Batter up: 5D MII vs RED

[f64manray]

There are differences for sure. Apart @ post, the main or substancial difference is resolution on wide shots. The Richard Darge test is a good example. Beyond that, you practically can get the same level of outcome. For a fraction of the price and (until Scarlet) weight.

If there is this little difference between Red One and the 5DII, and I need a awsome huge TV to even see it (as mentioned above), it makes me wonder if the Scarlett will be able to find a place in the market place at it's $9,750 price point just for the FF35 Scarlet brain. $7,250 is a hefty premium to pay just to work in the raw codec from Red, especially since great images already come out of the 5DII and can be graded nicely in FCP or FCE. The budget conscious indie film maker that these two cameras would appeal to might find the 5DII with full Zacuto setup, a nice set of Cool lights and a top of the line Imac a more appealing proposition than just the Scarlet brain for the same price.
