\nA relatively large announcement went live earlier today from RED, which as you’ll remember, made big promises for digital cinema a while ago — with equally big (and vague) timeframes. Today was a minor solidification of those timeframes, but many RED users were expecting solid shipping dates, and those didn’t happen. Instead, a change in strategy was announced, and a few brave RED owners will participate in an intensive beta program with the pre-production camera, dubbed “Tattoo.” After that, the S35, as it will be called in production, will see a wide simultaneous release, hopefully with some bugs squashed.
\n<\/span>
\nThe various “stages” amount to:
\n$28k: buy Tattoo, be in hardcore beta program, get Jim Jannard’s cell number.
\n$19.5k: buy S35, keep your RED ONE
\n$10.5k: buy S35, trade in your RED ONE
\n$28k: buy S35 (you don’t own a RED ONE)<\/p>\n

Here is the revised spec list. Of note are the internal motion sensor (good for recording metadata for adding effects later), GPS sensor, and a touchscreen electronic viewfinder (good for adjusting settings, but it also supports… touch focus tracking? -that’s not what I think it is, is it?):<\/p>\n

\nWeight (Brain only)- Approx. 6 lbs (2.72kg)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jim also posted an actual picture of a brain with grips attached still-camera-style, with a Canon EF mount. Whether they’ll actually be able to take a bite out of established still camera makers is questionable, but we’ll see.<\/p>\n

The Scarlet also gets an update, a response to serious encroachments by cameras like the 7D. Much better audio capability, increased bitrates and color accuracy, 1080p at 60FPS, and a touchscreen LCD among other things. No word on pricing or how these changes might affect it, but it’s still going to be a professional camera, not a consumer or even prosumer one, so expect it to be at least $3000.<\/p>\n

Read the whole thread here<\/a>; they’re still updating and adding pictures (they’ve added two since I started this post).<\/p>\n
