  • 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 :)

RED DRAGON Scores Highest DXOMark Score ever.

I think this is the coolest part: For the rest of history, this camera will be the first one ever regarded as 'Above the Line' the first one to ever break the 100 point limit.

Congratulations. It was nice to see how impressed they are. It really comes through in the review. It´s another thread already on this so maybe they should merge?
 
Incredible! That's all I can say for now.

I really can't wait until my epic gets it's upgrade! I'm checking my email on a daily basis.

yeah you guys woke up earlier than me :) merged.
 
I was struck by the disparity of MPs between Dragon and the cameras it beat. Having used Genuine Fractals years ago, I am aware how well an image can enlarge via software. Pulling an image from a thousand frames rather than a few large MP shots from a dedicated stills camera just opens up the content being provided.

So Dragon opens up the possibilities not only for providing more content for motion, but for stills as well. Content consumers must love you guys.
 
Meet U all at Swallows

Thank you very much

Hehehe! They finally included RED....!

I as well kept asking them to include the cameras a couple a few times ;) I'm glad they finally did it!

The request to include Arri seems a little bit far fetched, because until now they only compared stills camera. And the RED DSMC not only play in that stills league, but they kicked it's ass :)

Go RED!
 
Oh, and did I say: Congrats Jim, Jarred and team :)
 
great news!
i am wondering how compression plays into this though....afaik dxo mark reads the data straight from the sensor (not sure how they do that in this case?) so what compression ratio does this refer to?
obviously the still cameras they usually test don't have this issue....
i am also not so sure about the 14.8 f-stops.....(or the 14.4 of the d800?)....i have compared my epic to the d800 and it was close but epic was slightly ahead imo....although using the shadow slider on d800 raw files is pretty amazing.....that is definitely one area where i have high hope for dragon..even if everybody talks about better highlights...

They did mention they were testing the Dragon at 23.976 frame rate and 5.1 compression ratio.
 
Jarred, did you offer them test it? Or did DXO ask for a camera to test ?
 
Love this

It’s hard to believe that this sensor could encroach on Sony full-frame CMOS sensors for dynamic range and medium format CCD imagers for color sensitivity. It does more than encroach, the Epic Dragon takes the top spot in both these important categories.

Congrats Jim, Jarred and all those hard working engineers at RED!! So proud of you all!!

This is also a huge pad in the back for all of those that went all in with RED.. :hurray:


Waiting for the beast!! :D
 
Congrats team RED!!

I cannot wait until the Scarlet Dragon upgrade is available.

Question, what is the dragons "native" ISO? I have heard 250, 800, and 2000.
 
PS, I particularly liked this quote:

More importantly, the ability to choose a high quality still photo from a movie sequence will be invaluable to time-pressured imaging professionals, in the studio or elsewhere. While this will take some time to filter down to consumer level HD-DSLRs, this new technology just may forever change the way both footage and stills are shot in the future.
