pretty sure it was Varicam - Apple shoots lots of those videos on Varicam -Apple's videos look so good because the LIGHT very, very well -

[Noah Kadner]

Yep- mostly Varicam with good lenses, nice lighting and really nice color correction.

thanks for the reply, so i suppose red will look better if not as good as the varicam with just good lighting and color correction

i hope it looks this good.

Red shoots 10 times the amount of pixels than Varicam. It will look ridiculously better than Varicam.

not if you're watching the videos online like everyone else. by the time you scale and compress it, varicam is not much different than red unfortunately.

You sure about that...

Yes, definition wouldn't change that much in that case.
It's the sensor (latitude and 35mm DOF) which could make a difference, but I'm not sure it would make such a huge difference in that particular case (controlled environnement and lighting)...

Well of course starting from the 4K resolution, web video from Red should look as good or better(assuming lenses, lighting, composition, color correction are well done) as any of the 1080p trailers from 35mm films you see on http://www.apple.com/trailers/

But the real obvious difference between something shot on Red and something shot on a 720p camera like the Varicam will be more apparent on the big screen where the level of magnification is much higher than on a computer screen.
