Red digital cinema camera company has been around since 2005 when it was founded by Jim Jannard the self-described camera fanatic and owns personally more than 1,000 models! Red One was first introduced in 2007 and was the company's first digital cinema production camera, it captured up to 120 frames per second at 2K resolution and 60 frames per second at 4K resolution.
In 2015 the Red DSMC2 was launched with full 8k resolution and featured an equivalent workflow. In early January 2017, the Red DSMC2 was given the highest ever sensor score by the DxOMark website. The Red DSMC2 BRAIN is capable of data write speeds of 300 MB/s, can simultaneously record in REDCODE RAW and Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR/HD and is offered with four-sensor options.
The Red DSMC2 combines advanced colour science with an incredible dynamic range. The Result is cinema quality that breathes life into your footage. The MONSTRO and HELIUM sensors take the next step in exceeding beauty offered by film – up to 17x more resolution than HD – and over 4x more than 4K.
The Red DSMC2 would go on to film Marvel Studios Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and David Fincher’s Gone Girl
The RED DSMC2 has a starting price of around USD 20,000 so I would recommend adding an extra layer of protection with a nano glass screen protector. You can watch the full RED DSMC2 reel on YouTube to get a real feel for its power!
