This small cinema camera is targeted at a niche audience with its $30,000 price tag. It’s still good news for all of those who produce video as technology, given enough time, tends to trickle down and become more affordable. An affordable full-frame global shutter sensor may come our way given enough years and demand. Those who shoot RED will likely find this camera interesting. They’re stating this is the worlds’ first large format global shutter camera.
This camera is an achievement and RED should be praised for that. The previous Raptor’s were and still are excellent cameras, and perhaps more will become available used now.
