Super Members Mattias Burling Posted May 14, 2016 Super Members Share Posted May 14, 2016 I would think 3K 60p and 2K 120p would get you through most music video shoots. Kurtisso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Yuan-Vogel Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 What are you shooting and what are your priorities in a camera package? That scarlet seems overpriced... Kurtisso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurier Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I think the slow mo on the old red are crop of the sensor , and the mx is a fairly soft sensor , that nice at 4k but at 2k it might be too soft for your taste . And not very future proof . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcode is RAW. At which point everything is done in post. I think what people get really excited about when dealing with RAW is the white balance sliders and ISO adjustment... Etc.

Jimmy Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I found the 2K on MX is about as good as 5DII, in terms of resolution.... No amount of post can sharpen it to a reasonable level. The lack of detail, coupled with the poor ISO put me off ever buying one... I have not used Dragon yet... But I would look closely at an FS700/O7Q combo before buying an MX based camera... Better low light, better HFR (4K/120fps, non windowed), better on-board sound, NDs, ProRes and much lighter, even with the Odyssey.

I'd agree with this - there's a reason very few people use S16 lenses on their MX in 2k to shoot, despite it being very possible. The resolution is just not there. REDs are optimised to work at their max resolution. Even an Epic will perform significantly better at 5k than it will at 2 or 3k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red one can have a m42/nikon mount for cheap and you can get cheap glass. Consumer product are consumer product , today you have a lot for the money, but you still usually have poor codec / dynamic range / colors compared to even older equipement . For still, is use a mamiya ZD , it s a 22 megapixel medium format camera , it s native iso 50, it s slower than any new dslr and it s 10 years old . But it was more than 15k when released and and paid 2k for it couple of month ago, but in term of highlight handling / image quality / look it s just way better than any sub 3/4k usd camera on the market today. But that thing is made to be use in pro environment , with flash/lighting equipment ect. If you want something easy to use / fast and your clients are low budget , go with the consumer grade stuff , then upgrade regularly. If you want to get higher clients invest in entry pro stuff, or second hand high end . If you plan to shoot fashion / music video I would avoid the red mx and the scarlet because of the lack of 4k slow mo. Personally I pre ordered a kinefinity terra 5k , with the speedbooster you get T2 zoom and the vistavision look on a native iso 800 camera . raw/pro res and 4k 100 fps . Tera 5K with soeedbooster i know what speedbooster does but what is the purpose on terra and did you purchase basic kit? and how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking Hi guys thanks for all the info and posts. Did some hard thinking and decide not to go with MX because of weight and age. But decided to jump in to terra 5k just the options alone and anamorphic 4:3 slow mo in 4k at 100 and 200 at 2k is dam tempting plus i hear they have dam good support and regular update. I will just wait till Jan next year not in a hurry and see all the tests and reviews when it comes out. Plus red camera price should go down a bit when terra comes out.

You get 1 stop of transmission extra , you also get wider field of view , on the terra you get almost full frame on a super 35 sensor. I get the TERRA Basic Pack with the focal reducer canon mount and it going to cost me between 5500/6000 usd , because I did the pre order / pay in Chinese currency and have it delivered in china it s a bit cheaper . Otherwise the same package is close to 7000 usd I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And can you explain Dual Shutter: Rolling + Global vs Rolling and why did you pick one over other. I mean the benefits.

Thus, not full frame. I think crop is 1.5 (bah, Google crop factor). But I can understand how it be easily misunderstood for normal 35mm (full frame). Global shutter removes jello effect when panning. I'm sure it has other disadvantages that I'm unaware of... Possibly has something to do with reduced light transmission or reduced sharpness (I'm only guessing here) BTW, I don't mind rolling shutter (in fact, I prefer it) because I don't pan as fast, and I cannot figure out those angles.

Cinegain Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Well. Sure. You can buy one right now. As long as it has the Dragon sensor upgrade (34.5mm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have 70mm too, but again it's custom... Remember they have 8K weapons... But you don't see it on sale at Red.com Editted to add: https://***URL not allowed***/full-frame-and-beyond-large-sensor-digital-cinema/ See the 617 Sensor - I've seen that concept since 2013. Never saw it in the wild though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Nothing special about it. You can pick up a RED Epic Dragon or Scarlet Dragon without much problem besides funding. It's ARRI who really have something special, that you rather rent than buy: http://arrirentalgroup.com/alexa65/ . Hateful Eight was shot as 70mm Ultra Panavision format; on film mind you.

Cinegain Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Quote Is the RED DRAGON sensor the same for SCARLET DRAGON and EPIC RED DRAGON? Yes. What lenses can I use with the RED DRAGON sensor? You can use any lens designed for Full Frame 35mm formats btw... WEAPON 6K (Carbon Fiber) SENSOR SENSOR TYPE RED DRAGON 19.4 Megapixel CMOS MAX FRAME RATES (EPIC) 175 fps at 6K Full Frame (6144 x 3160), 100 fps at 6K 2.4:1 (6144 x 2592) 96 fps at 5K Full Frame (5120 x 2700), 120 fps at 5K 2.4:1 (5120 x 2160) 120 fps at 4K Full Frame (4096 x 2160), 150 fps at 4K 2.4:1 (4096 x 1728) 150 fps at 3K Full Frame (3072 x 1620), 200 fps at 3K 2.4:1 (3072 x 1296) 240 fps at 2K Full Frame (2048 x 1080), 300 fps at 2K 2.4:1 (2048 x 864) Sure, it shoots at 1.17x crop compared to 35mm (not like the full frame DSLRs don't like to crop in on video). Still called a full frame camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 They can call it what they want.... It is simply not a full frame camera (36mm x 24mm) When they say Full Frame on that spec sheet, they just mean "non windowed"... eg, it uses the full frame of the sensor... They have been (mis) using that term since day one. I guess Raven is full frame too? jax_rox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
