Epic Closeups...

[Cüneyt Kaya]

I don't now. I mean, if you can get a whole camera for $1,700, why not a viewfinder? Then again, I don't know anything about what it takes to build something like this. Obviously the economies of scale are much different than a 7D. I was just trying to give some perspective.

Sometimes, if I spend like a couple grand on a lens, for example, I will stop and think to myself: "WTF. I could have bought a motorcycle for this price." Or gone to Africa for 5 weeks, or whatever.

me too, but comparing to other brands red is throwing their EVF away.

guess its the volume.

for 25 k usd you get a new VW GOLF6, and think of the shit its inside the car.

the difference is they sell millions of them.

we are talking about under 7000 EVFs in total maybe

But still no talk about when? And how long after Epic-X will Monstro come out?

These are the truly relevant questions to me. . .

I believe the word was monstro is going to follow by about a year if i'm not mistaken?

Great pics! Thanks for posting.

[Stephen Pruitt]

A year, huh? That might force me into Epic-X. . . or, possibly, just upgrade my One. It all depends, doesn't it?

SOCCER MOMS?????????????

It's a reference to the interview Ted gave in 2008, in which he remarked that "[Scarlet] would have a huge range of customers, from soccer moms to indie filmmakers to huge, high-level filmmakers..."

I really don't think so. Keep in mind that the EVF works with Scarlet alongside the Epic line, and they can't price it too far out of that system range. At the low end, Scarlet costs $3,000 and they are going to sell a bazillion of those. I think that it has the potential to decimate the entire HVX/EX1/XLH1 market. There are millions of those cameras out there. And while one can use a regular LCD monitor for composing shots, I think that most people are going to want an EVF - especially since they're really hitting the "DSMC" tag hard. I have no clue how many they'll actually sell but my guess is a lot more than 7,000.

Drooooool... the Redmote is ON... faint.

So sexy in black!

[Charles Nader]

Any words on any prices of those items that was displayed there?

[Stephen Strangways]

Front and top vents means the EPIC will eliminate all concerns about cooling when used with a Cinesaddle. That's a worthwhile feature point for me!

[Nick Gardner]

Is that a marking ring on the diopter on the viewfinder? That would be stellar. now when that lousy hippie smelling dit looks through my camera while I'm 10-1, and he doesn't reset my diopter, I can bust him on it AND set it back to my setting ;-)
