  • 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 :)

Ohmygosh...

I've known a lot of people get caught up in the obsession with having the newest and best. They don't want to buy one thing when another, better thing is just on the horizon, and eventually they end up never buying anything at all.

I've never seen a manufacturer fall into the same trap before.

I love my Red One, and once something actually starts shipping I'm sure I'll buy something in the new line-up. But as it stands, the only change that I'm really interested in hearing about is the one from "thought experiment" to "shipping product."

Anyone can come up with great specs. It's the follow-through that matters. I'd rather have a great Scarlet now than an awesome Scarlet never.

The Nehalem, 32GB of memory, and now this f#$@%^* news. Life is too good. O' wait... Snow Leopard, FCS3 imminent, NAB this month, Skype on the iPhone... I DIE. I can't take it anymore. :-)

Omygosh, like totally!

Love how it all can get summed up with two little words: "I DIE"! :yikes:

Scarlet S35 body at 4.5k.

Good one! I guess S35 Scarlet very well could have dropped in price a bit if Canon tries to "get back in the game". :rofl:

Ok... So I'd guess this supports a lower cost theory, OR, something else equally awesome.

Maybe:

Liam, I like the free beer idea. But I was thinking more of the scotch module

Either will be fine but neither is not acceptable. Hope Red is listening. I hear they do.


How about the thing about scratching the 2/3" so many other people mentioned? Not sure how this one would work, but S35 sized sensors will shoot the 2/3" area so we wouldn't be losing anything... and:

there is economies of scale in going all s35

Also, this could trump the "bigger sensor" marketing card which the "small guys" would love to play if left open for the opportunity.

However S35 Fixed Scarlet can't and won't happen cause the zoom would be big, way too much money... etc...

...though:

Bing Bailey said:
being able to mass produce those new primes might bring the costs down too. its harder to make lenses for smaller sensors anyway

Perhaps two levels of S35 primes? Red Pro Primes and Red Primes?

This seems more of a dream than a possibility though... I don't know enough about the suject to begin speculating but both of these sets could have S35 coverage, all T1.8, one set is sharper and has superior mechanics... The non-pro has Red Mount... I dunno... but there could be something here... no?

I think that's something Jim's mother did every day when he was growing up... either that or the Asterix potion.
 
Hey as long as we are changing things, how about a reaaaaaaaaly good movie camera, instead of some bastardized half breed that also does stills and makes coffee.

just saying....... :-)

...But I want mine to make coffee. :crying:
 
Is it a tape recording module?

I hope it's not an announcement of being bought out by pony, sorry Sony.

Actually, I think it's the merger of the two lines of cameras, Scarlet and Epic become Scarlic or Eplet.
:sifone:

Your killing us over hear Jim - any chance of a live feed from the party for us on the other side of the planet? Make it a password site for members only.

Maybe next year. I am hoping we'll have some video available after the event.
 
2/3" is a great format on its own. I hope they keep it. I'd love to see a micro 4/3rds option too.
 
BUMMER!!! I was going to go to NAB, frustrated I missed it last year, thinking about it all year! Now following Jim's post to not go, I skipped plans, now this RED PARTY??? You guys are so frustrating, now it's too late for me to book?!!!

have you checked prices? This will be my third year going and even though I just booked yesterday, I paid less than I did the previous two years! Things are cheap now!

I booked last night Lewis.

Shawn is correct. It's cheaper this year than last. Join the party.

ps. Bring your own cigars.
 
Release dates... yes. That may be one of the big ones. They've been working some overtime, showing us stuff at least two generations back (that includes Izzy?). The headache for the others may just be production in May... that'd be something.

And I'm rooting for s35 fixed scarlet. If Izzy is showing us what they had 2 gens back - no idea how fast they work, but that would be... November '08? October? Around when the 5mkII stuff hit the web. And the GH1 was announced just now. I'm just guessing here, but I think I'm prime-scarlet-fixed customer stuff. Some disposable income, big interest in narative video/film. It's the logical thing. The sensor isn't the biggest cost, its the high bandwidth hardware to support it.

But... somehow... I figure they have something bigger up their sleeve. Scarlet is just a fraction of red's interest, no idea what you big film people would love in Epic.
