Red Scarlet Announcement Info

I'm assuming the 4k, 3k, 2k, 1k modes are sensor crops?

Great price, time to see if they can deliver... this baby will be popular!
 
No mention of lcd or evf which might make it seem like 14k is what you'll end up paying. Just like $17500 turned to $26000
 
Nice. I predicted $10k and 4k, but I was only expecting 2/3". Well done Red!
Wanna talk about predictions? Allow me to gloat for a bit:

I fully agree that there is still a place for 2/3", but the problem is Red has built it's brand around out specing the other guy. If Canon has indeed caught up & will be offering large sensor 4k for sub $20K then I can't see Red putting a 2/3 incher out there due to their bravado & pride.

I'll go one step further & speculate that the fixed lens Scarlet is no longer. I have nothing to base that on other than the problems they were having sourcing parts after the tsunami. I keep thinking there will be one $12Kish scarlet brain with a mount that will accept Red branded interchangeable lenses that act like traditional ENG video lenses (the idea behind the fixed Scarlet anyway) and will also adapt to cinema/still lenses.

I think that after the success of Epic that Red is less inclined to play in the sub $10K market. I'd love to be wrong & 3K for $3K to be alive and kicking but I just don't see it.
