The first upgrade that RED will charge for the camera itself will be its new Monstro sensor technology. At $4500, it's considerably less than replacing a camera and will be a much more substantial breakthrough in image quality -- the primary focus seems to be increased latitude.
If you think the RED workflow is challenging, then that means that you aren't informed about the current options, once again working from old information.
Definitely working with RED requires more current hardware than an EX-1 and that can rack up the expenses on the post side.

I was referring to the F900 upgrades, not the new RED builds, which can be downloaded from the on line site.
The current concerns I hear about RED work flows are on TV projects with complex post production on very tight schedules. I expect once the industry has set up a larger infrastructure to handle RED on these productions those concerns will settle down. I suspect these refer not only to the RED, but handling any of the RAW cameras, which have their own post needs for the best results. |
