The Best Cinema Camera of 2023?

Показать описание

In this video we revisit the RED Epic Dragon. A camera that was ahead of it's time in 2014, might be just perfect for indie filmmaking in 2023!!!

As an LF and Helium owner, I still say the Dragon is the best sensor period. I currently use both my Dragons for mid range budget streaming series and EVERY director and producer, even the Alexa dogmatics, genuinely love the image. Every camera has some minor drawbacks, Dragon IS NOT an 800iso camera with the low-light OLPF. It’s 320iso. Keep that in mind, use some lights, and it will never fail. Best. Sensor. Ever. The dude in this video is correct: Invest your coin into a $2-$4K Epic Dragon and go shoot a cinema movie.

am I the only one just looking at the Cooke Lenses?

It's insane that you can actually create a high-end production with this budget. The image is absolutely amazing.
You say, you are with money left for buying some accessories. I'd say you can save for buying some awesome lenses.

Yes! People don’t realize how great the dragon sensor is, and how many beautiful things have been shot with it. Everything you need for shooting high level stuff…especially the epic versions with higher frame rates.

Yesterday we just got one of this and then this amazing review, that's the truth. We are having FX6, but the RED - OMG, much better for post.

I'm picking one up within the next week. I've had the Scarlet and Epic MX, the Scarlet Dragon, and now finally the king of the DSMC1. Can't wait!

Not all second hand offers are around the mentioned price range. Plus they mostly sell body only. You still have to buy their expensive storage and monitor etc. Better off with other options imo. Especially for a one mand or even 2 man band. But cheers for the content.

Great review! I had no idea the dragon 6k sensor was that large. Now I'm interested in picking up one of those kippertie olpfs!

Great video Mike! I wish red would make a version of a 6k camera that didn’t take 30 seconds to boot and with internal ND.

Proud to own this camera. In addition to my Komodo’s. Just shot on my Dragon 6K yesterday!

End of Life camera stood out for me.

Nab 2023 is approaching (April 15-19).

FACTS!!! also, komodos frame rate sucks that's why I bought a used DSMC2

JosueEscogido

Yeah the dragon sensor is great but I don’t think the DSMC 1 is that reliable as you’ve mentioned. My epic died out of nowhere and I ve seen more problems especially with the older reds than I would have like to. AND these are NOT serviceable anymore so if something goes wrong you have an expensive paperweight.

Your DEUS jacket is 🔥. I need one asap. Happy Easter! 🙏🏼 Have been spending my Easter weekend deciding on which production camera to build a kit from. First it was the Sony FX3, thereafter the RED Komodo. After that, the Komodo X. Budget wise my max is 15k. Not much but whichever camera I decide upon will be my first cine camera to shoot with.

Your review of the Red Epic Dragon did it for me. A perfect introduction to the RED family for a beginner like myself. What you shot had me feeling this RED, and I am only 4:25 into your review. I’ll watch the remaining twelve minutes and then day dream the rest of the day. Thank you!

Thanks to this video I decided to compare the Epic Dragon. I had had Blackmagic and this network is another story. My kit is complete + a Zeis 85mm CP2 and a Freefly Movie Pro
