NAB [1] is running. From time to time I get to see some fascinating news on the web.
RED blows them all [2]! They announced three new systems after the revolutionary (at least marketing-wise, if not technological) RED ONE 4k digital camera.

RED EPIC will be a 5k camera for about 40k USD. Already got a RED ONE? Swap it for a EPIC and pay only the difference.

RED RAY will be a player that plays up to 4k from RED DISC, RED EXPRESS and Compact Flash memory for under 1k usd!

And now for all the independent filmmakers.

PLEASE SIT DOWN FIRST!

RED SCARLET will be a 3K digital camera with scalable frame rates. For under 3k bucks! If it will do what they say then Sony, Canon etc. will have a hard time to keep the so-called “semiprofessional” market.

Release date given is early 2009.
