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.

I love cars. I have been enamored with Ken Block’s Gymkhana series ever since it started a few years ago. What is Gymkhana, you ask? It is a few glorious minutes of magnificent hooning by a pro driver in a killer car and on a ridiculous course made of real-world locations. The latest edition takes place on the streets of Los Angeles.
What does that have to do with photography?
100 GoPro HERO cameras. Drones. RED EPIC cameras. The kind of stuff camera geeks are made of. [Read more…]

The 36MP full frame Nikon D800E has been the top dog sensor according to DxO Mark since the camera was first tested back in February 2012.
