Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
It was nearly a year ago that we got our first tease of the RED Hydrogen One smartphone. The Verge is now reporting that the Android-based phone will be coming to AT&T and Verizon this August (It was previously planned for a Q1 release). [Read more…]
MKBHD posted an exclusive first look and hands-on with the RED Hydrogen One smartphone (embedded above). What we got about a month ago were incredible feature bulletpoints and a single rendered image of the phone. Now, we are getting to see quite a bit more in this video with a full mockup of what the phone should look like when comes to market.
What we don’t see is what exactly the holographic display looks like. We see Marques’ reaction and he seems to be impressed. However, the device he’s viewing is much larger than the compact mockup he’s holding at the beginning of the video. According to Marques, RED expects to have a working prototype to show off in the next couple of months.
B&H is now stocking a range of RED products, including the RED EPIC-W with Helium 8K sensor for $29,500 and the Scarlet-W with Dragon 5K sensor for $12,500.

In what is probably the wildest thing I have seen thus far at NAB 2013, RED has built a ridiculous clean room for its engineers to perform Dragon camera builds on the show floor – complete with windows for spectators to watch the magic happen.
For a little background, EPIC and SCARLET owners also have the option to upgrade their cameras’ sensors to the 6K Dragon sensor for around $10k. The upgrade program has finally begun with quite the spectacle here at NAB 2013. The EPIC-M Dragon starts at $29k.
Check out the rest of the images below for a closer look at this impressive process. [Read more…]
Round 2 ladies and gentlemen.
Recall a couple months back when RED initiated suit against Sony for patent infringement by Sony’s F65, F55 and F5 cinema cameras. RED wanted to literally have Sony’s cameras pulled from shelves and destroyed.
Now, it’s Sony’s turn.
On the eve of NAB 2013, Sony released a statement that it has filed suit against RED for infringing on seven of its patents. [Read more…]
