Here we are at last. RED has finally dropped the full specs of at least one its “Digital Stills and Motion Cameras.” And what did you expect? RED has naturally blown this thing out. The first camera to be released will be the insanely high-end EPIC-X, which will come out in four stages and retails for $28,000 (ouch). A pre-production “TATTOO” version will hit this year, followed by a production model for pre-existing RED owners next year, a release after that for RED trade-ins and then finally a widespread release. Meanwhile the Scarlet 2/3-inch camera (which is much more akin to current video-shooting DSLRs, though it doesn’t have a full frame sensor) hasn’t been given a price range or a release window, but promises to please with dual XLR inputs, electronic lens interoperability with RED, Canon and Nikon lenses (adapters required) and 1080p shooting at 60 fps. One great function shared between the cameras is the ability to operate the camera with a touchscreen and perform “touch focus tracking.” So, now that we’ve frightened off all but the die-hards with a hint at pricing and some vaguely defined functionality, let’s let the bullet points take it away after the break:
