Red Raven

[Santiago Martí]

I’m going with a Raven, selling my FS7 combo with raw output and convergent design 7q+ with licenses to get a Raven. I love Red’s Raw and I got tired of Sony menues and problems with raw output and convergent design.

But what about that FS5?

I’m not really in the market, but that form factor is calling me : ) Just seems like a great grab and shoot camera for a doc (or a lot of tight handheld work)

The camera price race to the bottom is mind blowing.

How hard is it going to be to sell high end cameras with these undercutting you.

Uf, yes, camera prices are going down, and the problem is: some camera manufacturers release their cameras way after they are announced!

That is not the case with Sony.

The FS5 is a good camera, i’ve already try it, bit it’s internal codec is 8bit 4:2:0, and I want to stay away from external recorders, wich you need to get 10bit from this camera. Form factor and variable ND is great on the FS5, but I still prefer Red’s Raw and prores in the same card. EF only mount is the only thing I don’t like, but I can live with it. Fs7 + CD 7Q+ looses too many shots, and that is not negotiable.
