fxguide why are you a commercial mouthpiece for Red?

Who cares about an announcement for something that is most likely take the better part of a year (or even years) from existing???? Let alone working. Hello, how many people still have a Red One that turns itself off unexpectedly 7 or 8 times a shooting day? Rolling shutter ugliness? Dropping frames while shooting handheld. The Red One is a crap camera.

I don’t know why anyone thinks that just because there are impressive specs that these cameras will be any different. A $500 Canon HDV camera has better dynamic range.

28k to do a good a lense focus point can be more hard!!
Maybe 28k on baselight are already support? only 7 x 4k image is not as much.

I’ve been waiting on a digital camera that would make the Imax camera obsolete. Looking forward to getting my hands on some 8K plus Redcode for color grading.

So from somewhere around $3,000US or less on up you have the ability to do everything from web shows to IMAX(+) stuff. The camera or budget is no longer the limiting factor. I have been trying to think of something that RED can’t do at a higher resolution and MUCH lower price than what’s available.

Clearly 28k is going to be for those hugely cinematic features and documentaries. No you probably won’t edit it on laptop but the prospect of this wasn’t around yesterday.

This is rich stuff. They even have autofocus available on the Full Frame “brains”.

The 28K 617 will be mostly used for stills… however people really need use their imagination once in a while. 28K means motion picture digital backlots or, 100+ HD displays cropped from one source or………….

I was hoping for a camera body that would do 2K or more at at least 90 fps with a still camera lens mount and shallow depth-of-field-look, and at least same stills resolution that my Canon 30D has. I guess I’ll have to wait another couple of years…

Alright, I just went to red.com and I must I am impressed and excited. This looks awesome. I just hope they can deliver what they plan on. Is it possible that I may even be able to afford a 3K Scarlet? Cool!!!
