Functional RED EPIC in the Wild
The EPIC was announced by RED in November 2008, with an estimated availability date of Summer/Fall 2009. Now that we’re pushing Summer 2010, some pre-production models are finally starting to surface. The Bui Brothers got some hands-on time with a pre-production RED EPIC at Cine Gear 2010.

RED Announces More Details on Scarlet and EPIC, No Actual Cameras Though ’til Next Year . . . Maybe
We’ve been living with the great RED hype for over a year now since word of the cameras first leaked out (intentionally) and were eventually announced on November 13, 2008.
Since the announcement, RED has provided periodic updates or teasers about the new products; however, no actual products have been delivered. Earlier this week, RED announced more official details concerning the Scarlet and EPIC cameras in its forum, which is their typical modus operandi.
The short of it? [Read more…]

RED Scarlet and EPIC
“A DSMC is a camera that shoots stills and motion. Configure that camera any way you want. Select a brain. Configure your body.”

Red Scarlet and Epic Announcements on November 13
Red always stirs the pot when news of something new from the company comes along.
We will announce the new Scarlet and Epic programs on Thursday Nov. 13th.
I want to say that no one has any idea how incredible this announcement will be. Call this hype… please. I am quite sure that the announcement will be called a “scam”. Should be a lot of fun to hear the reactions. I can’t wait.

Rumors of RED Competition for D90
RED, the company known for its ‘future-proof’ camcorders, will be adding a DSLR line, according to comments made by Jim Jannard on the company’s forums.
Jannard’s comments focused on RED’s next generation Mysterium “Monstro” sensor. Monstro will be offered as a free upgrade to the Mysterium-X piece shipping in Epic, but is also slated for a new DSLR camera. Further hints seem to indicate that RED’s new DSLR is meant to compete with the Nikon D90 — it seems likely that the camera will shoot both stills and motion.
At a guess, a RED DSLR would at least have adapters for Nikon and Canon lenses, but we’ll have to wait and see.
