  • 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 :)

People WAKE UP

The only realistic solution for interchangeable lenses would be for RED to make their own lenses and have their own mount system on the camera.

All other lenses are designed for too big a sensor (35mm etc) or are simply too cumbersome (B4 lenses). For Scarlet to be a good an usable camera in it's market the lens needs to communicate well with the camera, and there are no contenders for that functionality.
 
i see a lot of people comparing what the scarlets DOF will be like to the HVX and other 1/3" cameras that are out there. have these people forgotten that it is a 2/3" sensor, which is approximate to 16mm film DOF.

if that's not the very definition of independent film, then what is?

if you want that look without an adapter, get a RED ONE. basically this thing is 3K RAW with the equivalent of 16mm depth of field. try that with an HVX...for 3 grand!!! not happening.

small moves...small moves...

Yes, please do imagine the horror of someone creating an example of cinematic excellence with a camera that costs $3000. It will happen, and it will happen soon. Imagination is what counts, not how much your damn camera costs.
 
Everybody should get at a chance. The fact is, in this business like any other you get ahead or eliminated by the quality of your work or product. If anybody thinks they are going to make it big because a high quality camera is affordable to them, well, it is Ok to dream. In the end you make it if what you put out with that camera is remarkably good and you are able to bring it out to the public to see and you get money for it. A lot of people have HVX 200s, EX1s, HVX 500s and are not able to break thru, others have done great and profitable work with them.
This camera won’t be an automatic way to filmmaking stardom. There are way too many really bad scripts in people’s brains. But at least it will give you a chance to try.
 
manymoosh, Please keep posts friendly and helpful. If you think someone's got something totally wrong then try and help them in the right direction rather than just calling them idiots. I thought that was what we were about here?
I agree with what you're saying in fact, but even that doesn't stop others having a different opinion!

What I was personally hoping for was a S35 sensor in a body that allowed maximum flexibility for lenses and other accessories. 3K price point isn't what it's all about when the competitor's cams are selling well at 7-10K. I'd pay 6K for the above mentioned cam in a heartbeat. Probably higher.

Maybe so, but that is not what we are building, so not point discussing it.

Scarlet is a super compact 2/3" 3K RAW camera - effectively a variable prime (i.e zoom) lensed F23 in your pocket for $3K.

If you would like us to consider building a $7K camera, O.K start a new thread on that subject.

i suggest you contact other manufacturer's and request the above camera ( don't forget to mention the price you're willing to pay) ..
you might start over at SI where they do have a 2/3" mini that does take lens .. i think base price is 15k + add $$ for a compter so you can record .. perhaps if they get enough request they will offer a S35 mini at $6k ??
