“DSLR-killer” from RED

20/9/2008

if you have nor idea what a “red” movie camera is then head over to red.com

anyway, the dude who created red cameras posted on the red user forums the following:

“We believe, and are developing for late 2009, a replacement for DSLRs. Currently, we call it a DSMC (Digital Still & Motion Camera).

While (insert code name) is not a replacement for Epic or Scarlet, it is strategically targeted at the DSLR space. As Nikon and Canon release their 720P and 1080P, respectively, DSLRs with video capture… RED has a more advanced view of the future. We look forward to rapidly pushing the “big guys” along in feature sets and capabilities.

RED firmly believes in higher resolution, higher S/N, higher DNR, higher frame rates, smaller bodies, more system flexibility, and many more options as we move forward in camera development.

The strength of RED is in our sensor development program, REDCODE, and having no legacy platforms to deal with. That left us free to explore, develop and prepare to deliver a new platform. DSMC…….. I won’t comment on any specifics until the 1st of the year. But “revolution” applies more to this than the RED ONE did to cinema.

WOW! This is very very interesting.
