8K sensors went from being an often joked about fantasy to an industry-standard in no time. With a 34.5 Megapixel CMOS sensor, 16.5+ stops of dynamic range, and RED’s RAW workflow, you’d be hard-pressed to get a bad image out of this camera. RED’s DSMC2 modular body style allows the user to attach any number of cable-less peripherals for full studio-style builds, but in minutes the body can be completely stripped down for gimbal work and anywhere that space and weight-savings are a priority. I consider RED the LEGO of the cinema world– simple, modular, endless configurations with a very approachable interface for first-time users.
