DSLR Video V. Red Scarlet

And forget about better DSLR video options.. what's stopping a camera manufacture from putting a large image sensor into a camcorder body? Can we say HV50 on steroids?

I am sure thats in the manufacturers agenda. Especially Nikon, since they don't have a video program as of yet.
 
the beauty about the whole SLR concept are the lenses. its all about the lenses guys! buy them to make a rock solid investment, buy a new DSLR body or camcorder body every couple of years and you're gonna be just okay..
 
Are we actually debating weather a DSLR with a nifty, if extremely limited 30p 1080p, video feature is BETTER than the 4K interchangable mount, RAW shooting, infinetly modular RED one?

Please pass the joint around beacause I want some of what you people are smoking. Let's say that the Canons image matched the RED's resolution for resolution (it doesn't). Let's imagine that the image was as editable and correctable as the RAW filed form the RED (it isn't even close). Even if all those things were equal (they aren't) you still would have to contend with recording time limitations, DSLR handling limitations, manual control limitation, accessory limitations, workflow limitations.

Even if all other things were equal, those things would STILL be a dealbreaker from a professionals point of view.

And they aren't equal. Not by a longshot.

And I'll give RED the benefit of the doubt regarding SCARLET.

RED was vaporware for a long time. Until it finally came. It wasn't perfect, but it's much more than many had hopes. I belive SCARLET will be the same.
 
I'm not going to pretend that any of these cameras are better then the RED ONE as far as image quality. But from my point of view, I can actually afford one of these DSLR's and I can shoot a film with one of them using various lenses, great low light, shallow depth of field and progressive frame rate.
I'll never be able to afford a RED ONE and honestly the scarlet doesn't interest me. 3K footage and it's editing work flow doesn't excite me, small image sensors don't excite me. The only thing that really does is the frame rate, but I'd trade that for interchangeable lenses, 35mm depth of field and a $1000 price any day of the week.
 
Now thats a point of view I can agree with.

Take the thing for what it is and use it accordingly. Don't paint your mazda red and call it a ferrari. Thats all Im saying.
