You have to be shitting me. the 12k price tag is null and void. since you are also getting an industry standard $8k stills camera for free within the 12K price. so your remaining $4k buys you the best performing high iso 1080p 4.2.0 money can buy. and that's not counting the 4k and c-log.

More like $5K gets me 4k and c-log. The 1DX already comes with crappy "1080p" 4:2:0 and it only costs $6700. Mondo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1DX already comes with crappy "1080p" 4:2:0 and it only costs $6700. s35 crop mode appears to be true 1080p with no downscaling. 1Dx wont do this. 5k is still cheap if you factor in that most buyers of this will do so with intention of making use of it as a still cam too. I've seen plenty of good stuff shot on the fs100 and fs700 with their 'crappy' 4.2.0 in camera recording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmMan Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 The 4K is 4:2:2 with okay codec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurtinMinorKey Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 "s35 crop mode appears to be true 1080p with no downscaling. 1Dx wont do this. If this is true, then I concede the point. Thanks for the Intel. Also, if someone can write a script to efficiently downscale the 4k 4:2:2 to 1080p, we might be in business. we can use the down sample to increase the bit depth too, right?

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 4, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2013 One option to consider to avoid the crazy pricing of this admittedly rather attractive beast is to get it on a finance deal, quit your job, and sell the your 4K footage as stock. 4K stock footage is in demand. Also I am pretty sure you could undercut a lot of Red shooters for a job which specifically demands 4K material. The image on this camera is lovely. The pricing is indefensible though, but business is business. richg101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 4, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2013 Because the Scarlet is even more expensive, not as good in low light, not a full frame sensor nor does is it as good a stills camera. I am in the 1D C camp but it could have been much better. 25p, $8k instead of $12k, HD-SDI and articulated screen... But then Canon are conservative.

FilmMan Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Make sure to turn off scaling. The 4K portion of the video is very detailed. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmMan Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Can the Scarlet do what the 1DC does up to the 18 second mark (low light)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nahua Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The full frame video looks exactly like the 5D3. Good call. Sad that the 1080P image is so damn soft. Is it me or does the Super35mm look sharper than 4K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
