RED Digital Cinema Camera’s have announced a new system that covers most camera types in use today from the prosumer low end HD video to the 6X17 wide format stills camera. All camera manufacturers will be hit with the magnitude of this new concept. Everything interchangable, all possible ergonomic configurations covered from a hand held stills system, shoulder mounted video, extreme high end feature film kit, and yes even 3D. This new camera system is the RED DSMC (Digital Stills and Motion Camera)

For most stills shooters a 24 MP stills camera that can take a Nikon or Canon lens is enough to get some interest. For video prosumer a fixed lens 2/3″ sensor shooting a 3K image is astounding. For those at the high end the options are equally staggering, a true 6 x 4.5 digital still camera at 65 MP or a file for feature film production at 9K and 50 fps.

This will sink in over the next few months as the options become clearer for those willing to add it all up. The big advantage they claim is RED have made obsolecence obsolete, and I am onboard as of now.

An extraordinary set of product releases and product rumor this week amid a heavy workload for all of us at Photogeek this week.

Hosts include Phil Greenwood,  and James Bellew.

We apologise for the short show this week and the lack of one last week but we have all been otherwise occupied all at once.

This week James and Phil discuss the future directions of photographic hardware.

Canon release the EOS 5D Mk11 as a 21 Megapixel 1080p video shooting beast. MPEG4 HD sounds OK in theory but there are some questions about its’ use.

RED continue talk on their forums about an imminent new camera. They are calling it a DSMC (Digital Still & Motion Camera). We ponder the ramifications.

Carl Zeiss announce the release of two prime lenses with Canon EOS mounts.

Red Rock Micro announce a few new releases and we reckon they might have little growth potential.

Tamron release a Swiss Army Lens the 18 – 270mm.
