December 3rd Scarlet Update
It looks like the fixed-lens scarlet will cost less than $4,000. Amazing. The newest brochure to come from RedUser.net shows this model in two variations; one with a brain and lens, and the so-called “complete package.”
My guess is that the complete package will give you some kind of viewfinder or LCD screen, compact flash recording module, a battery, and maybe the REDhandle. The difference between this version and the brain/lens version is only $750. Prices aren’t listed for those items, but it does seem a little hard to believe that you could get all of that for less than $1,000.
Then again, we are talking about a sub-$10k camera that shoots at 3K. So I guess anything goes at this point. I can’t get over how exciting all of this is though. The two cheapest Scarlet models look like they’re going to turn a lot of heads. The price alone should make even the most die-hard Sony/Canon/Panasonic fans pause a moment while their heads explode. These things are going to be everywhere.
Also, what is this? Will I be able to drive my Scarlet? Please say yes.
I want that car/camera.
