I said “current DSLRs”. If anyone thinks that the current DSLRs are capable of RAW video with just a simple firmware update, that’s truely foolish…

Anyone in tune with the current DSLRs and their technical limitations should know better. Very stupid April Fools for very stupid people 😉

Oohhhh…I like 🙂 Has anyone used one of these?
Too bad it’s in back order.

I encourage u to still look around though. Marshal is a nice little company, and they do have a nice range foe field/on-board camera monitors. While 800×480 isn’t ideal, it would have to work if that’s what u can afforde at the moment.
Key thing is, do some jobs with what u got, then use that money to start saving up for better things.

This is what I have.
Better rez, with things like false color to help you out. Heaftier price too, just about the same price of the 7D, but dont let that fact steer you awa from a very important peice of equiptment.

Ehhhh…affordable yes. Good for focusing? Not at all. With only 800×480, getting that crit focus the 7D is going to be hard to get with that rez. Remember, you’re dealing with 1080-freakin-p footage here with a camera that can produce DOF as thin as the side of a dime.
In this case, I would say cheaper is not better :'(

Denny…I wouldn’t sell your EX1 until you get your 5DM2 and do some homework with it. HD-DSLRs have a ton of issues with video that some may not know about. I’m not saying that there isn’t workarounds for these issues. Many ppl have developed techniques to get these HD-DSLR to work for them, but still. I would advise to just play around with your 5D and all your lenses, and see if you really want to go that route.

Exactly Joel. My point exactly in my original reply. Buy, rent, borrow, steal (jking!) what you can, and use it! All cameras are comes down to one simple fact. They are all tools, in which you use to tell a story. If you have the taste for a camera that’s worth more then a new car, let alone all the accessories that’s worth a few more thousands of dollars…THEN getting a post workflow that can handle 4k/2k nicely…then by all means get yourself a Red One.
But at the same time, I’ve seen lovely 5D and 7D work that whisked my breath away.

Okay, in the spirit of the subject of this thread (comparing the Red One to the 5D and 7D), the Red camera is virtually uncompressed compared to the H.264 codec.
I’m not 100% sure, but when rating a codec lossy or lossless, is it in the terms of mathematical data, or picture quality? If it’s picture quality, I consider it virtually lossless/uncompressed. If it’s in mathematical terms, then yes, it is lossy/compressed.
Maybe it would have been best to have said visually instead of virtually to avoid the confusion?

IMO, the Red One will always win with quality of footage, simply due to the codec that is used. Files are created RAW…which means virtually no compression, and extra data/info that let’s post production have control over the image dramatically. Plus it’s 4K…not 1080p
Yes, technically the MK2 had a much larger sensor, but it will never give you RAW data/footage. The H.264 codec is nice, and the camera still gives very nice images even at 1080p size, but it doesn’t compare to the Red One.
The 7D is nice, and it can do over/under crank in post (plus it’s sensor is very near in size to the Red One), but still, won’t compete.
Kinda disappointed in people when they try to compare these cameras. Hands down, the Red One will win every time in my books…IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT. But simply, all 3 are just tools in your arsenal. Get what you can afford and do your job!
If you shoot crap, no matter the resolution or DOF, or any specialness you may try to apply, you are just polishing a turd 🙂
