[Jeremiah Kuehne]

I've got the forums up and two blog sites. Looked at the information on MC6 as well. Today is like Christmas.

[alex lemon]

[alex lemon]

no specs or price yet... interested to see more about these new lenses too.

[Andrew Patterson]

Does it look like the lenses have the iris out front?

[alex lemon]

seems they have a new line of cinema lenses.

[alex lemon]

it seems you can control the new canon via ipad wireless...

[Jeremiah Kuehne]

I hear an 8-15mm and a 30-300mm..both can be controlled wirelessly I believe..

[alex lemon]

this canon announcement is putting me to sleep...bring on scarlet!

[Jeffrey T. Morgan]

I want some new Canon Glass for my Scarlet!!!

(but we need some details)

Mike Seymor ( @mikeseymor ) says its grainy and not very technically well shot in regards to one of the shorts they are showing. follow him on twitter!

gorman at engadget had the same impression on the second short they showed...

[Jeffrey T. Morgan]

16 k for a basic package, ready to go except the lens. I was hoping for ridiculously cheap, just to keep the Scarlet price as low as possible, lol.

[alex lemon]

interesting that the EF model has no auto-focus capability whatsoever.

[PatC]

I can get a red one mx for the price of this camera and have better images all day long.

[Jeffrey T. Morgan]

Keep the talk going here:

[Tim Whitcomb]

$16K 1080P camera... how is the 5DMK crowd going to afford that?

[SeanBrown]

No one wants another 1080 P camera.

[Tim Whitcomb]

hey RED, please ignore the CANNON announcement... you might be inclined to RAISE Scarlet prices given the price performance of the C300 announcement!

[SeanBrown]

Agreed!

[Phil Anderson]

I don't see Red jacking up Scarlet's price because of this announcement. There are a LOT of people who want a large sensor and interchangeable lenses more than higher res.

I actually like the Canon camera, though the price is too high. They will sell though...at least until Red releases Epic-S. If I were willing to wait until Jan for the Canon, I'd be willing to wait a few more months (or so) for Epic-S, which should blow it out of the water at roughly the same price.

[Andreas Mendritzki]

FXGuide site seems down. Anyone know what's up?

Well guess what?
Scarlet X IS the Epic S.
