I downloaded all of TCs RED photos and uploaded them to an easy to use viewer on one of my currently unused websites. I will continue to add to it as more photos are made available.

I think that JVC, Sony, Panny.... will simply have to step up to the plate and release all that bad ass stuff they've been keeping in a vault.
They will certainly take a sharp jab in the ribs though.
Vive le RED!

Exactly. Red debuts in 2008. I guess we indie filmmakers are looking for something that is anti-establishment in the sense of pricing and no boundaries. But this Red camera is all talk. The thing that gets me is RED corp. talking for months and me watching banners of red this and red that and wait till NAB. yeah, nab is here and what do we get: MAYA renditions and CLAY models. Give me a freakin break.
AT least build a prototype that is capable of creating actual footage and putting your cards on the table for us to see.

true, but anyone who frequents this site will be slightly more educated on Red then the average broadcaster / filmmaker who'd be at NAB.
If NAB was the first time I ever heard or saw RED, I'd be impressed.
in the meantime, I'm not concentrating on the price of the Red to come down, I'm more interested in the price of P2 to come down :furious3:

Man there's alot of hearsay going on about this camera. More DVXUsers need to check the links that were posted earlier in this forum.
Go to RED.com and check out the pics for the RED ONE cage. The viewfinder is on display there.
And one of the coolest features about this camera that i think Issac Brody mentioned earlier is Mr. Jannard's declaration of modulation. He's stated that he doesn't want this to be the kind of camera where they come out with a new model every couple of years. This is the kind of camera that will last a DP decades because it can be upgraded and advanced.
It seems to me that Mr. Jannard is trying to foster a Mod community amongst filmmakers. Red will encourage people to come up with their own awesome accessories. Its a very exciting time for digital filmmaking.
Can't wait for some footage next fall and a working model at NAB 2007.
Also for the people talking about visiontech's phantom cameras. I wouldn't be surprised if the pricetag on that camera was more akin to the cost of a Varicam or Genesis.

Again, I i can't see how anyone could be dissappointed when RED corp has said for WEEKS, they will have a non working prototype on display and will announce the price at NAB. They came through through. I'm not sure why anyone could be upset about the info released

I just chacked again to make sure, and there is not a viewfinder in those pictures on the RED page. Please link to it if I just can't find it.
I read about providing your own viewfinder in the HDforindies article

Too true.
I think I'm starting to understand why alot of companies try to keep development a secret.
The flack Red is catching from certain people is ridiculous.
Here you go bud. Click on the middle picture under the main photo and you'll see a large picture of RED ONE from the back and it shows the Viewfinder.

People let their hopes run away with them. Clearly we all hoped RED would be further along then it is but Jim never said anything to lead us to believe that. It was our fault.
I think those of us trying to decide which camera to get in the lower end line and trying to way the relative strengths and weaknesses of each (it's frustrating as every comparison has said there is no true winner) were excited about something that would make our choice easier and blow away the competition.
That's clearly not the case and now we should have the guts to make a choice and stick with it since this thing probably won't be out untill 2008 anyway. Perhaps then we'll upgrade or perhaps the competition will have caught up. Who knows. Either way, it still looks like a fantastic piece of equipment that, when it comes out, will be well worth the wait.

That's an LCD display, the viewfinder is the shaft with the eye cup. I'll look for the article where they say they'll support third party viewfinders

If the final produc isn't red to a signifigant portion, I plan to sue Jim for false advertising.
