The details of the RED DSMC (Digital Still & Motion Camera) will be announced at the end of this year.

Given the announcements and release of still cameras from "others" that now shoot video, RED is excited to enter this game. From our vantage point, it is a lot easier to enter the still market from a motion background than visa-versa. The biggest issue that needs to be solved by the still capture group is skew... slow read-reset of CMOS imagers. This "typical" CMOS issue shows itself by moving the camera during motion capture. It is seen as "jelly movement". Red has overcome this issue with a rapid read-reset CMOS sensor program. The Monstro Mysterium sensor is the fastest read-reset CMOS known to man enjoying the same motion characteristics as a film camera.

What's that link for? Made me sign up to photobucket, yet still nothing. Just saw the 5DMkII and while I was going to jump on that, the announcement of the DSMC has made me wait. Plus all my money is going to you for 3208!
 
Not sure what happened to the link. I'll check.

Online pushing for stills/video combo

Online pushing for stills/video combo

Hi Jim,

had a photographer from the Age in Melbourne check out our Red Ones for photo/video combo. Not too practical...There's a growing push from their paper for them to be multimedia journos and deliver both assets - stills and video - to the papers/websites. This multi-skilling push will only get stronger as online takes more and more eyeballs from the papers. Just wanted to say their looking for solutions now.

Thanks for all the hard work.

cheers,
Michael
 
Jim you really know how to torment us! Can you tell us if the camera will be good enough to turn out 1080P video?...c'mon, toss us a crumb ;)
 
I have to say that I am very surprised that these "big guys" would release a camera that shoots "motion" with this kind of defect. It sounds really good on paper, but many will actually buy these cameras and believe that you can shoot motion with them.

If we can't meaningfully move something forward... we won't do it.

yes, of course, that's a given..... but this is still cruel....this must be like doing time in the slammer, waiting, tick tock tick tock... ;)
 
I always wondered if this was going to be a problem with the recorded image on these cameras. It's always been a killer on "live view" on my D300... it's a bummer to see that it translated into their recording on the D90. Glad to hear the still cameras won't be like that...

Imagine what you have always dreamed of... :-)

For me I'll wait as long as it takes for the DSMC Red camera to come out before I upgrade from my 40D. Plus I need to wear the shutter into the ground doing timelapse on that one anyway to feel right about buying another camera. Really looking forward to this years NAB.
 
You guys need to watch the video samples on DPREVIEW.COM! I cannot believe Canon is using these as marketing materials.

The video looks very over-sharpened with horrible colorimetry - almost like HD cell phone video!! and I can see the same wobble wobble that the Nikon has.

Thank you Jim for doing this right. It is very clear that the Canon Still division does not talk to the Canon Video division.
 
I haven't been this embarrassed for Canon since the T-1. Wow.
