RED review by wildlife cameraman

[Steve Phillipps]

These guys sure are glad I showed them at their best on my Red Mysterium-X

WOW! Incredible-looking grabs!
Having said that I don't think anyone's in much doubt about the image quality the R1 is capable of.

Lauri, I'm not sure what you say is true, I know Mark uses all sorts of different stuff including Photron and Phantom which are just as techie as the Red.

Steve, have no reason take sides on Mark's view. All I wanted to say, there are different conclusions on the very same findings.

tell about the lens used on the deer and the frog ? Amazing look indeed...

... here's a sample of what I meant. My colleague who assists me took this with Red One (lens: Canon EF 800mm f5.6) after a minimal training of how to use the camera.

I guess. Especially when using such a big lens, in such lighting conditions and contrast and hardly any real formal training at all !

BTW ? just asking..

Still photographers used to shooting raw formats would probably pick up on RED operation quicker than a typical videographer.

Wow Paul, love those shots, will see you soon in Japan, my return there is long overdue, and as soon as I get my new MF system, will come do some shoots.

Yes--that was my experience. A good friend of mine is a very experienced pro still photographer shooting on Canon. He picked up RED extremely quickly -- his deep understanding of RAW being the key thing.

Yea that makes sense. I don't really think that the RED is that hard of a camera to use. The "Menu" isn't that deep, right? Dealing with the footy in post is a different animal but in the field it seems to be fairly simple.

By the way Great Shots!!

Yes, I think so also. Furthermore, the exposure metering is very helpful in shooting to the right while not clipping highlights. Here's another example. (Dennis, this one is wide angle.)

The deer was shot with the Canon EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens, stopped down to T4 I think with ND0.9 in front.

The frog was shot with the EF-S17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM, wide open with C-PL filter in front. That frog shot is actually a frame from a handheld dolly move, it's a bit wobbly but is going to stabilise beautifully in post and look really cool

Cheers!
