Thanks to Mike Curtis, we get another endorsement for the amazing RED camera, slated for release in April.
If you can’t read the image, it says:
The RED Mysterium sensor has finally pushed digital acquisition past the timeless 35mm film barrier in resolution and clean color fidelity.
The endorsement is by David Stump who is not only a member of the ASC but is the chair of the Digital Camera subcommittee for the ASC.
Do you really thing digital camcorders can match the celluloid resolution any day? I dont think so. Celluloid will always stay 2 steps ahead, just as the human brain stays quite some steps ahead from the computer…Filmmaking on celluloid might be expensive, but then, its worth it.
Sarthak,
I used to think the same to be true for stills photography.
But on the net I saw some pictures which compared 35mm images scanned at 2K with the Red camera downsampled to 2K, and boy is there a difference;
While they both have comparable resolution, the Red camera is very pristine, while on the Film you do see the grain.
That said, I love the living quality of projected 35mm film.
But now Red is working on a 4k projector, so it looks like the future will be digital in aquisition as well.

Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog.

Hi…
Came across your blog while looking for sites who have reviewed the RED ONE camera.
Not sure if this is something you are interested in, but I’m gonna throw this out there:
My name is Gayle Gallagher and I am representing a company who has produced a DVD that gives anyone operating (or wanting to operate) the RED ONE camera system all the details to maximize the camera’s full capabilities.
The DVD is a two-disc set called “RED 101.” One of the cool things about this video is the host (Jay Kelley) is a camera geek who is excited about all that the RED ONE can do, and therefore relates really well to the audience. The DVD also features a unique interactive menu that allows the viewer to utilize an “info” button when they want more information about something specific during the program.
Anyway, I am writing to you because I am trying to get the word out there to the folks who would love this DVD and would benefit from it.
For more info about the RED 101 DVD, and to see a short intro video, you can go to our website:

Would you guys be interested in doing a review of the RED 101 DVD for your site?
If so, please let me know and I will get you a screener copy.
Thanks so much!
Gayle
