The good people at RED came by the office today and gave us a new Scarlet X to mess around with. It takes gorgeous, über-HD video at 4096 x 2160. It's also their cheapest offering, coming in at around $10k, depending on options.
RED's bona fides are impressive, the upcoming Hobbit movie is shot on their cameras. If they're good enough for Jackson and Soderbergh, they're good enough for us.
It looks boss. We're gonna take it for a spin this weekend and let you know how it goes. Stay tuned.
