  • 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 :)

Scarlet (and shipping) announcement Nov. 3rd...

very exciting. thanks for the news
 
This is terrific news. I have been holding onto 29K in grant funds hoping that we'd have an actual purchase date sometime before next June... I'm hoping that I can price out the accessories between now and Nov. Aren't the accessories for the Epic also workable for the Scarlet? I'm hoping along with everyone else that the waiting list will not be tooooo long....

This will be interesting.
6pm the announcement. 7pm store doors open. Who knows, but it seems like it's gonna have to be a simple package. You like it, go for it. If you need to think about it, feel free to go to the back of a veeeery long line :-)

I don't see that at all... I'm pretty sure I've seen posts that make it clear Scarlet is a very different deal to anything RED have done before. Much higher volume. I'm sure I saw something to the effect that they wouldn't put it on sale until they had enough production available to meet the initial demand. 'no more backorders!' was to be the new approach.

I agree with Mike, I don't see it anywhere that Scarlet will ship, or orders that will take place on Nov3. Just that shipping date will be announced among all the other final specs. Jarred has indicated it will ship this year, but we'll find out the details to who and how many on the 3rd.

Things are rolling!! maybe over canon to on the 3rd! :)
 
Excuse my ignorance but whats the base price for the SCARLET?

Should be right around 6k as was stated numerous times via Ted. Still there seem to be a lot of speculators that want to spend 10k..
 
wow, 2 days shooting and everything is new again. huge!!
awesome news... reload times.

Well if they scrapped the Epic-S and bumped the Scarlet up to 4k then I guess I'm one of those that would gladly spend $10k...or even $12k for one!
 
is moving fast a long time ;)
 
Three years ago, when Scarlet was originally announced, 3K vs 4K sensor was considerably cheaper for Red. Perhaps not anymore.

Between outside confusion over Epic-S and X, the desire to establish Epic as truly above everything else (including S35 Scarlet), the desire to deliver an affordable product that everyone wants...

-and the fact that Epic-S disappeared from the roadmap but Jim declared, "trust me, you'll see the camera you want..."
-and, rough quote here, "sometimes we rush ahead," [Scarlet S35 has an Epic chassis!] "only to realize a better approach later" [Should've remained a Scarlet]
-and of course, "4K is the future, nothing less"...

with all that, especially Jim's "trust me," I can't see how Jarek could be wrong. Maybe I'm crazy, but to declare anything less than 4K hopelessly inferior only to mass-produce a 3K camera just doesn't sound like Red. Fixed will probably stick around, but as all the pros have pointed out, Epic-S makes more sense as Scarlet. For Red, for Epic owners, for everyone.

It would make me somewhat more hesitant personally. Price range of 6K or so is something i'd likely make back in a year or two as equipment rent (assuming maybe 200 € / day or a bit more for Scarlet - competitive enough to justify not using i.e. EX1 which goes for around 150 € / day here), and the amount of shoots where i'm the one making the decision about gear used (and where Scarlet would be the right choice)... 10 K would take 2-3 years. That's a notable difference. That kind of price increase might mean that i'd just rent Scarlet as needed, not buy one. So far, for the last 20 years or so, i've always rented gear on a case per case basis, i've never owned a pro camera.

...but i do WANT it, oh yes i do. Just not sure if buying one is the wisest business decision for me personally ;)

Ordering from the UK. Yes. More info on 03/11/2011 I gues.. :smile: . If you write the date in MDY it's funny... 11/3/11. Does this tell us something...

Erwin, Yes I did see that come out after.... bloody hell... I was hugging strangers in the street and shouting from rooftops. That news was worth getting arrested for!!!!!

Too bad, I'm shooting my new series in the Serengeti the week before... It would blow my mind to shot a million wildebeest, river crossing where the crocs eat them in 3k. Best news, is at least my next shoot after that will be shot on scarlet!

I'd prefer the 6K as well Kalani! I hope the price is close to the same, and close to the same camera as planned as it really fit the camera of my dreams but, I honestly am preparing to spend more.
