What exactly is included in the $ 17,500.00 reservation offer (onboard LCD, battery, ...)? Thanks in advance.
 
i think it includes only the body...
but i would love to be wrong
 
The purchase price includes the following:

Camera Body with P/L lens mount
Mysterium Sensor and electronics
Flip out hi-res LCD (not a viewfinder)
Dual link HD-SDI
HDMI / DVI monitoring / Electronic Viewfinder output
XLR audio
Dual SD card slots (plug a 802.11 wireless transceiver in one if you wish)
USB communication port
Battery and Charger
REDCODE software license

Options are:

Digital Magazine with Quad I/O (i.e RED-DRIVE or REDFLASH)
Lenses (RED or existing P/L mount lenses )
Other lens mounts such as Nikon, B4
RED-CAGE, RED-GUN etc
Electronic Viewfinder (VF)
External recorders (such as RED-RAID or RED-RAM)
 
flash memory i hope...
not a photo flash (terrible this one, terrible)

now. a serious question. this onboard flash is for system use or for image acquisition?

Many of us were originally under the impression that some capacity of flash memory would come with the camera standard, but at this particular point in time, I don't believe that's the case. I think this assumption was due to the term "onboard" that was used quite a bit during the early development of the camera, and many (myself included) took "onboard" to mean a physically integrated part of the camera. We discussed this awhile back and understand that "onboard," as far as the Red team is referencing it, means that it's something you can attach to and use with the camera in a handheld setting. This is also probably a carryover from the time when the REDFLASH and RED-DRIVE actually mounted into the camera itself (like the P2 cards do). Because of space restrictions, these magazines were eventually moved outside of the camera body, but the "onboard" term still stuck.

You can use RED-FLASH (the "onboard flash" memory you're asking about) for image acquistion just like the RED-DRIVE. The RED-DRIVE has been given more focus lately as it will likely be the most cost-effective and highest capacity solution for RED ONE shooters right out of the gate, but REDFLASH is still in development. I am sure someone from the Red team will post more as the release comes closer.
 
Sorry, but... we must wait:

1. What comes in the RED ONE box
2. Names, part numbers and prices of all accessories

This, of course, is subject to change at any time... :-)

Actually Haakon, Rob Lohman answered about the "onboard" question recently :
The raw optical port module & flash module use the same area of the camera.
They use a different system underneath.

The Flash will be mounted "on" the camera where the optical port would go - integrated. I suspect that it will be a choice that rez dudes make before shipment - either the Flash or the optical drive. Prices may differ, or the Flash may be standard. Who knows ?

What kind of cards or price ? don't know, we'll find out later...

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. :)

Right, that's how I've interpreted it, too. However, this flash "module" is removable, and originally (as in, months ago) I was under the impression that the camera would have built-in (nonremovable) flash as a part of the body, separate from the removable REDFLASH unit(s). A lot of the discussion was centered around being able to take the RED ONE out of the box and shoot with it without having to have any kind of external magazine, albeit in limited quantity. The current incarnation of REDFLASH that we have been privy to looks as you have described: a removable side panel that is attached to the body externally. I'm not sure I would call that any more "integrated" than the RED-DRIVE, but that's just symantics. I would be pleased as punch if the Flash module came standard, but we likely won't know that information until March.

Maybe it's easier to ask RED directly :

Currently, RED team

- Is the Flash unit removable or not ?

Thanx ...
 
The flash cards are removable and so is the whole RED Flash unit.
