If you've been waiting for RED to release a product within reach of the prosumer class of shooters then this is it: the Scarlet 2/3.

Get ready for HD on a whole new level. A collection of renegade engineers and entrepreneurs have been working on a system to capture video at resolutions that were previously unheard of. Released in 2007, the RED ONE was the first camera produced by Red Digital Cinema Camera Company. The camera uses a 12 megapixel CMOS sensor that captures 4K 16:9 (4096×2304). The highest resolution that most consumers are currently familiar with is 1080HD which is only (1920×1080) by comparison.
