  • 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 ONE offer - what is included?

So the flash card recorder is included in the basic body. Will it use regularly available cards we can buy at the computer store when we suddenly need more. What about reading the card in the computer. Will we need a red reader?

TJ check out the "flash incompatibility" This is being discussed right now.

The camera comes with an LCD, right? You could use it as a poor man's EVF, right? If I really don't need to buy the optional EVF, I think I'm out for $18,500, plus the cost of the F-mount adapter, and the RED rail!

Well, that's probably just plain silly, right? How can I shoot without a high quality EVF? Oh, well . . . I just hope RED's EVF is loads cheaper than the color HD one Sony makes for the F900 [$10,000]!

It will not record to "standard" flash media [CF, SD, etc.]. It will record to RED FLASH high-capacity, high-quality, high-speed cards. We do not yet know specifics on size or pricing.

I imagine that they will release an external FW800 reader for RED FLASH cards. This is, however, speculation.

One could import footage using the camera as a deck, AFAIK.

But surely the Red Flash will simply be a spinoff of the new highspeed flash media coming out over the next few months, even Jim doesn't have the dollar to shell out on Flash R&D it would be pointless to for such a small market. So in actual fact it ought to use the up and coming media that WILL be available in computer stores in the near future. If it doesn't then that smacks of a lack of modularity, especially if those outside the US have to wait a week or longer to get another card.

Why not? As Red has already stated that they will have a focus assist to help in focusing, if you are willing to forgo some accuracy on other elements, I do think the LCD can be used as a poor man's EVF.

A lot of independent films was shot and monitored on the LCD screen that came with the camera, as long as the focus is fine I think it can be done with some compromises.

Cool! I did just take a closer look at the LCD's pre-release photos at RED.com, and hopefully, it'll be an adequately functioning substitute for a real EVF. If it has a focus assist, decent resolution, and at least the bare minimum VF status indicators, that's great! Now, did we just make up the fact that the LCD comes with the body, or has someone at RED confirmed that the LCD is included in the $17.5K?
 
Häakon said:
Sorry, you're correct. I just copied Rob's list from a little while ago and that's how it was referenced. The LCD is separate, and is mountable on any of the positioning points on the camera, rails, cage, etc. The main thing is that it's included in the purchase price. :)

Nevermind.
 
Details on what's included in the box should be available in March (according to an earlier post by Jim)

When will we know what level of computer we'll need for all the various res'?

I know to buy closest to when you need it, but knowing render times/monitoring/storage would be cool too.

Thanks.
 
As soon as we have solid numbers to give you. That's the best I can do at the moment. The software is still in development and will be further enhanced after the camera ships. So expect updates.

I would not buy any RED related gear before you get the camera or NAB roles around.

I'm not trying to be vague, I just don't have the numbers for you yet. I want to make sure you get the right numbers. They will come out before the camera ships, that I can promise.
 
I am thrilled that this thread popped up. I was wondering the same thing on package contents. Thanks a bunch!

Can I assume that the different mounts (Nikon for me) will be available when shipment begins?

And can I say how amazed and thrilled I am that the people behind this camera system are taking to the time to answer all of our questions and to listen to feedback. I think this is great!

okey doke. thanks Rob.

just planning on where to spend the cake.

It has been said before and I think it bears repeating - even if all you got for your $17,500 was the body it would still be an un-frakkin-believable deal.

Cool your jets folks and pretty soon it will all be clear.

dude, it's a question. nothing to chill about.

jets are fully cooled.

since when did asking a simple question - not asked before - mean criticism ?

geez, i'm not as sensitive as some folks round these parts. :)

have a great one, dude.
 
Cool, I'm cool

If my post seemed peevish it was certainly not meant to be and was not aimed at you Appleton. I was just trying to insert some perspective into the discussion that I thought had gotten lost. This camera system is still in development after all and Graeme has specifically said that until the code is farther along it is impossible to know what RedCine render times might be on any computer.

The current company line is that in March they will release a more complete description of where the process is at and what we can expect. That seemed reasonable to me and I said so.

At the risk of causing more trouble I am also sanguine about how soon the RedOne will ship. If it takes until fall I would still consider it a tremendous feat. The difficulty factor of what the Red Team is doing is astronomical. Most companies wouldn't even whisper about a product like this until it was much farther along.

Although no one knows what the eventual shipping schedule will actually be, I wasn't "expecting" to receive my RED #001148 until Q4 2007, maybe even Q1 2008. I have a short feature script almost completed--I don't know if I should start shooting it with my Sony DSR450 [full-sized, 2/3" 16:9 SD 24P DVCAM], or just wait until my RED ships.
