Late last night (here in Australia) RED digital cinema announced a new bread of cameras – DSMC (Digital Stills and Motion Camera). If you’re in the industry you’ll be as excited as I am, if you’re not let me try and explain… It’s both a high end still camera (think SLR) AND a motion camera (think super high end above HD quality video – HD is 1K these start at 3K and will go up to 28K…that’s a 268MP image!!). The whole system is modular – meaning you can build your own camera system based on your needs; and this drastically reduces upgrading costs as you can upgrade individual components as you need to instead of having to buy a whole new camera body. Oh and they also have interchangeable lens mounts for Canon, Nikon, PL and RED mount.

The future has almost arrived – they’re estimating shipping by mid to late 2009. I’m dreaming of the possibilities for Christian media!
