Stills and Clips

Nope. I have seen the Oakley Watch. Looks good.
But I can´t judge DoF and skin tones characteristics from a macro of a watch.
I would like to see the clips RED showed at IBC of people and Jim´s extremely cool 959.
There is a shot of a person lighting a cigar I am told. It would tell a lot to see how the camera handles footage of fire.

I understand that a H.264 clip at 1080P is not the same thing as the original 4K (4.5K) in full glory, but it would give us a hint of what to expect (and not expect).

I thought the footage on utube of the presentation at ibc was incredibly telling. I don't really feel a pressing need for higher res files to convince me. I just want the camera in my hands !

The footage on YouTube is so compressed and at such a low resolution that it was of zero use in image evaluation. It was nice that it got up there for those of us who were unable to see the presentation in person and is appreciated- but even when we get downloaded samples straight from Red it will only be a loose approximation when seen on my recently calibrated Dell 24” LCD. I will have to trust Jim and Graeme for all the quality that is outside the gamut of my non-pro monitor. Mike Curtis will be putting it through the wringer when he gets his hands on it and since he is making his living as a consultant it would behoove him be as objective as possible when he does.

I’m gonna have to go all Zen on the situation and wait patiently for the stills and footage so that- to hell with it, gimme gimme gimme!
 
I disagree, I see so much footage like this (meaning on line) that I could instanly tell red quality was for real. Can you analyze it at 200% and look for artifacts ? of course not; the point is that the quality is obvious even with video shot off a screen and compressed for web.

I’m just saying that what we were seeing on YouTube was actually less than 1% of the projected resolution... and then you have to take into account that the colour space was minuscule in comparison and the compression was several times higher than anything that would come out of the Red One. I figure that a nice clean image from a DVX100 probably wouldn’t have looked any worse under those conditions.
 
I just don't see it that way..literally. It was whatever percentage ( you want to assign to it ) lower than actual resolution, my point is that relatively speaking (from seeing tons of footage on line from all different sources and compressions) you can see the quality is there. Dvx100 footage presented the same way would absolutely look different.
