One Camera to Rule Them All
This might be a bit of a stretch, but only because the only other contender for the “One Camera to Rule them All” is made by the same company: Red.
Today at NAB, Red announced another revolutionary camera. This camera (when officially released) will record up to 120 frames per second (double most other cameras), at 3K resolution (most only go to 1080p), with a 2/3″ sensor (most handhelds have a 1/3″ sensor), records using Compact Flash or HDMI or HD-SDI (most camcorders still use that thing called tape) and most of all, the price.
You see, for features like this, a camera would be $10,000 for most of these features and higher for other features (like the 3K resolution, 120 frames per second and recording to CF). This camera comes in UNDER $3,000.
This is really an exciting time to be in video production. The tools are now at a point where they are accessible to everyone and produce images that, just a few years ago, were once only obtainable by the largest big-budget films.
I’m going to report a bit more about this camera as we find out more about what it will be capable of. Their last camera, Red One, made quite a splash. No doubt this will be quite the hit as well.
