Remember the attitude towards latitude!

[Alexander Nikishin]

I am more than happy with everything that is being promised and that has been shown in regards to the Red One.

Yet the one thing that worries me is the loss of MY holy grail spec. The one which I along with most others view as the most important of all. The almighty 11+ stops of latitude!

Please keep this feature at the forefront of the Red teams promised specs.

Not sure I'm clear on that- is there a new official latitude spec out that is less than 11 stops? And how is that measured exactly? There are different ways to do it.

Our latitude numbers won't slip... the Mysterium® sensor is what it is. We still have a lot to do, but re-working the sensor is NOT one of them.

I Love 11+ just brings you back to the orange power cord on the porsche shot..

Great to hear Jim.

This thread is just a bit of positive re-enforcement for my mind and eyeballs. :nerd:

 

[Rick Darge]

I was told by a Sony Rep that the Mysterium was 5 steps, no?

I was lied too, no?


My pants are on fire, no?

 

[Brook Willard]

That Sony rep actually had legitimate, unreleased inside information on RED. Yes, it's actually only 5 stops. You really should buy their cameras instead.

and remember... that was right out of the gate.... wait till you see what half a year in REDTIME does.

Oh...a new REDterm :biggrin:

RedTime's a trademark Omen, so is RedTerm, stop using it without permission

For Jim, Jarred and co, have you had a play with the camera in low light conditions in recent times then? And what are your impressions on noise in the blacks/dark areas now? I seem to recall in the early days a few images beaten to death in photoshop to reveal some noise, I dare say Graham has done alot to remedy this.

Alexander i think we are all waiting to see what the red one will be like with latitude and as Paul says low light in partcular.

I note Jim didn't say it had 11 stops, just that it is what it is?:biggrin:


I hope that "is what it is" is comparable to the "other big named cameras" :wink:


Jarrad i would much prefer the junior status for the time being, my posts are just learning posts!

 

[Brook Willard]

The last semi-official number was 11.3 stops.

Mike, you're "senior" because you crossed the magic threshold in # of posts (I'm guessing).

It would be great to get a RED test shot of a candel light scene much like the Arri Zeiss master prime poster..

Low light is a major concern for me and I'm hoping RED will work much like a DSLR which you can change the ISO settings for various lighting conditions.

That reminds me, way back when.... Jim had a shot (still) of himself lit with candlelight, I thought that looked really cool.

Hi Brook,

Hopefully that image will be released. If not anybody with a camera can duplicate that test themselves.

Here's the candle shot. Keep in mind that this was shot on Frankie long before she was even remotely fine tuned. A lot has changed since this picture was posted.

I've always assumed there was some HMI fill here. Candles rarely glow blue.

 

[damonbots]

Does Jim have a cigar surgically attached to his lips? I think I've seen one picture of him without a cigar but I'm pretty sure the cigar was photoshopped out.

Yes i know. But my posts are not very helpful to the vast majority of forumites, unless like me, you know so little:sad:

If the red one can go up to eleven stops in a controlled test with the "other cameras" that will be a major shock to those who are less than ecstatic.

This may have changed... remember, this was calculated from Frankie.
