After having owned a V-Raptor FF Vista Vision for a while, this is a first look at the new RED V-Raptor S35 in comparison to the RED Helium S35. In my work as a wildlife filmmaker the RED Helium has been my go-to camera for many years, paired with the Canon CINE-SERVO 50-1000mm T5.0-8.9 PL lens. Now RED has come out with the V-Raptor S35 and I wanted to do an initial side-by-side comparison to mainly understand the difference in ISO performance and the sensor size (crop factor in comparison to Helium ) and what that would mean for future lens choices.
I am also discussing the Canon CN-E 30-300mm T2.95-3.7 L SP PL lens that now does NOT have the vignetting problem with the V-Raptor S35 even if one is recording in full 8k resolution.
