It can be because actually, the Mark II is a mere update to the older sister, based on the goodies brought from a7RII (such as more power processing, in any case, still overheating according to the early reports from manufacturer), except sensor design, including the same sensor, contrast detection AF, etc...

Things require time to be made, correct? The problem with these forums is the fact people from so different origin come to post and say anything as it is the most consensual truth. As matter of fact, experience speaks on our behalf. We can't put some worker with one, two or more decades of experience in the same basket of some young fellow anxious to see the bird out of the cage. I'm sorry but that's what it is. Our actions speak by itself. To infer some manufacturer has some trouble because didn't post any sample footage in half dozen of days, only pops up as evidence of it. Instead.

Man, but that's the point! To me, it is a mere exercise of show off and marketing (in a market flooded by thousands of other digital shooters trying identical luck in the same film festivals) certain experiences as Tangerine (shot on iPhone 5s) where lots of movement and high sensitivity requirements would require better acquistion tools, available and affordable out there. Bloom is always trying the best outcome from the tool he uses (even in the last one made with the new iPhone 6s, he ends it stuck with stationary shots and the weakest link of the chain is exactly the beginning when movement shows how fragile these tools can be), that's the spot; the same for the test of Mattias. The question is you need to know very well what we can do with the tools you have. This is the good news* after all: (and this higher bitrate you don't have it by default straight out the box from the manufacturer, it is the combo, in this case, with the resolution provided, the factor which counts and equals professional tools, so ready to be used as insert shots, as for instance) *from Mattias' test

Yes, I meant the 4K studio sensor per se.

Coupled to 1.33x anamorphics, it is a 1:2.35 6K camera...

Ebrahim is the one to tell you the right value of the sensor of this camera.

I give you an example... Yesterday, I spoke with some core early adopters of every single RED camera till today. My wondering about Weapon. Answer: "No way, price doesn't justify a new purchase, we've already invested a lot of money in RED cameras". I guess RED must listen or we all RED lovers won't have reasons to praise RED for much longer... The early spirit of RED is necessary for this industry, we are today what RED made yesterday. Emanuel :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Digital_Cinema_Camera_Company#History

To me, 4K/60fps is already a good shot. Twixtor a must help. Raven, a promising 120fps, except for that RED policy already mentioned. It simply is a buster.

: D Indeed, impossible to not agree with both.

Well, you still have URSA 120fps/4K or URSA Mini 60fps/4K + Twixtor...

The beef of them with RED is the fact the company has a policy of overpriced accessories when the initial idea was to disrupt the industry. Jarred still uses the line. At a certain point, companies like Sony or Panasonic became more client friendly than the one used to make the rules of the business change. They succeeded to launch a camera that placed the offer for a fraction of the supply then. The infamous 103,000.00 F900 rate reduced to the promising $17,500 for identical formatting of a digital cinema camera body! Almost ten years later, the market model is not the same anymore. Panasonic offers professional recording 10-bit 4:2:2 option for free in their consumer line (hence YAGH, not AF200 as proof of it), Sony has resisted but outputs 4:2:2 even though still* 8-bit and sells a cine zoom lens under $2,500. A good part thanks to RED, true. Actually, sad to see now the same company playing the same role usually performed by the giants of this sector before. Who've wisely gotten the lesson much earlier than that one to still keep trying to preserve the current mainstream instead. Bizarre. Innovation was replaced by hold the line attitude. That's what HFR 8K is, at an unfriendly indie rate. 4K4all tag (by RED) accordingly. It is a pity. BMD is the only winner over here. And their clientele, of course. I know some RED early adopters who work and live for buying the yearly updates. Where's the obsolescence obsolete concept? Only in the marketing. All these tricks have annoyed serious non'sheep people as for instance Ed who has been a voice against it. Along the years, I've seen a few others to follow the track. Some of them I personally brought to RED. Hence my inner POV and, sorry who can dislike it, also educated from inside. E :-) * Unfortunately, RED is out of the game where BMD can help to make FFC's dream even more real than today.

Nathan, Ebrahim is perhaps the most valuable poster among us, his silences also speak on his behalf... LOL Need to read between the lines, maybe you'll find out more similarities with your thinking than apparently seems to you at first glance ;-) He loves filmmaking after all and filmmakers speak through signs, figurative speech and so on... At times, it happens to write it upside down!

This post is delicious... Ebrahim! ;-) LOL No self destruction, but guts, a much different perspective... ;-) Normally, I say it the same, trying to use the best words to say what is necessary to say anyway. We are not a crowd but we can be as good as them : D http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?136117-4K4ALL&p=1546364&viewfull=1#post1546364

As far as possible to understand, yes. The heat comes from the processing for 4K recording and the compact design, not the sensor.

Some guy here: https://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=igcxMfaqoCo Says: "the a7rii is overheating because many people don't use right sd cards, if you use san disk class 10 sdxc u3 extreme pro it won't overheat." I doubt, but anyone has tested it?

Dave Dugdale's review: https://vimeo.com/140577717

The ways of God are a puzzling mystery ;-) Other than 120fps/4K and maybe weight, maybe, rather true. Jarred will need to end to low the price range. It is the crowd there who doesn't let the things go down. Pathetic but that's a fact.

Some users are getting a workaround with this solution: On Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/42440790 http://www.ebay.com/bhp/micro-fan

Frankly my dear Ed, only sins out there : D http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?133548-Decoding-the-New-Red-Weapon-Press-Release And we don't necessarily need to agree nor subscribe the idea that media convergence is not evolutionary of both headspacess...

I suppose that 8th grade episode might also show the Edvolution some kids are made of ; ) I also anticipate if you all had the chance to personally meet, you'd find more similarities full of proficuous diversity than somewhat substantial differences between you at both sides. You, a lesson for a lot of readers if they could accurately read you... In any case, I also believe you fairly guess I appreciate the way you really are an authentic breeze inside a virtual container and never hostage of somehow politically correct at any rate. God be with you! PS: That thread is a classic today, Ed... I've just had a good laugh each new reading on the characters' dialogue present there. You truly created a legit narrative essay throughout a simple thread: it is now a masterpiece of the web. Emanuel :-) PPS: Ed's other (genuinely ;)) disruptive sin : P http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?133547-Reduser-Viewing-Count-has-Been-Off-Since-Beginning&p=1522588#post1522588

This a modest homage to Ed... RED Weapon is already included! : D

Speaking of other cameras from this company, it seems if you want an external microphone coupled to the camera* (only with internal microphone), you'll need to add something like a dedicated USD 1,750.00 accessory. PS: "available for the WEAPON or REDRAVEN camera system" http://www.red.com/store/products/weapon-base-expander *among other features, though

Time for your Raven footage... Spill the beans! ;-) That is, RED Weapon Raven MX footage... : P Who doesn't miss your incarnate posts , Ed?
