RED's New Digital Stills and Motion Camera Pushing the Limits

rallymatte writes to mention that camera maker RED has announced a new digital stills and motion camera system that includes one model that can shoot up to 28K at 25 fps. The new system will come in three tiers: Scarlet, Epic, and their top of line model which won't be out until possibly 2010. Still image capture will range anywhere from 4.9 megapixels to an insane 261 megapixels. In addition to some impressive 'traditional' hardware, RED also announced a 3D camera.

Grammar nazi!

wont =/= won't. If you are wont to rely overmuch upon the spell checker, you won't ever write properly. Also, do the names of the three tiers really begin with lowercase letters?

It is a temperature! 28 Kelvin, or -409 degrees Fahrenheit. Fuck! That camera is ICE COLD!!!

28 Kelvin.

The superconductors used in the camera only work when it's really, really cold outside.

If you buy one of the first 1000, though, they give you a free pair of gloves.

Depends on who was in the shot...

Yes, but who would print something like that at 200dpi? You want at least 600dpi.

So, at 600dpi, about 4 feet by 1.3 feet. Still pretty damn big.
