Having to replace a lot of glass or be forced to use a new standard would make this a tough sell.

I -do- love their video cameras though. Delicious RED cameras....]]>Nov 3rd 2008 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/
The problem is that crucial features like auto-focus(and sometimes metering) do not work with an adapter, and this will be exactly the same situation with RED's cameras (which uses adapters for PL-mounts). Also, phase-detection AF won't work anyways without a mirror-box and optical viewfinder (which the RED DSMC won't have for obvious reasons). This really isn't a problem for videographers since everybody manual focuses for film anyways, but AF is crucial for any high-performance dSLRs (much harder to get exact sharpness/focus on a 12 or 20MP photograph then a 2MP-equivalent video, plus the difference in shooting differences). My point being, RED's mounts(+adapters) are perfectly suited for video, but are far from a usable 'standard' mount in terms of photography. ]]>Nov 3rd 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/Nov 3rd 2008 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/
(Yeah sorry for the stupid comment, it's 6:24, have to go to sleep...)]]>Nov 3rd 2008 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/
So if you want to enlighten us why this shouldn't have been made in Photoshop, just like a large percentage of other gadget pictures (both existing or conceptual) out there, I'd like to hear it. It might be that you have some revolutionary idea which could prove all of us in graphic design industry wrong.]]>Nov 3rd 2008 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/
But for a teaser shot, I would expect at least a BETTER vector drawing than this. It's complex, sure. But put a little effort into it! Seeing that doesn't make me want the camera. In fact, it does little to prove that the camera exists in anything more than some vaporware's wet dream.

And as I mention in my comment below (that somehow didn't get threaded under this one), it's not the fact that it's a render/shop that I object to. It's the quality. It's a product that's 10 days from launch, an obscenely expensive product at that. They can do better than a flat illustrator screenshot.

The first time a prototype will be unveiled is supposed to be around NAB, so probably they don't have much that's photographable at this point.]]>Nov 3rd 2008 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/Nov 3rd 2008 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/

With 10 days to go, take one of these bad boys, and use it to take a super-closeup picture of another one.

I mean it is a camera, isn't it? ]]>Nov 3rd 2008 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/
But mind you, it doesn't have to be. You can achieve things like this with some carefully planned lighting]]>Nov 3rd 2008 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/Nov 3rd 2008 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/Nov 3rd 2008 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.trevisol.com/

I would buy an affordable digital med. format camera rather than a Canon 5d.]]>Nov 3rd 2008 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/red-teases-some-more-in-preparation-for-november-13th/
Red Cinema's byline "RED RENDERS OBSOLESCENCE OBSOLETE" is starting to sound a little obsolete. After subtracting all its VaporCine products, one is left with but a single camera. And by Red's own admission, it has rendered it (Red One) obsolete. Not only is it offering to take back all those Red One cameras in trade (some day) for the VaporEpic, but before anybody ever even had a chance to see a prototype of it, Red announced that it too is obsolete!

So the camera that was going to continue in the tradition of keeping obsolescence obsolete, is now itself obsolete!

Who knows, pretty soon they may just decide to render cinema obsolete.

Perhaps it would be a little less confusing (and disingenuous) if Red changed its byline to "Red Renders Obsolescence".

The news buzz psycho head space that Red is trying to occupy makes Apple's accomplishments look positively juvenile, I mean – obsolete.

I'm sorry Red, I didn't mean it. I fear that I have just made myself an unworthy customer with my "bad attitude". Now they won't take my money. Red is about to render me obsolete.
