" (sp)... Literally the 'Egg-laying and milk giving wool-pig".
 
Has anybody seen that camera which looks like a Red they used to take on space missions decades back? Red didn't invent a these things. There should not even be a right to certain broad movements of design. But I'm been feeling like the proverbial bucket in recent years from all the glowing enthusiasms. Frankly I want to see more being done cheaper, ad was doing, not less. If they want to be real, offer a all in one package with a lens for $2k. If it wasn't for craft camera falling over, they all have been in desperate trouble. BM and Red should realise they need to go down market to stop competition from getting to them from underneath. The pro multipoint is enough to propulsion the higher end market.

I guess this is what RED is going to do already with Foxconn
 
I've used this camera recently as a crash cam on a feature. The menu system is a pain to navigate, and there is so much you can't do once you got used to red. The rolling shutter is the worst I used in years. We put a 18mm super speed on the 6k model and it had so much skew. Two things I loved though; how light weight it was, and how you can get well over an hour and half off of the hand grip battery. The low price always attracts but after use I wouldn't buy it. I'm happy with my epic w.
 
Rolling shutter. Yeah. Sony solved the issue on there handy cams by pulling out frames in faster speeds till 240th a second. Aptina used to have a snapshot feature. I wonder how that worked. Because I was just honking. You just need to parrallel pull off the sensor pad charge accross the chip to a local memory, then transfer that. Sony was, and I don't know what they do now, I'll the pad feeds off to a high-quality ADC off the sensor pad grid. But I always thought this could be done high-quality at the sensor. But now they are doing backlit sensors where the circuites are behind the pads (I would have thought that would have been named front lit, but what do I know) it shouldn't be such an issue.
