Sony Canikon Feel the RED SCARLET Fire
Red has released the specs of the SCARLET and EPIC Digital Still & Motion Camera (DSMC) systems. The images and specs were released on the reduser.net and included the DSLR-like configuration shown above. What, you want to shoot full-frame 35mm, oh…, no, you want to shoot in full-frame 645, ahhh, ok, you’d prefer to shoot in the digital 617 format today? NO PROBLEM. The new SCARLET and EPIC cameras are completely, 100% modular, upgradable, and fully custimizable to whatever shooting setup you want.
