New CF cards coming soon?

[Shawn Nelson]

Oh, and 32gb sounds awesome :-)

Will the existing, recently upgraded card modules work with 32gb cards? Or will these need to be upgraded as well? Or is that a "don't know yet?"

Just wow!

RED 32GB cards due soon...

Hi Jim and Jarred!

Could you try the Transcend 16GB x600 CF cards for the Red One? This seems to be a great card at a very good price. They claim above 80mbyte per second, shouldn´t that work? Would love to be able to buy these card for my own use. Also, could you add a menuoption in camera to turn off speedcheck?

Thanks!

I'm looking forward to the 32GB Cards- that will be great!

Especially for some documentary work I am doing - there is nothing quite like trying to change out cards during an interview - although I have developed a new skill: Sensing when there will be a long pause to swap cards. (Is that something I can put on a resume? ;) )

More affordable 16GB card options would also be helpful- that Transcend seems promising. To bad it is locked out ...

$500-ish for a 16GB card is a bit spendy for me, but I'd pay that for a 32GB Card as long as it still has the benefits of the shooting speed of the 16GB card.

Is it just me? I'm really not bothered about any card above 8GB. I find it it a bit unnerving to shoot so much footage on one CF card. It's like putting all eggs... Ehh..just thinking aloud.

Keep in mind that 32GB Cards will also be usable for 5K, 6K, 9K, etc... and with larger res, comes larger files. By RED charging ahead in this area now, we will all benefit down the road when these other formats become available.

How about sub $200 16gb cards? It seems there are a bunch of new offerings that weren't up the last time the topic was raised, especially those CF-as-mini-RAID look fascinating, plus a bunch of other fast CF

Second, any thoughts to the Red One being unlocked from using only proprietary CF? Maybe a warning saying 'you are using unverified media'? It'd be great to address the concerns while still leaving open the possibilities

Dont worry Shawn, just because nobody is talking about them we are testing everything out there. As for sub $200 cards, as soon as we find a card that cheap that actually works, we will pass it forward.

Red One is not locked to proprietary CF.. We just lock out the high data rates where data integrity comes questionable... It is very easy to say " just put a warning on the screen " but unfortunately it doesn't work that way in the real world.. if a big budget production's data becomes corrupt, people forget the fact they used janky cards, and are quick to blame the camera. We don't want to even allow people to be put in those kinda situations.

As much as 16GB is plenty for us at the moment, I wouldnt mind the option of carrying so much more possible recording time in a CF belt pouch. 32s would bring me closer to not needing the drives or RAMs so often.

That's a hard decision but a very sensible one I must say. Make it foolproof somehow ;) How much footage may fit on a 32GB card with a ScarletFF35?
