, el creador de Red One y su prole, Scarlett y Epic, ha reaccionado y anuncia una revolución. We went on vacation and we are surprised to Nikon SLR cameras that also record HD video 720p/24fps ... But it seems that Nikon has uncovered only a small corner of the Pandora's box ... Jim Jannard, the founder of Red One and their offspring, Scarlett and Epic, reacted and announced a revolution. ) o lo que es lo mismo una cámara, ya no de vídeo, ya no de foto, sino una cámara integral que alberguará las dos opciones. The visionary creator of Red, who is also an avid photographer, says that in the near future (as close as next year) will begin developing a new concept camera, which he calls DSMC (Digital Still & Motion Camera) or what is the same as a camera, no video, no picture, but a comprehensive camera hostelling the two options. A DSLR that records HD video, which makes the RED ONE 20Mp photos?

. For its part Canon seems to have also a surprise in this regard and already saying that its new 5D can record at 1080p. The revolution is near.

How about taking advantage of optical reflex to record video without all this paraphernalia ?
Is the depth of field longed finally available to everyone? "Video on RAW? "HD video on economic Fullframe sensors?

This unification seems a natural evolution of the market, and if RED is maintained in that line, will serve as an incentive for large companies that are in RED and a competitor to fear and respect, and only a couple of years!.

It seems that we will live again changing times in the audiovisual market, and it is not new formats, in SD against HD, but a radical change in concept, which should be redeveloped, the ergonomics of the cameras, access manual checks, formats for recording, storage systems, software editing and retouching ... The future is promised interesting.
