Had a nice seafood dinner in Lamma and catch up with Ted and Ryan from Red today. Both the Epic and “Bomb” Electronic View Finder look smaller in person, and feel small and good when held in one’s hands. Looking forward to getting my hands on mine! The smallest Epic configuration with a good Canon zoom that does auto-focus is going to be amazing. It was great to see Ted in great shape and hang out. He’s off on travels to a bunch of other stops in Asia, including India and Japan.
In case you haven’t heard or read about all the new details of Scarlet, Epic and Red Ray, etc. (including new details on specs and dates) check out:
- The “Nov 30 announcement” on reduser.net and aggregated followup posts.
- red centre’s Podcast # 51 with an interview with Ted on the 30 Nov announcement (hours before he flew out here to Asia).
Very exciting news – you must have been over the moon to be able to handle EPIC. Did they have any of the new airplane-friendly batteries with them?
Yes, very cool! About twice the size and heft of a 7D–and images will be much better! They didn’t have the new batteries with them.
