04 Sep 2008Hey guys, just been doing some research recently into camera gear, and found this little piece of awsomness.
Check it out, been out a while but i only just found it

It can record of resolutions around 4096x2048 and your looking at a budget of below £50,000!!! Way better quality that some of the serious studio equipment i seen on the market for £100,000+. Soon they are releasing the 9k version! Thats insane resolutions of 9000x4000 area. Best thing is that the full kit comes with all required adaptors so you can put on all your nikon/cannon prime lenses for that insane dof/detail.

Some stuff shot on the RED camera system - checkout the other films people have submitted to that group. My dream to work with stuff like this haha.
Trying to convert work into buying one - maybe one day

Ive been after same effect on our Sony PDW-F355 and Sony EX-1 the best thing i can come up with that provides similar results allowing you to attach your nikon/cannon 35mm lenses is the Letus35 Extreme and Letus35 Ultimate.

05 Sep 2008I've got a friend who has one, and after spending some time shooting footage with him, all I can say is wow, it shoots beautiful footage, and the resolution isn't bad either, quite a pricetag though for a camera that doesn't have a lens that comes with it.

05 Sep 2008The quality of those vimeo clips is bloody incredible. Could easily pass for hi-quality film.

05 Sep 2008I actually think this camera is bloody cheap for the price considering what it can do. We just spent about 20k on Sony PDW-F355 setup. For the same price we could of picked up one of these, only thing is the RED is not as practical for on location shooting as id like.
Best thing is you can get a Nikon or Cannon adaptor and attach your 35mm lenses and i know for sure i have a nice collection of primes and telephoto ect, so wouldnt really need to bother with the lens setup. The awsome thing about this camera is that its 100% customisable, you can purchase new handles, different mounts for the LCD, and all of them attach to the camera in any way you want. Say you wanted the LCD in a different area, no problem just unlatch it and reattach it elsewere on the camera.
A few motion pictures been shot using RED already, the film Jumper was shot using RED, that was pretty impressive filming.
