The Dec 3rd RED Announcements- An Initial Analysis

red02.jpg

RED’s much anticipated December 3rd announcements have arrived and with them come the usual flurry of analysis and speculation. We’ve received a huge new brochure chock full of specifications and new 3D renderings of a litany of cameras.

But what’s actually new? Well here are a few things that seem to come across(with thanks to Gunleik Groven for being such an eagle eye.)

  • The fixed-lens Scarlet, clearly aiming at Sony/Panasonic/Canon cameras has shown up with a price- $3,750 for the complete kit.
  • RedCodeRGB-1080 scaled from full frame sensor. This was a previous anounced feature of the Red One, and is still supposedly coming in a separate build.
  • Epic-X, a nicely priced upgrade path from Red One. Package is $28,000-$17,500 trade-in for Red One=$10,500.
  • $4,500 for the Mysterium X sensor upgrade for Red One.
  • Lower compression rates for the new cameras.
  • Higher maximum fps., now up to 250 (for Epic).
  • Delayed delivery of most cameras – as most expected anyway.
  • Anyone buying the Red One before the first Epic is delivered can use the upgrade path to Epic-X.

See for yourself here as we analyze some more.
