I’m waiting anxiously for the rest of the movie.

The camera & video inspired me! Literally just held one yesterday and it just felt right. I can relate 100% when you talked about photography being an avenue and film making being your true passion. This video really helped me really want to go full throttle with my film making journey. Thank you.

Love your video's, this is such a refreshing way of doing camera reviews!

I can see the excitement in your eyes brother. Good for you I’m so pumped for you man

Holy moly, hot damn bud. That was possibly the best done KZread video I've ever seen, let alone camera review! Keep up the amazing work.

The shotgun shots, with you running, and ducking down, are so freaking cool. I'm like - is this a movie???

“Expanded wider and more open” are great adjectives for the image. The best description i have heard to describe the difference and these are exactly the kind of adjectives worth hearing rather than “awesome” or “cinematic” which is so often the preferred adjective of many camera reviews and Red themselves. Appreciated in every way.

I really like this camera from what I have seen so far. I have recently decided to step away from client based work and step into the world of narrative cinematography and I think this could be the camera for me.

@@cammackey never tried any RED cameras, but for me, the best colours and image quality from a sensor I've seen is actually out of the Sigma FP. Beats all the Sony cams hands down. But since it's an L mount, I don't have any glassI can use for it. The Z mount has the shortest flange distance of any cameras so there are no mounts for it to be able to put on the Sigma. This video definitely peaked my interest in RED.

FX line doesn’t need global shutter tho, it was one of the fastest sensors out there in the consumer pricing bracket. I don’t think most need global shutter haha. But it is great to have!

did you ever try the sony f55? having owned red, arri, sony and canon cinema cameras - the red is easily the most expensive based solely on all the extras you need to buy. it’s one thing if you own a bunch of extra items for whatever reason, but if you don’t, red is always going to be the most expensive at this price point to start shooting with.

Braw just goes so much harder than my a74 for the projects that warrant it.
