@AdmNaismith: You're somewhat misinformed. There's audio on RedOne. There's audio issues, but they are working on it. Some misleading information in pin schematic on the manual, and probably a "post factory" fix with an attenuator cable adapter (mini-xlr to XLR) from Red... And why on earth you heard that Red, an professional cine camera doesn't support TC? It does. There's minus issues with that too... Jump to the reduser.net forums and do a research...

@LastAndLeast: Oh, on my 15" laptop screen. I'd just watch a tiny corner of the action. And then I'd rewind, move the view window a bit and watch it again... repeat that a few dozen times... stitch the whole thing together in my mind.

I realize I am showing my ignorance here, but is there currently anything on which you can actually view the content that this thing creates?

Or is it strictly created at that resolution for editing to be downressed to 1080p?

@omnomnomnom:
Do studios actually own those Panny lenses? Otherwise, they can just rent the equivalent in any other mount since RED has adapters. Also, you can do whatever you want in a digital workflow anamorphic or not. If film is show anamorphic it gets corrected scanned in, digitized, edited, etc anyway.

Pretty nice of them to offer an even exchange on the previous model.

Also, where's the sample footage?

And finally, don't they know that they're leaving themselves wide open to a bunch of immature EPIC FAIL jokes? Are they crazy?

Too bad Red cameras have no Time Code or audio support.
Audio is optional as far as I'm concerned, but for any video camera past 2006 not to to accept standard TC is telling the user you do not want this to work well in a standard professional work flow.

Can it do 2.39:1 natively with Panavision anamorphic lenses at 5K?

Unless the answer is yes, I don't see major studios jumping over to digital capture anytime soon.

@Darrone: Brilliant!

My guess on price: 17501. Because what's money to these people?

wifi control, so you no longer have to train a monkey to film you doing it.

So you will be able to buy a slightly used RED ONE in about a year for less than 17500 from the manufacturer I am guessing.

Why?! Why must you taunt us with this gadget pr0n? I want. Not just the camera, but also the time to use the camera.

Alas, in order to pay for the camera, I will have to log a ton of hours for said camera, cutting into time to use the camera.
