The past few weeks have been an interesting ride for Jim Jannard and his new venture RED. Canon and Nikon both released DSLRs that shoot HD video. Granted the Nikon has major CMOS rolling shutter issues. But the Canon shoots beautiful video. Which leaves RED to reconsider the future of Scarlet.

I just hope that future includes HDR. HDR is all about capturing huge dynamic range. I would be happy with 2k resolution if it had the dynamic range of HDR. As far as I know there is no camera that can shoot full motion 24 frame per second HDR. HDR would allow immense latitude in creating some amazing visuals. I’m sure they could pull it off. In the meantime I’ll have my fingers crossed. Or maybe the mad scientists at Ikonoshop will beat them to it!
