"a centithousands dollar camera with 4:2:2"? You clearly don't know WTF you're talking about. The Reds have never been 4:2:2. They aren't YCbCr cameras in the first place.

Then you're saying that when 4K projection becomes mainstream, a 5K camera won't be appropriate? Yes, brilliant. Oh, and if you'd done any reading, you'd know why Red went with one very high-resolution sensor instead of multiple lower-resolution sensors.

It's a good thing that ignorant people aren't their target market. Enjoy your interlaced HandyCam.]]>Aug 10th 2010 2:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Aug 10th 2010 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Aug 10th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Aug 10th 2010 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Aug 10th 2010 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/
The Scarlet's 2/3-inch sensor is much smaller than that of the imminent http://www.nexvg10.info, even though it will shoot at a slightly higher resolution. The Scarlet (if it every makes it to market) will cost over three times as much, and rather like RED/Oakley's overpriced sunglasses, their "modular" product line is simple price gouging. RED wants you to get addicted - hence the cult.

99% of Engadget readers will not be spending around $10k on RED's entry-level Scarlet camera with its requisite accessories. And among the 1% who do, newsflash: Weddings and corporate training videos don't need 2k resolution. Use that Handycam.]]>Aug 10th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/there is a very large crop of possible Scarlet customers who wouldn't even think of buying any part of the Sony camera lineup because they don't want to risk jobs by filming with a consumer-oriented camera.

the nex is an interesting idea, but only for prosumers. the Scarlet is for real work and i guarantee you it will produce better quality images and video (even a shallower depth of field) than any $5k sony setup ever will.

while i am a RED fanatic, i tend to judge tech news for what it is. and seeing what this small company has accomplished, i am more than certain that their current Mysterium-X and Monstro sensors are the first wave of the future of imaging technology design.

This *will* change the market. Not only high end cinema.]]>Aug 10th 2010 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/
Fine call me a RED cultist. At least they understand that just about everyone is shotting 24p. Even for TV.]]>Aug 10th 2010 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Aug 10th 2010 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/
Pirates 4 is not being shot on Epic. It's being shot on MX equipped RED One cameras (13 of them in 3D setups to be exact).

For those saying the 5DMII is a better camera then the Scarlet because it has a larger sensor, that just isn't true. Sure you get a shallower-than-35mm-motion-film depth of field with the 5DMII, but don't bother getting your footage graded. The h.264 codec compresses the crap out of whatever you shoot.

I'm not bashing the 5DMII (I shoot with it at least a few times a week and it's great for what it is), but the bit rates and compression leave a lot to be desired. I shoot on the RED almost every week and think it's pretty good, but am looking forward to the new improvements these smaller form factors will bring.]]>Aug 10th 2010 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Aug 11th 2010 1:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Aug 9th 2010 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Maybe if you're Canon or Arri.]]>Aug 10th 2010 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Aug 9th 2010 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Aug 9th 2010 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Aug 9th 2010 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/Aug 10th 2010 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/
you don't need a state of the art camera to shoot great footage, it's all about the person behind the camera.]]>Aug 10th 2010 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/red-scarlet-makes-surprise-cameo-filming-epics-fast-focus/I believe he was mocking Arash for his earlier post. I also believe he was mocking him for suggesting that the Panasonic HS700 was superior for being 60P.

I personally am happy with the quality of many prosumer and higher end consumer cameras. You can almost always bypass compression with the HDMI out. I also am excited by the new Handycam though I am the biggest fan of its limitations in frame rate.(BTW it isn't interlaced it is 30P but saved as 60i so you can flag for other frame rates).

That said if I could afford RED I would go for it in a sec. The ability to record RAW and the image quality is better then the competition even for the price. Of course I will have to make do with my EX3.

BTW it is a mixture of the person behind the camera and the tech. The tech opens up more doors. I could do amazing things with a Pixelvision 2000, however after awhile anyone watching it but me would get fatigued. You may be able to get away with a feature. But when I want a shot I don't want the camera to be the one to get in hte way. Thats why I like Tech!
