Scarlet vs F23

[killfilm]

I think Jim Jannard once said that the fixed-lens 2/3" Scarlet was aimed at a larger consumer market -- the low price point is based on that.

So it's going to have to be fairly easy to use and handle the footage... or else it will become more of a camera for the Sony EX1 and Panasonic HVX200 crowd and not appeal to anyone below that.

I think it's going to have to be bundled with some sort of really simplified version of Red Alert or something, or some sort of automatic conversion software that kicks in when you plug the camera into a laptop with a simple editing software like iMovie. It's got to be made fairly idiot-proof.

Unless the whole idea behind the fixed-lens Scarlet has changed and it really is aimed at the prosumer crowd and higher, and not for general consumers.

it was quoted that Scarlet will be a professional camera, a "b" camera on movie sets and not a prosumer camera. so its definitely not a consumer camera.

Red's position, at least for the original Scarlet design, was that it was a professional camera -- meaning that it would be designed and built to professional standards -- that would appeal to both professionals and (well-heeled) consumers. Red probably can't sell tens of thousands of units to professionals only, particularly in this economic climate. It remains to be seen, however, whether there are still many soccer moms with sufficient discretionary income, especially given that Red raised fixed Scarlet's original price 25%.
