If I understand your touchpad idea it's basically the same principle as a joystick. Either way, I think a cursor to ID the focus point is necessary on the LCD/VF...and then a button to engage the mechanism.

Maybe I was not clear enough. The touchpad idea depends on the cursor you mentioned, which would have to be more like a few points around an empty space - for example that Predator movie three dot thing might work. It also depends on another button for activating focusing which would have to be also on the handle but under pointing finger. This seems like the most natural, and most intuitive solution to me.

What I tried to explain is that with touchpad you'd have a non linear realtime control over monitor surface and reaction speed dependent only on your thumb speed (no digital path lag) which in the case of a joystick you'd miss, or it would be unnatural - digitally controlled by strength or angle of pressure, hence limiting. One example which might be close enough is computer gaming world where there is absolutely no chance you can be as fast and precise with a joystick or controller as with a mouse, because mouse is as fast as your hand is. You can also imagine controlling your computer cursor with a joystick.

What about the ND filter wheel on the 8x? Can we get the specs on what levels are included? Are they IR/ND filters(is that even an issue anymore?)?

3 Positions.. OFF, .9ND and 1.8ND.
 
The UI looks very slick. I can't wait to be shooting in Pittsburgh with my S35 this summer. I am sure it will beat the hell out of the beach.

Yes, frame guide choices are independent per monitor output. Lots of flexibility here.

So just as one example - the camera's default operational setup - a 5" touchscreen LCD may be showing full camera menus plus Look Around and Frame Guide graphics, the HDMI output may be providing a 720p Preview Output with Safe Action and Safe Title, and the HD-SDI output (on EPIC bodies, or either I/O module) may be providing a clean feed (no graphics) 1080p Program Output.

Monitor output resolutions are also very flexible, so for each output we can scale the monitor path information to support 720p or 1080p or 800 x 480 etc....

Great to hear, thanks Stuart.
 
Even though these products are not fully out yet, it would be nice to have comparison chart to compare different products and their versions, especially Scarlet and Epic.

This might be because there is something I dont understand about the feature,

BUT I am very concerned about a "5 axis" adjustable sensor.... in my mind the simpler the design the less problems... a sensor being "off axis" in the field, would be a show stopper.

If it was up to me there would not even be a backfocus to adjust:)

but as I said it might be a really cool feature I just don't understand....

I asked a little about this before - 4 of the axes are shop-adjustable only. The 5th is the backfocus plane, and is the only user adjustable one. So once the factory sets up your sensor position, and until you find some reason to have it adjusted (that I imagine is about fine-tuning your mount to your lens kit, but am not sure... would love to hear more), you need only worry about back-focus.

we are working on an updated spec sheet :)

What is the difference between the two body types?

What does Magnesium offer ?
Click to expand...

Much lighter weight. That is one of the biggest drawbacks of my RED ONE. It's heavy. Magnesium will shave more weight potentially enabling the use of smaller support systems. It gets my vote.

I looked. Though in the past Red has said that the brain has an HDMI port, I didn't see it listed in yesterday's announcement, whereas other I/O options were.

ok, sorry...
look at this, hope this helps

I don't know if this question is ask before but does the side handle has a battery or compact flash input? Or just only buttons :)

Scarlet gets even slimmer if you take off the Side CF module..

...which can be very desirable for crash cam and also broadcast-style "POV" applications.
Click to expand...

Can the side CF module be mounted on the opposite side? And if you put two 2/3" Scarlets together side by side with mini primes, how close will the center of the lenses be:)

All these anouncements are awesome, but I'm a bit lost on one point :

Given that the Scarlet now has so many high-end features that were initially only available on Epic, what are the differences between Epics and Scarlets now ?

There is a $21 000 price difference between a S35 Epic and a S35 Scarlet.

Are the higher frame rates and bitrates the only differences ?
120 fps at 3K on Scarlet (+ 150 fps burst), Redcode 100
160 fps at 3K on Epic, and 100 fps at 5K, Redcode 250 ?

Did I miss something ?
