RED's INCREDIBLE Full Frame Global Shutter Cinema Camera!! - RAPTOR [X] First Look

I wouldn't be surprised if it has less dynamic range in the shadows, hence worse high ISO performance. We shall see in the indepth review latitude tests. The highlight recovery looks interesting. If it is software based like the BM highlight recovery it could be very useful. If it's anything like HDRx not so much imo.

Can you help with a review of the autofocus capabilities inc focus tracking.

same like Sony A9III did, lack in detail right?

Mine will be delivered in 2 weeks! Just in time for my surf expedition! Good Times.

You guys have such good content that you don't need to do the SUPERLATIVES in ALL CAPS and multiple exclamation point thing!!

Wow people should buy that instead of komodo x!!

$5k for the evf is crazy. Stupid crazy

Just imagine buying the original V Raptor first.

Thank you - lots of solid information imparted in 5 minutes! Question - can EVF be used simultaneously with RED 7 inch DSMC3 monitor or SmallHD 5 inch with camera control? Appreciate your thoughts.

Talk to me when they come to the table with internal ND’s.. until then, they’re idiots who don’t listen to their user base.

Many KOMODO Users suffer a dead SDI Port when they connected their camera to DC Power. Does the RAPTOR have the same issue?

I can't wait to see you guys test the extended highlights under stress conditions such as fast moving subjects, fast camera movement, and high ISO. I would also love to see a side by side with regular V-Raptor to test regular dynamic range, detail, and noise. Please compare ISO 3200 up to 12,800 side by side so we can see how the noise in the shadows looks. An audio comparison would also be nice! Because the preamps on V-Raptor are horrendous. I can't believe they even bothered having an XLR option. Lastly, is the sensor stitched or is it whole? In your video, I can't see a stitch line like you can when you look at the V-Raptor sensor.

God that image is so beautiful

That extended highlights mode looks very impressive! I’d love to learn more about how it works technically.

I wish RED would make a micro cam like the Black magic micro.

😁😁😂😂😂

Highlight recovery is great, but lowlight performance is the real game right now. How’s it do in the shadows?

Hey guys. How is the image compared to the the Alexa Mini LF and 35?

at what point in your filming would you ever whip pan the camera like this? yes it could happen but highly unlikely

Does RED have any uncompressed codec options at this point?

this is so hilarious to me. the name you're cvp then me vcp. oh hello brother. haha nice to meet you mate. haha we love color red then we love red cam, very interesting cinematic cam.

Footage looks like Video. Phenomenal video …. Way to clean and smooth for narrative. I like a bit of ‘judder’…. This is to close to a frame interpolation look. The soap opera effect.

For the price extra you can buy the URSA Mini and also have global shutter and even a second camera for free.

I'm VERY interested to see how RED have implemented the EH mode and what the drawbacks are. Does it hold up in moving subjects? How does it work under the hood? I will be watching the dynamic range benchmarks closely

If framerate options are reduced, I'm curious if that means that there are motion artifacts like Arri's extended sensitivity option does. Otherwise maybe it's just slow like the C70's readout is slow, but it's crazy if they've implemented a sensor that really has so many stops before photosite saturation

If every camera on earth had rolling shutter and it was present in every film ever made, it wouldn’t make any difference.

disappointing, the same copy of the dsmc2 hdrx function, not even an in camera combination😢😢

I always liked the raptor over the Alexa. It’s just a user friendly, light weight power house. But the new Raptor X competes with Alexa 35 fr! Complete outdoor shoots, Alexa’s are better, but with global shutter, and EH for extra dynamic range will make it the superior camera. Raptor murders Alexa in low light and now has similar dynamic range… Good bye Arri

Wow still 16 stops of dynamic range!!

So they made an EVF for all compatible new RED cameras expect for the original Komodo? Smh. 🤦🏿‍♂️🙄

QUESTION: for Extended Highlight mode, is it available in ProRes or only in R3D? It makes sense that the data rate is doubled, like how the Alexa 35 needs the additional bits for its DR. But I'm curious what's the best DR you can get on the Raptor-X in 4K ProRes using the full sensor width. If you could post a table of formats and data rates for EH mode, that would be great. As always, THANK YOU for this great work.

I love watching reviews about things I cannot afford. Great video BTW :)

7 stop overexposed and you can still use the footage in EH mode is insane 😲

Please remember that with this tool you should be able to sell services that will leave you enough revenue to get your investment back in short time.

I remember when I got scared of spending 10K In a camera, now I charge enough to buy them.

It’s all about patience and keep pushing forward.

Excited for the 5" touchscreen monitor soon hopefully. The 7" is WAY too big for the Komodo-X.

Red works really hard bringing new cameras every year unlike canon still waiting for r1. 😂

I wish people would stop using RED cameras. If no one buys their stuff then they will have to stop making cameras and close up shop. Then finally the film industry can breathe!

As always lots of hype over an overpriced toy

Hey there? What is low light like on this camera? What's the native Iso, and how much can you push it?

The image quality is stunning.

What an incredible camera! The dynamic range of this camera is at least on par with an Arri Alexa now!

Isn't the extended highlights just HDRx? Just marketed under a new name as a new feature. 😑 Good that it's there again finally, but hyping it up like some mega new feature seems a bit over the top. We used this as far back as the Epic Mysterium X.

CVP, Thank you for posting this! Even on RED's own website I couldn't find anything on exactly what "Extended Highlights" meant. Leave it to you to post the ins and outs on day one. This looks INCREDIBLE.

I wonder who made the sensor it can’t be Sony for sure!!

The Arri era of dominance has officially died, finally!

This is why Sony announced world's first FF global shutter. Also it's funny when everyone is questioning A9III 15 stop of dynamic range and identical dynamic range to other Sony cameras but if it's RED then no questions asked😂.
