What would be the main differences between the RED One and Scarlet S35? The only thing I'm seeing is the Redcode and the sensor size (which with filtering should take 5k down to 4k.).
 
5k sensor, higher data rate, modular design

If that's it, then I'm still going with the RED One, maybe with the 'X' sensor upgrade (which should increase the data rate, no? And possible the sensor size, if I'm not mistaken).

What would be nice is a "RED Two" with the Mysterium-X sensor already in it for the price of the RED One + Sensor upgrade.

this is what I'm not sure about. It was my understanding that a sensor upgrade would not increase data rate. And in fact that RED ONE's current sensor isn't using it's full potential because of data rate limitations. This seems like the biggest advantage to the new Scarlet (and at half the price)

The main difference is that the RED-ONE is available right now. In my opinion, many here have forgotten this hugely important fact.

Very True. Also, I'm assuming Scarlet and Epic won't be open for NEW orders until 2010-2011, because of current Red One owners getting first take.
 
i really don't understand that argument. Yes, a $7,000 Scarlet will probably end up costing $15,000 to shoot, but my $17,000 RED ONE cost me about $30,000 to shoot.

$15,000 is still half of $30,000

I'm talking $15k, with no batteries, no lenses, no recording device, ect.; just modules. So you'll end up spending 15,000 in the Scarlet body and Modules.

Just so you know, Andrew, I wasn't referring to you in that post. It was aimed at the people worrying about their current cameras being rendered obsolete by Scarlet & Epic.

I agree, it's going to be a long while before the RED-ONE is not considered top-shelf.

I seriously doubt that adding an I/O module, controller module, CF card module and lens mount module (to make it equal to the RED-ONE without "accessories") would add another $8,000 to the price.

I think it's fair to say that the 5K S35 Scarlet brain plus the necessary modules will add up to somewhere around $10,000. That's still much cheaper than the RED-ONE body.
 
This was just posted by Jim:

The "electronic engines" are different between each of these camera models. That means there are format capability differences. For example, the RED ONE has 4K, 3K, 2K, 1080P (soon) and anamorphic format options. It does ramping, time-lapse, has 4 channel 24-bit audio, etc. Scarlet will NOT have the full flexibility of a RED ONE. EPIC has more capability and flexibility than the other two. It is one of the reasons that the Scarlet body is smaller than an EPIC.

Just so you can figure that into your planning.

Scarlet will have limited format options.

RED ONE has many format options.

EPIC has virtually unlimited format options.
 
Looks like Jim and I are doing the same thing.

Except he has that fancy Avatar that makes his post more official.
