That's why I don't care what whomever tests say, only that the red team is tweaking the sensor for optimum performance. So you guys do your testing and let the red team do thier's to max out this little red jewel. I just want to get my hands on mine and make some movies.
 
To the Red crew: good luck with spike. Waiting for the 'download footage' link that comes out of these tests. Actually I reckon you guys - my handle says it all - I totally don't get the specifics of your tests, but the fact that your passionate enoug to post em... I am predicting theres no release till YOU are happy with these tests you are doing. And that's fine by me.

I just want an F off camera that is cheaper than 35mm

what are the costs per minute in terms of storage now compared to film stock?

Is Kodak nervous?

Doesn't Kodak make most of its money on film for the distribution side of things? (Not acquisition.) Accoding to John Pytlak (he works for Kodak), Kodak's sales have been increasing. Some companies like Technicolor have also opened new facilities for film processing.

That being said, Kodak's business will eventually dry up. Film will likely be eventually replaced by digital acquisition and projection. (Then again, weren't people saying this a few decades ago?)

Hi,

FWIW the patent for the Bayer sensor belongs to Kodak, as they developed it some 25 years ago.

Film is dead has been a headline for over 50 years now, it's nothing new.

"Accoding to John Pytlak (he works for Kodak), Kodak's sales have been increasing"

kodak is a public company .. you can read their quarterly and yearly finacial reports online that they file with SEC ... when i read them last spring the reports did not support "film sales" as increasing ( still film or movie film ) .. don't remember if "kodak sales " did increase" ( kodak makes many products which could be their overall sales covering all products have increased )
 
The primary reason for digital replacing film in still cameras was the ability for sensors to provide a better image at acceptable frame rates. 12MP at 4fps works for stills. The trick is getting 12MP at 24fps (or better yet- 60fps) for motion. My bet is that film sales for motion pictures won't suffer until there is a quality digital alternative. Up to now there hasn't been.

Not to mention the magical RED CODE compression that makes the data more manageable.
 
What I don't understand is how Jim and Graeme can respond to so many posts and so many forums and still get a camera made. It takes up 90% of what little free time I have just to read the damn things, never mind actually responding to them in an articulate way. Thank you very much guys. Do you sleep? Have you cloned yourselves?
 
I don't know how we do it either :)

The important thing is though, that when you're enjoying what you're doing, you find yourself spending more and more time on the project.
