@MikeLinn Shouldn't the Red Weapon stuff be in it's own thread? I realize Raven shares part of the sensor tech but that isn't always indicative of the overall quality delivered in a camera's image.

Wow.. The Arri Alexa highlight recovery is really special it certainly outshines the Red Weapon & Dragon. Didn't think there would be such a difference.

For a company that relies on preorders and direct sales as their sales model this type of slick polished video makes since. For others it is less/not important as they have a strong channel the will help sell their new product offering.
Personally, I don't trust these prerelease videos as representative of the way I shoot or post process. I do trust the community at large to show what the camera can do in the hands of the every man with the common tools and work flows I have access to.
My main discision making tool is the comparison videos after the product is released. I'm not Red's target audience because I'm not a Red believer who buys on spec and slick promo videos. That said, if it is truly a better product solution (including post processing requirements) and a reasonable value as compared to the competition, I am all in (once it is vetted by the community).

@nomad that is true, which begs the question: why don't other companies do the same thing. They try but never seem to have the same level of production talent.

With cinematic lighting and professional makeup artists, costume designers, props and some smoke machines you can make nearly any camera look good… Were they really challenging the Raven ? I hope not!
