RED NAB NEWS THREAD: Scarlet pics are up

Wow. 180fps bursts? wow. that alone would have sold me, BUT, a 8x lens? Count me out. Unless someone comes up with a quadrupler for that, I am not touching it. Even if it is 3k at 3k. But the epic does look pretty sexual, altho if its just One with 5k then... whats the point? What theater is screneing 5k?

Defenetly made me slip a little in my "film is the best, you cant beat it" theroy.

I would love to know what you set-up is. Maybe another thread...

I won't hijack this thread. I'm more interested in NAB news. But short (and final) answer: camera body; base production pack, Red LCD, Red RAID drive+CF module; Nikon mount. Add Nikon lenses to taste (anywere from $90 for a lens to $5000...but don't for a second think that you CAN'T make a movie on Red with a few sub-$400 Nikon primes). I have other production equipment that I have used with other cameras. And a house to put it in. I don't include those costs in the cost of my working Red Camera, just like I don't add lens tissues to the cost of my EX1.
 
I think some people out there might be disappointed with Scarlet for pro work, but if a DP needs a nice camera for home videos... :)
 
Scarlet has me psyched...now I'm going to be torn between panasonic's new offerings and this. But if Scarlet really is under $3000...good lord, I'm in.

Hey, I've used an HV20 for "pro work." I won't be disappointed! :-)

Well, again, it depends on the DP you know. 35mm DPs who are trying to switch to digital are game for Epic. I'm working with Andromeda because it gives me what I value, and I'm wondering how it will stack up image wise to Scarlet... I think I'll still be good to go in the dynamic range and color fidelity department. I'm only 1K though, but still man, 10 bit RGB uncompressed. I really wonder what Redcode will do to the data coming out of that sensor, its USABLE dynamic range, etc... If you ever get to work with Andromeda in 16 bit tiff form, you'll be pretty hooked on the sheer quality of it.

But I digress. It depends on where your coming from. For me, it might be a step down in some departments, but a step up in others. So its complex for me. For HV20 shooters, it's a solid step up. For Dalsa shooters, big step down, etc...
 
Fully minimum functional Red One cam

17,500(red one) + 1250 (prod pack) + 400 (2x cf card) + 500 (nikon mount) + 500 (cf module) + 1750 (LCD) + $900 (2x V mount batt + charger)

= $ 22,800
 
Will there be a market for cheaper refurbished Red One bodies?

$17.5K new, thats what, about $14-15K refurb/used straight from Red?

Please let this come to pass.....
 
Pardon my inexperience, but based on available information, would Scarlet have at least 4:2:2 colour sampling?

If so, seems like a pretty sweet camera for those keying shots
 
I think Scarlet would make a nice greenscreen camera. You don't need interchangeable lens, and you don't need audio.

hmmmm.... as far as I can see, there is no kind of display on the body at all.

Maybe the settings are so simple that you don´t need a menue, but if there is a menue I wonder if you have to get a monitor or if it is in the package?

That isn't a working package. You guys really need to put your hands on the camera to decide what a working packages is.

You'd get stuck dead in the water with that package.

Minimal is honest-to-goodness 25k - 27k
 
Just woke up - went over to red forums .... came over here.

Kinda v disappointed in no lens options, but not surprised.
It'll be a great cam - this will be some kids' first camera, lol.
Staggering ...
 
Wow. 14 Pages. They both look like sweet cameras. I doubt RED would produce the Scarlet similarly to the RED ONE, if they are going to sell them for $3000, they are going to need to start factory lining them.. Mass production.
 
whats missing in that package Kholi ??? most of us dont have the luxury of playing with the RED ONE in real life. please ....
