From what Jim Jannard said about Scarlet, will it be a camera?

[Joseph Hutson]

Someone said they think the Scarlet camera will just be an add-on to the Red One...not necessarily a camera of its own.

How do you interpret Jim Jannard's remarks about the Scarlet?

"Scarlet. Our Pocket Professional camera." Not an add-on. :biggrin:

[Gunleik Groven]

LOL

I guess.

I'm invited to a big SONY post NAB event. I think I'll show up with my good ole' 930 and just be silent :)

It's actually an appetizer: "Pocket Professional Calamari." The whole 'camera' thing was just a typo.

[John Caballero]

It might be one of those new tiny cars that are going to save the environment! Oh yeah! Like the TATA NANO! But smaller.

[Jaime Vallés]

It was a typo. It should have read:

Pocket Professional Camry

RED is in league with Toyota. A plug-in car that folds up and fits in your pocket. No more wasting gasoline looking for a parking spot.

Now we are having fun!

[Peter Majtan]

I think (and so does everyone else so far) that is it pretty clear it is going to be a camera on its own. However some people may still see it as an "add-on" to RED ONE - read B-CAM, Crash-CAM, Underwater-CAM, etc...

The question really is:
Is RED going to upset RED ONE buyers?
And is Jim and his team ready for Scarlet success?

Just a thought...

[David M]

From what has been hinted as to who might be worried I think it will be something like this:

The equivalent of a 6 megapixel still camera but one that can shoot up to at least 30 fps, store on CF cards, and has a 2/3" sensor that makes it compatible with most existing 2/3" lenses, both conventional ENG zooms and Digi-Prime types.

It most likely will be able to deliver standard 1920 x 1080 HD as well as 2K and so fit comfortably into the market currently dominated by 3-CCD models, but for a much lower price, say around $5-6K.

I predict "pocket" may be a stretch, unless the lens and battery are removed:umm: Or the RED team turn up in shirts with oversized pockets, as Sony reputedly did with their first "pocket" radio 50-odd years ago:bleh:

I just read a piece in the N.Y. Times website about the Casio Exilim EX-F1. Pretty amazing.

here is an anagram for pocket professional camera

Am I surprised by the current results 22-0? No, but I was just wanting to confirm it.

Scarlet is a still camera.

[David M]

Scarlet is a still camera.

You mean something with the same sensor and lens mount as the RED, and that uses identical processing and storage, but only takes stills for evaluation purposes?

In other words, a 21st century version of the 35mm still camera, which was originally developed for more or less the same purrpose.

That would have to be awfully cheap to be a viable product.

[Isaac Babcock]

After 4 beers on a Saturday evening I'll type my guess...I've wondered for a while if it wouldn't look like a digital slr, perhaps with interchangeable lenses (canon?), and record 2k to cf card.

sorry...this post is meaningless, but that's guesswork for you...

It's definitely an add-on to my Red camera.

I keep my Red camera in my POCKET all the time.

Oh, wait, that's not my Red camera in my pocket, that's my... :blush:
