  • 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 :)

Sensors...

Besides the hardcore specs of Dragon I'm very curious about how the upgrade program will work. I understand Epic M owners take priority, but we are potentially looking at thousands of cameras to upgrade in the Epic M, X, and Scarlet camps. That's going to be a good amount of work to churn out those upgrades.
 
We have gotten through thousands of upgrades from M to MX. It may take time... but we can do it.

Sounds like Arri and Sony are about to get taken to the woodshed.

Epic M 144 is ready for Dragon any time Jim. :cheers2:

Can't wait for this upgrade... exactly for that reason. albeit I guess they'll still make a few comments about color rendition. Dragon plus even more advancements in the color science area is gonna kill it. Heck with 16 stops of native latitude... I doubt anyone is going to complain.
 
Every camera company is going to be "taken to the woodshed". And if they respond... we will step it up from there.

I strongly appreciate the roy batty quote.

Very throughly awaiting the dragon. Its why i got a hold of an epic to begin with.

Thank you for the effort.

The incredible thing is that the Dragon sensor is an upgrade. You don't have to buy a new camera to get the advantages of the Dragon sensor. You just need to own an EPIC or Scarlet.

Just to put things in perspective (we tend to forget this kind of things and take it for granted), a few months ago the only planned upgrade path for DSMC was to buy a new brain at full price... its 's so great the dragon finally comes as an upgrade !
 
Most companies would relish the opportunity to leverage a monumental sensor into a new camera model. We don't.

I can only hope that our customers fully realize what this means...

We do, and we couldn't be more appreciative! Gone are the days when a major investement is only good for 18 months and from then on you either have second best or reinvest! Just shows once again that you aren't about greed, just out to change the world. Suits us just fine!

I know I do. It's why I chose Red. It's why I knew I could buy a Scarlet and NEVER get buyer's remorse.

This is coming from a guy that GLADLY paid full price for an Epic-X, non-staged, just two weeks after the price change kicked in (January)... and I still feel like I'm getting every dime worth.

If it was any other way, I wouldn't be a RED customer and wouldn't be working on 2/3'rds of the projects I am today. Rest assured, I fully appreciate what this means.

@ Jim,

Actually I never looked at it like that.......from a business perspective this is huge. In Australia we call this "putting your money where mouth is" A clear market difference between other competitors. Congrats!

This is the reason I didn't think twice about buying a RED and why I haven't had even a tinge of "buyer's remorse".
