Red

This is one badass camera, the Red One. It's designed for shooting movies, and can record in lossless 4K resolution in RAW direct to flash memory. It uses a 35mm full-frame sensor so lenses have the same magnification as a Super-35 film camera. Since the Red One doesn't use film it can be much smaller than a traditional movie camera while accepting industry-standard lenses.

 

Since Star Wars Episode II: Attack of The Clones in 2002, which used the Sony CineAlta camera at 1K HD resolution (1920x1080), more and more movies are being shot digitally every year.

 

The Red One is getting rave reviews due to it's high resolution and good color reproduction. If you've seen The Social Network, or The Green Zone, or District 9, you've experienced the Red One. Next up is Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

 

Ahh but Red has an even more awesome camera Called Red Epic, that has sensor sizes up to medium format and 28K resolution! They run $50,000 a piece (body only), which seems like a big bag of cash and is admittedly twice the price of the Red One, but paltry compared to a Panavision film camera. Of course, you can't buy those, you rent them, but...

 

The first movie released from a Red Epic capture will be The Amazing Spiderman. The Hobbit is also using them.
