Well the long awaited development of Red Digital Cinema’s first 4K camera is over and the camera is now officially a reality. You can read a full article about the chipping details here at FXguide. More from me later on what this all means and some of the implications for our industry. Bookmark www.Reduser.net and check there for updates as the new users put the camera through its paces and we see their test footage and clips.

Update: Unboxing, framegrabs, and the first user submitted footage (shot at night, 800-1000 ISO) in this Reduser thread. Notice the irony of the Canon HV20 in the photo above…as a Reduser commenter stated “hv20 = best sub $1000 cam ever…Red = best sub $30,000 cam ever” -MJ
