New announcements over \u00a0at Reduser.net<\/a> about the updated specs of the Scarlet. Love to get my hands on these. We can expect the 2\/3″ versions May-June 2010. Scarlet S35- Summer 2010. Hurry up Summer 2010!!<\/p>\n

There are other new announcements. The new 2\/3″ mini primes look terrific are priced realistically (although would love a super wide…6mm isn’t super wide in 2\/3″ terms). There is a new super duper EVF, but is not cheap. It has it’s own heater apparently.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to fall into a negative reaction when all we get is new enhancements to cameras that have been constantly delayed. I want to stay positive and believe these, when they come out, will be worth the wait. It’s just am very impatient and will probably have a 1DmKIV by then, and if they keep delaying maybe even a 5dmKIII!!!<\/p>\n

I love all these photos of sexy gear. Have no idea how they will work ergonomically and would LOVE them to publish a photo of someone actually holding one like a camera! Not super interested in the 2\/3″ ones to be honest. It’s the S35 ones that I am really excited about.<\/p>\n

EDIT: It’s interesting how the comments section has become a debate as to the viability of VDSLRs as tools and how Scarlet will be much better. Of course it will! It just hasn’t come out yet! Tech is a like a religion to some it seems. Me, I just go with the best tool available at the time. Always have, always will.<\/p>\n

So will Scarlet kill off the VDSLR revolution. Personally I don’t see it. VDSLRs will just get better and Scarlet is higher end. Why can’t the two co-exist happily?<\/p>\n

Do read the very passionate comments below, watch the silly animation below.<\/h3>\n
