I'm a big fan of RED, but I don't think a 2/3 sensor is going to give you "huge background blur" depth-of-field, Eugenia. Sure, it's better than the 1/3 CCDs in the "pocket-sized" cameras out there today; it puts the image quality on par with the Panasonics/Canons/Sonys that are $4K-8K, i.e "pro" bigger cameras...but even those don't really have much DOF.
It really takes the 35mm-sized sensor and a lens to get the depth-of-field that you want and that rivals film. I just don't think a 2/3" sensor is going to cut it.
(That said, the scarlet still looks pretty amazing, spec-wise, if it is less than $3K and that small. (Though very hard to tell the ergonomics/size from the proto-design.) The 3K and the Red "raw" capture, etc. is all worth a lot in my book for quality imagery. I was just hoping it would target the 35mm-lens-adapter crowd and really give us the deep DOF. There'd have to be something more magical that a 2/3" sensor spec to do that, in my mind. The existing 2/3" pro cameras out there just don't come close without a lens adapter and a true 35mm lens.)
I'd have to beg to differ. I've seen a lot of footage shot on 2/3" CCDs and it *definately* makes a huge difference over the 1/3" chips that make up the consumer and prosumer markets. Yes, a 2/3" chip will not give you 35mm DOF, but it *will* give you almost exactly the same as 16mm, which I'm guessing is exactly the target market for this camera. I.e:
EPIC = IMAX
Red = S35
Scarlet = 16mm
Along with the accompanying userbases for each of those.
(Yes, I realize that the EPIC 5K sensor still does not have nearly the detail of 70mm film, but it's an interesting comparison anyway.)
I saw the body mock up at NAB. It's larger than it looks. Far from fitting in any POCKET. And it's just a 3D print of it, so the buttons and what not are just an idea of what it will be like. Also no one knew (or would say) anything spec wise other than what's on the web site.
Having said that I'd drop 3 grand on it in a new york minute. I wish it was out now. I've been eyeing the new Sony but 6 grand is a bit much. Not sure what I'm going to do for a camera while I wait for the Scarlet.
Also.. Since red is taking back Red One's in trade for Epic's, I wonder if they'll sell the used One's at a bargain.
Edge man see its 3k...u shoot 3k raw....and downscale it to 2k prospective for edit...and when u broadcast it on normal tv its again downsized to 750 man.... so imagine how much noise would have gone by then out of your picture.....the more the pixels get closer and contracted the better the picture looks..... and seriously with 2K u can put tht on theatres.
the post production these days is so high flying guys....that it can make even DigiBeta look amazing only the very pros can tell yeah its DigiBeta.... so imagine Cameras like Red, Scarlet could kill it...i say u're talking abt 16mm man it will overcome 35.... if the image gives you photographic feell....wht else u need....cuz thts the thing with 35mm photo graphic output rite...so i just wish to see ths camera and use it before i die....its worth giving it a short rather thn investing around 200K for sony CIne HD camera... so 3k its quite affordable for serious spenders on equipment and u can get a pretty decent idea just buy shooting with the stock specs of ths camera...if results shut your moth ipen thn its more worth spending on its assecories and get a kick as edit suite...
