just a few facts Pre NAB?

[JustMe]

Maybe Jim can squash some speculation about Scarlet without giving it all away pre NAB.

“Pocket Professional [not prosumer] Digital Cinema Moving picture camera.”

Jim has confirmed that it is a Moving Picture camera, and well the name on the front page of Red says “Digital Cinema Camera”.
So we can speculate 1080p, 16mm min, 4k max. (Leaning to 2k, 24p)
With a Pro way to record said images onto camera (CF seems likely)

It has been said that it will not have a fixed lens. (Not by Jim)
So could we get a small hint on what we may need to use camera day one?
C-Mount would fit into the Idea “Pocket”

Now a bigger question:
Will Scarlet be just a Nab promotional/Limited run camera, or will it become part of the RED camera production line for years to come?
He has said RED won’t be taking reservations for the camera.

I think just a few facts Pre NAB could help us just a tad.
Thoughts?

It would be nice to know, at the least, if the thing is designed to function as a camcorder, and will be in direct competition with the leading $<10K offerings from the companies we know and love (or not).

Or, even more plainly, is it a camera you can and should shoot a low budget or no-budget movie with -- instead, say, of an EX1 or an HV200 or (for that matter) an HV20 or a DVX100B? Or is it something else?

[Mark L. Pederson]

I am pretty damn sure they are enjoying everyone speculating. Including the competition.

I sincerely DOUBT you will get any more facts before NAB - why spoil all that ... anticipation.

I think it would be a RIOT if it was all "dis-information" and they unveiled a completely different product ...

Well, in all, even if it's like a Pocket Cam (HV20ish) I'm still gonna get one.

Considering that the HV20 + Adapter is enough to make a great straight-to-dvd, you can only consider that the RED version's gonna be that much better.

To NAB I fly.

It'll have a sensor in it.
And some buttons.

There appears to be a certain genius here for marketing....
