Re: Red Silent Camera?

Well, OK.

But I have to tell you that if I was one of the dozens of guys who've posted that they were holding projects (and their breath) for the arrival of Red One - and if it had showed up with something as PRIMARY as audio recording unimplemented, I'd be really disappointed.

That plus the price creep - 17k for a base - but with a real functional system (lens, rails, cage, power, storage, etc. etc. adding a minimum of 10k and up to 25k MORE, I'd be a little miffed that I couldn't take it out and shoot sync sound like we'd expect from ANY Sony or Canon cam.

Again, I'm not negating what it IS. Just expressing disappointment that it appears targeted (at least in it's first iteration) at the full blown double system MOVIE producer set and not AT ALL at the regular produciton crowd, who I don't think will find an easy way to make it pay off in the short run if they're saddled with having to shoot EVERYTHING double-system.

Again, just my opinion - but after all the waiting and hype, the lack of basic audio was a HUGE surprise for me.
