HVX200? Pah! I want one of these! (RED HD CAMERA)

Luis Caffesse said:
Word is that Ray Ban is also working on their own HD camera, code named the 'BluBlocker.' Apparently it shoots over 100fps and has built in UV and ND filters.
They say it'll make the RED look like the fischer price pixelcam.

yeah Luis.. your right, and they even have a hi-def video showing the new BluBlocker camera in action.

Check out the latitude:

Yeah, those pictures were taken with a Canon Mark 2. If you open the image on Photoshop, and look at the Metadata, you'll see all the information about the image (when it was taken, the time, and the camera used).

It's very clear at the top of the page, no big secret there:
"Please note that the footage below was not shot with the Mysterium sensor."

And again at the bottom:
"The above frames are to be judged for size comparisons only."


People keep mentioning that the pictures were taken with the Canon Mark 2, as if that means something.
Like it says on the site, the pictures are only there to show you relative frame sizes.
What camera took those pictures seems irrelevant.

I suppose people might get confused and think that those pictures were taken with the RED,
but it clearly states at the top of the page that that is not the case.
 
New? We go way back.
:beer:


Am I being a bit too supportive Terry?
I guess I'm just getting swept up in the Howard Hughes-like vibe of it all.
It's like the 'Spruce Goose' for the little guy.
:grin:
 
No, Luis... you keep on keepin' on. I dig your enthusiasm. :thumbsup:

We're all excited about the potential of this camera. :)

I seriously DOUBT this camera is gonna be in the same price range as the HVX200. This is gonna be a big boy toy.

I agree with you on the basis that no, the red camera will probably not be the same EXACT price as the HVX but I am fairly confident that the price WILL be resonable - why else would they aspire to do this if the price will be cost prohibitive? - There are already cameras out there that have some or most of the propsosed functions of the Red Cam - the problem is affordibility. And that's what I think the good people at Red (ie Jim) are aspiring to do - make an affordable wonder cam.
 
While it's hard to see this cam being affordable for most, we also aren't seeing overt cautionary talk (pricewise) from Mr Jannard. He's clearly making an enthusiast's camera - his appearance on these forums speaks clearly enough to that. The sense I'm getting is that although it won't be cheap, this is the market he's targeting. I'm also thinking it's time to start saving...
 
I agree. Poorly designed site, not very professional information or anything. Have anyone actually spoken to this company and had at least one of their plans comfirmed?
 
I was putting through the threads and came across this one... OMG. Never judge a product by the website alone... Just read through from the beginning for some good laughs.

Absolutely hillarious! Everyone (myself included) thought it a hoax at first. Then we moved on to "it'll cost well into six figures". If we had only known then what we know now... Let alone what they'll announce at IBC!

I love that we're part of the revolution! Thanks team RED!
 
Yep I remember posting this thread nearly a year ago to howls of derission. How times have changed, and in a remarkably short period of time. A year ago nobody had heard of Red. Now its the hottest topic out there( relatively speaking) and the buzz will just get louder and louder, especially from next week when the world will see the first ever images from Red at IBC.

I am seriously contemplating jumping on a plane and hopping over to Amsterdam for a couple of days to catch this event. A cheap flight and hotel, plus rather interesting nightlife as well as seeing the footage has to be worth it.

OK Ryanair here I come!
 
Steve, don´t even think about hotel in amsterdam. I have tryed for a week now and Amsterdam is sold out because of IBC. Book a room for next year!

But good luck anyway. I´ll be sleeping in my car! Need to see some 4k, at any cost.
 
There are still *some* (few) hostel beds available in Amsterdam.

I was able to get soemthing (hopefully) decent 48 hours ago.

Hotels are a lost hope.
