Jonesy Jones Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Some of you may recognize a similar table that I created a while back to compare several cameras, including the URSA Mini. These charts help me to make a more informed decision. For my purposes, there's been no camera to rival the URSA Mini (on paper at least) at it's price point. The Raven may be a competitor, though it could be shaping up to not really be in the Mini's price point. There's still a bunch we don't know, but a lot we do. I'll add info to the list as it becomes available. I trust you'll let me know where I'm in error. Updated with Raven 4.5K sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neosushi Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Definitely interested by this topic : ) I think that Red should start developing a cheaper line of products. 1.5k a screw to mount a 3k EVF.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Pro Res might be the deal breaker... Have RED confirmed that it will be REDcode only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Jones Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Pro Res might be the deal breaker... Have RED confirmed that it will be REDcode only? Nope. It's intentionally left out until we know for sure. I'm hoping for that too because you're right, kind of a deal breaker. But for the market they're shooting for with this camera, it's kind of a no brainer. Would be surprised if they leave it out. I'm also kind of hoping the max res is actually a bit higher. 4.5K at 30p tops would be cool. This is Red after all. Res is kinda their game.

Jimmy Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 From what I have read at REDuser, the thinking is that these sensors are a quarter cut of the 8K sensor... If that is the case, then 4K will be the max. If true, it is a concern, as RED is quite soft (compared to BM with no OLFP) Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understood correctly, Jared said early this morning that it was a Dragon sensor. Maybe that's the same thing. I don't know. We're getting into tech talk territory I have no business debating about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 So the sensor size is between APS-C and M43 sensor (similar size to Sigma Foveon sensor)That means you lose the wide angle part a bit as it will be 1.7x crop size instead of 1.5x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those focal lengths are pretty wide. So, anything is already good enough. I know as for instance, 16mm covers FF on Tokina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 And it is in EF mount so you can't add speedbooster anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 And it is in EF mount so you can't add speedbooster anywayYes, indeed. I see the specs now. Pity no 4/3" mount, so close 1.7x is from 1.8x. I should add the verb on "would" than "will" : DI also see the idea of universal pre-mount brought by RED in 2006 is a mere page of the past. PS: The difference of price range with Weapon is huge, so 4/3" mount (with the right tricks) would place it even more planetary... ;-)https://support.red.com/entries/93023988-WEAPON-DRAGON-Pricing-Information-USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrgl Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I trust you'll let me know where I'm in error. Your CFast media price seems a little wonky.Cursory search reveals that the approved Lexard 3400x cards cost:128GB = USD 341.99256GB = USD 677.80And I mean, those are B&H prices. Guaranteed you can find a better deal. That said, this stuff (media prices) changes by the second, so I respect your compiling effort. I await the published Raven specs. Hoping for some real awesome DR and possibly even HDRx capability. Jonesy Jones, Santiago de la Rosa, neosushi and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
