pss reacted to Andrew Reid in Here's the best wide angle lens in the world for Blackmagic Cinema Camera MFT - Zeiss 8mm T1.3 Ultra Prime
Nice comment on Facebook... Somebody said the Blackmagic sucks because of the sensor size. This guy replied well...Says it all doesn't it!?
"[color=#333333][font='lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=2][left][background=rgb(237, 239, 244)]Yeah having real 1080p with 13 stops of dynamic range in 12bit 4:2:2 RAW or 10bit 4:2:2 ProRes sucks so bad when you can shoot pristine real 720p soft macroblocked unfocusable 8bit 4:2:0 compressed h264 on a 5D MarkIII for just $500 more!"[/background][/left][/size][/font][/color] -

Don't know if this was posted somewhere else already, cause I don't read everything:

What do you think?
My 2 cents: Silly story, some rolling shutter, apparently no noise problems.

saw this before....hard to tell anything from this....i can only look at this as a complete waste of time and money....light is horrible, flat, there is no mood, unless you like latin soap, every shot and set up looks unbelievably unimaginative to me, i feel bad about the actors, the story? is....what?why? who decided to do this and get people involved, was anyone paid to do this...i don't get it at all....
although i really don't like the grading either (again, no mood, no tone, nothing....) the image looks clean and crisp....
this could have been shot available light, handheld with a 5DII and it should have looked better.... -

Any chance you can elaborate? I like to know more about what you cam across using the scarlet.

a couple of things turned me off the scarlet and made me cancel my order...
crop factor....the red sensor gets smaller and smaller as you shoot higher frame rates....that concept is just strange to me but it goes right along with the second issue i have with red....the higher and higher raw compression they use to get higher frame rates....a lot of the footage from the scarlet would have been highly compressed from a small portion of the sensor.....since i want to use the stills as well this just would not work for me.....
don't get me wrong: the EPIC is great and the stills are great as well....yes, i am not too happy with the raw compression there either, but 5k makes up for a lot....
another issue: a proprietary raw format locks you in with RED....the BMCC uses an open standard and from the first day on i have several options to find whatever works best for me.....
another big issue to be honest: price....i ordered the brain for 10000? and to be able to start shooting would have been another (realistically) 10000....selling SSDs and batteries with such a huge markup leaves a bad taste....
i can get 2 BMCCs, more then enough SSDs and some other gear for the price of a scarlet body (sorry, brain)...and i am pretty sure from what i have seen comparing raw files from both, the BMCC wins for a beautiful and detailed image....
the scarlet is a perfect back up for someone already invested in red....i do not see why anyone would get a scarlet over a BMCC right now....
