Canon EOS 5D Mark II and RED
Friday, July 30, 2010
Ok, so we all know how amazing The RED One camera is, and the massive crater is has left in the filmmaking industry. When it was introduced a few years back, it dominated the market and blew the sides off the Hollywood studio system.
Then, in the last year, the filmmaking industry was changed again! An amazing influx of DSLR still cameras with video capability left filmmakers awe struck and astounded at the amazing quality, the leader of which was the one and only Canon 5D Mark II.
Now, as we steadily cruise to the year 2010, we are at the dawn of “high quality, low cost” cameras that will, in my opinion, leave a permanent ripple in the industry from here on out. The most notable of those cameras? Why of course the Canon 7D and the much anticipated RED Scarlet.
We have discovered recently a curious comparison between the Canon 5D and a prototype RED Scarlet that leads us to believe that even the “untouchable” RED company has been shakin’ in their boots about this DSLR revolution.
As you can probably see, RED has modeled their Scarlet very similar to a Canon DSLR. Of course it is missing all the flare of a usual RED, but needless to say, this camera will be compact and powerful! Much like our beloved Canon 5D and now 7D.
Yet the very best thing about both of these amazing cameras is the price…
The Canon 5D and 7D, being consumer products, are both under $3000 respectively (body only).
The real shocker for me is the projected price of the Scarlet (given it’s unbelievable specs!). The brain (or body) of the camera only is priced at $2,500!!
I know we all love our DSLR technology, but if the RED Scarlet ends up at this price, I’m really might consider a switch…
