OT: Anyone know anything about "Red"?

Very powerful new name in video. Flexible, modular, affordable cameras that write RAW.

 

RED / Index

 

If you, like me, aren't up to snuff on video, check out Michael Reichmann's excellent introduction: Understanding Video.

 

Additional info referenced by the LuLa article: Analog Meets Its Match in Red Digital Cinema's Ultrahigh-Res Camera.

 

Summary of what's up with RED, from same source:

The RED One camera, introduced in 2007, represents a revolution in video production technology. It is a 4K camera (meaning that it has 4,000 pixels on its wide dimension) using a 24.4 X 13.7mm 12 Megapixel sensor. Yes, 12MP. And, it produces raw video, one of the few cameras under $100,000 that does.

 

There's much to be said about the RED One, and a bit of web research will show that it has taken independent film producers by storm.

I think Leica should adopt RED'S customer service dictum:

 

"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone with a bad attitude" Should clean out some of the riff-raff (Wink!)

 

Cool modular design that reminds me of the original Nikon F system - swap finders, grips, mounts, memory, lenses to build a studio camera or a field camera or a small hand-holdable all based around the same imaging core.
