btw/there's a mount for NIKON and CANON Lens
I'm sure by NAB it'll be available to the masses.

we'll be trading in our Red One for the Epic-X, but i definitely want my own FF35 Scarlet.

[ichiban]

^ is that the red one or scarlet in black? That thing looks amazing.

[rodi]

that's a rendering of an Epic/Scarlet configuration. probably Scarlet since the brain module looks too thin to be an Epic.

this is what the Red One looks like (at least ours does with our accessories):

[anthony @ eas]

Can someone explain to me what I'm looking at? Looks like one of the coolest things ever made.

[rodi]

you're looking at a modular digital still and motion camera. everything is a la carte. everything is compatible with everything in the system.
you buy a brain [sensor] module. you buy a recording module, battery, viewing, remote, audio, output modules, lens mounts, accessories and put them all together anyway you need to, as you need to.
the brain/sensor modules range from small 2/3" sizes to 36x24mm sizes to medium format 4x6cm and super large 17cm sizes. resolutions from 3K to 9K and 28K for the panarama sensor. and super high-speed frame rates up to 350fps in full HD.

and they'll eat you.

[ichiban]

350fps! .. slow motion shots eh. umm, so it's kinda like bmw, everything's in packages and options. must cost a butt load once you start adding stuff on it.

[rodi]

haha. pretty much.
but the 350fps is for the big one. expect to pay $40K+ for the brain alone.

some of the scarlet's will pull 120fps at 2K, though.

trade
+10-20K
jealous...


RED is like a heavy armor'd camera - it's like a modern stealthy gun.

[TwinTurboXI]

So how much is that one with all the accessories? like 65k?

[ichiban]

m3 ... or scarlet .. m3 or scarlet. -__-

M3 or Epic, is more like it.

the fixed zoom-lens scarlet (max 72fps and 3K resolution on 2/3" sensor), should be about $4000, without extra accessories.
they took the initial pricing down, but it ranged from $4k, $7k, $12k, to $25k, $35k up to $65k. there's a brain for everybody. ;]

we'll see what their "schedule" tells when it's announced tomorrow.

the trade-up is a credit of every dollar you spent on the Red One, plus the difference of about $10k for the Epic-X including all needed accessories. which is a sweet deal.

[rodi]

announcement.

you can get a fixed-lens Scarlet (with its Zoom lens) with the kit to make it all work, for about $9k-$10k. but this is a 2/3" sensor (Panasonic HVX?), not full-size motion-35mm size (movie film), and not full-frame still-35mm size (D3, 5Dmk2).



however, you get unsurpassed-image quality in motion-RAW format.

The image circle of the HVX is 1/3" Ths scarlet 2/3's sensor is more like a Varicam which is still less than half that of the Red One.

I hate that progress on the Scarlet and Epic are so slow. I put a deposit down on Red One a couple of years ago and while waiting red announced the Scarlet. So I figured I would wait for the Scarlet S35 or FF..and I waited.

Then last year I picked up one of the first 5DmkII's and after using it on a few shoots, I made it my first pick for my productions. The only light my HPX-500 ever gets now is the occasional rental.

I am now wondering if Red will ever release the Scarlet. 2 years and not even a working prototype? Canon is now rumored to have a EOS sensor in a XL2 style body by the spring and if they do, I will certainly pick that up. I hear it might even shoot raw as well.

I really would like to have the Red Scarlett if it comes to life with the specs they are promising. The name alone would make my work easier considering now explaining to clients that I'm going to shoot their TV spot on a still camera.

was a little disappointed with the news Red had for OCT 30.
FAIL!

[rodi]

i told my self to forget bout the red for a second, then i get hype on it again.
then i have to forget bout it again.

i'm goin 7d til then.
might be a little step backwards if i get the scarlet.

btw rodi, thanks for the chart - that's very helpful.
have you have the news (ETA) on when you'll be get'n the EPIC/exhange program?
please say ur on that beta A list.

[rodi]

ha. fuck that. $28k to beta test? no thanks. although it would be cool to have Jim and Jarred's personal cell numbers.

we have camera #180, so once they start the "ready" notifications (by serial number), we'll be getting ours. we're thinking about doing "stage 2" - get the Epic-X and upgrading our R1 to the new sensor.
if they start shipping the beta's pretty soon, we may have ours by February? I dunno. Definitely not counting on it. Just waiting patiently. Our Red is serving us well enough.

[rodi]

that beta A list is for people like Soderbergh, Jackson, etc...
