  • 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 :)

Scarletuser.com

yeah me too, when he first sent it up, I scoffed at it, but the more I think of every Car ad I've ever shot, the time I would have saved per day if I had a camera like this that I could stick into little holes and put onto crazy rigs without the need of ripping off steering wheels and pulling seats and windows out, just to get a simple shot.
I'm so so hoping its at least 2k res, Ill be buying a box of them without blinking an eye.
 
I wonder....
Young designer downstairs recons this is it.
As you can see he's a RED nut....Then again, so am I.

Nice...now just replace the attached lens with a Nikon F mount and we're in business!
 
A lot of times I question the intelligence of some forum members. Go to: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7200 , brooke summarized the facts and I remember Jim Jannard saying a couple of times that the camera is going to be a "professional" one, not consumer, not prosumer but clearly "professional". And still people are presuming that it's going to be a prosumer cam.

But what is professional? Many people have a different concept to what they consider prosumer and what they consider pro. An example this is a list of Pro Cameras on B&H website

With Scarlet it will most likely offer RED RAW which means understanding how to colour grade a shot will be important and having to use Red cine or Red alert alone will make Scarlet a pro camera.

Secret definitely busted with Mr. Finner's finding, Scarlet is without doubt a 2K procam to compete with the SI-2K range of cameras. And... we're already excited about that, and by the way, can we know the price already?.
 
maybe scarlet is a 2k camera for 2k dollars :greedy:
 
A 2k camera, with a sensor of the same physical dimensions as a 35mm frame, would offer MORE or LESS dynamic range and/or low-light capability versus a 4k sensor of the same dimensions?

Well a 2K sensor would be more sensitive to light, having bigger photosites, which would help - but it's not the only ingredient of dynamic range.
 
Jim has already made it fairly explicit that Scarlet will not compete with the Red One in form or features. This almost certainly rules out the possibility of the camera being a self-contained unit - when I first heard about the camera I assumed it would have to be digital s16mm camera (something that does for 16mm equivalent digital capture, what Red One does for s35mm equivalent digital capture), but the more snippets I hear the more convinced I am that Scarlet won't possess anything like a convential video camera form.

So I for one will be very suprised if the camera doesn't turn out to be something akin to the Iconix camera (i.e. modular, pocketable) and not at all what I wished for - the digital Aaton Aminima of my dreams...

*sigh*

Grug, perhaps it could be the digital Ikonoskop A-CAM of your dreams. Not so good dreams, but not bad.
