Kris Prygrocki of Red US gave me a nice demo of the brand-new Red Dragon camera at IBC.
___
Here are my notes:
Dragon sensor is 10% larger than the Mysterium-X
Dragon sensor diagonal is 34.5mm versus 29 mm for the Mysterium-X
(35mm full frame is 40.5mm)
– This means there will less cropping if you shoot anamorphic than with the Epic
Dragon’s photosites are 5 microns wide versus 5.4 microns on the Epic
Dragon ASA is around 1500
Dragon dynamic range is “16+ stops” versus Mysterium-X “13.5 stops”
– One wonders how you get more dynamic range with smaller photosites
Dragon compression ratios go from 3:1 to 17:1
Dragon maximum output is a 6144 x 3160 16-bit lin image
If you want to match the 5K Epic’s field of view
you should set Dragon at 5.5K because its photosensors are smaller

Any errors are mine, not Kris’ and any corrections are most welcome
