Red Scarlet Update

Red Scarlet

Gizmodo just released some new details regarding the RED Scarlet. According to sources, it looks like it should be available this summer.

This camera is going to make serious waves in the video and photography industry. With DSLR hybrids currently ranging from $5-8,000 this gives dual shooters another option and in my opinion start the decline of the DSLR’s user base. There is too much bang for your buck in this beauty. You can use any frame of it’s 60fps as a still and would have a hard time noticing the difference between it and most Pro/Pro-sumer DSLRs.

For those of you that speak video tech here are some of the specs:

* Increased REDCODE data rates
