The RED Digital Film Cameras' Spec Lists Are As Big As Their Prices

We've drooled over accessories for RED's digital still and motion cameras, but now we've got specs for the actual DSMCs. No release dates yet, but looks like the EPIC-X with it's $28,000 price will come first. Updated:: Lotsa pictures.

The first of the two models we're being teased with is the incredibly high-end EPIC-X which will be released in four stages, beginning with a pre-production model dubbed TATTOO and ending with the wide-spread final release model. The details explain the $28,000 price tag:

The other temptress is the Scarlet 2/3-inch, which is 'more akin to current video-shooting DSLRs, though it doesn't have a full frame sensor.' As with the EPIC-X, there's no release date given. There are some great specs though:

* Increased REDCODE data rates

Word is that there'll be more information at the end of the month, but that won't stop us from already fantasizing about what to do with the cameras.

FANCY Adn GAUDI Video Cameras

FANCY Adn GAUDI Video Cameras

Green-house certainly picked a rather apt name for its GAUDI video cameras, though we’re not too sure about FANCY. Based on the exterior, it’s most likely that these video cameras are aimed at the fairer sex. They certainly are not slouches in the feature department though, as they’re capable of shooting 720p HD videos in the H264 format, and even take pictures up to 3200 x 2400 resolution. The 128MB internal memory is kind of useless, but the good news is that you can always beef it up with an SDHC memory card up to 32GB. There’s also a matching pouch to go with it, so at least you won’t have to shop around for one.
