Red Scarlet digital cinema camera

[Booth]

We got talking about this when shooting at The Roxy. Recently a new type of hand-held camera has been announced (at NAB 2008). It's going to be produced by the people behind the Red 4k camera and is called Scarlet.

Here are the released specs at the moment:

• NEW 2/3" MYSTERIUM X SENSOR
  
• 1-120 FPS (180FPS BURST)
  
• UP TO 100 MB/SEC REDCODE RAW AND RGB RECORDING TO DUAL COMPACT FLASH
  
• 4.8" LCD
  
• 8X T2.8 RED ZOOM LENS
  
• FULL AUTO OR FULL MANUAL SHOOTING MODES
  
• HDMI and HD-SDI
  
• FIREWIRE 800 and USB2
  
• STILL MODE
  
• COMPATIBLE WITH MANY RED ONE ACCESSORIES
  
• WI-FI CONTROL

Price: $3000

This all comes with a disclaimer of...

SPECIFICATIONS, DELIVERY DATES AND DESIGN ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE... COUNT ON IT.

So that's 3k shooting to compact flash cards. Up to 120fps over/undercranking. Redcode and raw shooting (that may mean 4:4:4 color space).
