I bet it is quite the opposite. A world without lawyers would be a stupid world. Almost as much stupid as a lot of stuff we're used to read online at times over some pages. Emanuel

How long, Ari... Nice to see you still kicking your business up a notch :-) go blues, go ;-)

True words. There's something else what can offer you a sharper 1080p outcome anyway. An hacked under $1000 GH2 camera.

C'mon, we should all put a bit of salt on everything Bloom is able to write in his blogsphere or anywhere else. I respect the person and especially what he has achieved, integrity and whatever you want but, even a few minutes ago I've read he is being sponsored by Rode. We all know his connections within the industry, Canon, Sony and so on. Arri is just the latest one. So please, give me a break, please :D Jim Jannard knows very well the error he committed. IMHO he should be more grateful to people like Stephen, as for instance, who cannot have a legion of fanboys as same as Jim or Bloom, but has posted this in these same boards just a few weeks ago: http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=54062 And it is not the first time I write it ;-) BTW, I read Bloom's article before all this controversy and didn't change my idea about what I thought then. Not even one comma of my mind. Just not posted for everyone to take a look at.

For the same reason, «is it really important that you rent a camera then, rather than just owning one?» BTW, if it just depends on the market segment you are or your business is, it is rather certain that a lot of RED owners make money with others to rent them. Peace, Emanuel :-)

I've even tried to put them all on my right side, but my left wing doesn't allow me to replace all of them ;-)

(PS II:) Now as message to anyone who may come here to read it. These online disputes between 'apples' vs 'oranges' are the most stupid thing I've ever read. I thought I wouldn't need to come to my fourties to see people forgetting the most basic rule to be a man or a woman. We should never send to anyone in a public forum or distant from a keyboard somewhere else, what we are not able to say face to face in the real world. Facts speak outside. Higher and loudly. Stephen has had my vote not to be banned from reduser, but to be elected there to mod. No more, no less.

(PS:) I wrote 'he' but I meant 'they', we instead.

Well, there is at least one among other 10,000 redusers who can properly say 'he' is used to read (and learn) everything we can from this contributor, you, Stephen W. BTW, one of the best there, as usual and also often said. Cheers from Mediterranean/Adriatic, Emanuel :-)

Yes Brian. I've just seen Jim's post now. This will obviously bring consequences for RED business and their customers. Me and my partners were previously thinking to buy two Scarlet S35 and probably two 2/3" (we always must buy a couple of them considering the 3D market where we have been committed). Now, we already don't know nothing at all. If we will let drop the 2/3" purchase once we need to focus our resources in the 35mm sensor size route, our main territory. Granted the price increase, with no budget for. Or if we even go out of RED. Time will tell.

The Scarlet S35 was supposed to be $7,000. Since this thread is open, Epic Light has been re-renamed for Epic-S.

LOL You know, I love to share with my fellows @ these boards but I should be the only one or a rare reduser member to have guts to do it :-) On the contrary, me and many other Scarlet believers are sincerely more concerned about the new price of the Light Model now re-baptized Epic-S [LINK] than any new features to come (on the screen or in-camera), as matter of fact ;-)

I stand corrected, Jim Jannard made known the replacement of the announced Scarlet S35 for a new model to be known as Epic Light.

I agree. We should know more substantial information once there are already some units floating around. Do not forget this is a consumer product, though. It is natural such kind of user reports. I doubt the conspiracy theories may be true but who knows? Especially now that Jannard announced the replacement of Scarlet for an Epic Light. AF 100 will definitely be a success by itself. No reason to cripple the HDMI output of a harmless $1,000 consumer camera.

There won't be more Scarlet S35 but Epic Light. Price unknown so far, very likely 'cause Jim Jannard will be listening the market during next two weeks. Announcement: http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=52245 Epic release in December for machined bodies ($58,000 for the package), with regular production for small quantities scheduled for February, and normal delivery for April.

Beyond everything you can follow up @ dvxuser.com (GH2 official discussion thread; page 212 and following), there's this new report that comes up to my hands tonight through the same via from the same early GH2 user on the HDMI output quality (seen on TV and described as progressive, not recorded though) compared with 1080p24 AVCHD recorded in-camera. «If anything the quality looks a little higher but it's hard to tell a difference. I do know that it is recording in 24p and is sending that out to the TV, otherwise the shutter speed wouldn't be able to go so low. As I said before, the only thing I'm unsure of is whether the camera is putting the 24p out over HDMI in a 60i wrapper or whether it is leaving it as 24p. My guess is that it's leaving it as 24p, otherwise the manual wouldn't tell you to set the HDMI out to "Auto", though in my case I can set the HDMI out to whatever setting I want (auto, 1080i or 720p) and it looks just the same, it's like the camera knows how to negotiate with my TV and ignores whichever settings are in the camera. It also ignores the 4:3 or 16:9 setting, videos always play back at the 16:9 ratio so I'm not sure what's going on with the communication between TV and camera.»

This info is coming from an early user forwarded to me from a co-worker of mine: «(...) Well your email prompted me to get up and hook the camera up to the TV again. These are my observations: before recording the HDMI signal is definitely at 1080 and definitely running at 60 cycles per second, it is smooth and fluid and the quality looks great (it looks like 60p but then again so does the 60i...more about that later). When I hit record in 24p cinema mode it slows down to the same 24 fps rate on the screen. Whether it is outputting the same exact 24p on the sensor that is being recorded I don't know, they could be wrapping it in a 60i container like they did with the GH1 but that seems like a lot of trouble to go to for a mode they don't even offer. Now when I switch it to FSH (60i 17 Mbps) the quality goes back to that same great fluid motion I see onscreen, I certainly can't see combing or other nasty interlaced artifacts. When I play the stuff back in FHS mode though the quality does appear to have been compromised, it's not as good as the live feed was, there seems to have been some posterization and generally lower quality. I'm really surprised it's so hard to tell "real" 60i from the "fake" wrapped ones like the GH1 and Sony's have. So to answer your question, it's a definite "maybe", all I can be sure of is that HDMI out in cinema mode is refreshing at 24 fps and at 60 fps on the other modes and that they are all 1080. Hope that helps some R. UPDATE:! I forgot to mention - I tried recording at 720/60 with the HDMI cable connected and it would not let me. I had to disconnect the cable before I was able to access 720 (or mjpeg) on the menu pulldown»

«EPIC was officially declared ready for production today. We have prototypes that pass all the requirements we set out the past few months. That means we will finish the Tattoo program and put Tattoos on special jobs and begin ordering all the parts and pieces (over 18,000) to begin production. It will take a bit of time to set up the line and gather all we need, but the end is in sight. Just to be clear, not every feature is currently enabled, but the most important ones are and the build seems very stable as a foundation. We expect 95% of the features to be ready by the time production EPICs are released. This is a pretty big day. Jim» http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=51563

C'mon Keith, I would never excite myself with a beard. For your information, once my best second half and I, we both share different native languages (I don't speak her native one, she does not speak mine), we give some use experience of deploying a common tongue instead, most international english. No trouble with the grammar we use. ;)

His?! Keith, there's something wrong with your grammar again. ;)
