Super-duper Cameras: RED One

Ahhh, what an interesting time it is for RED One owners and enthusiasts. I am an enthusiast and will remain one until I make the next great Indie film that gets me major much or someone gives me one (and the editing system to support it). Cos lets just face facts – despite the fact that this camera is the most incredible and best prices camera in it’s domain – it is hectically expensive and requires a hectic editing setup to support and finish.
But having said that, RED is coming out with slightly less hectic and more affordable options – more about that and the interesting things that is RED later.

Camera Body $17500

Look to spend closer to $50k for kitting out this baby. But even with a pack of RED Primes and the best MacPro, RAID, Graphics setup – it is still very well priced – in.its.play.park.
All right let take a look at some spec candy. For the full effect of specification glazing see here.

There are various different output and acquisition formats, as well as different available frame rates. Quite awesome really.
I had the privilege to edit some 4k footage from the OpenCut Competition last year – wow.
