The film industry be offered new toys small digital still smaller and lighter, but no less effective ...

RED digital cameras have made ??a place in Hollywood in recent years. The model is one of Epic's favorite directors, which should necessarily be interested in the arrival of her little sister, the Scarlet. A camera that shoots in 5K (5120 x 2700) at 12 frames per second (120 i / s for Epic) or 4K (4096 x 2160) at 25 frames per second. Backward compatible with the accessories of his sister, the Scarlet also comes with a mount that makes it compatible with Canon EF autofocus optics (controlled via the LCD touch screen). And the good news is that RED will continue to be competitive on price by offering the professional camera at list prices of $ 9750.

Equally compact or more, Canon has in turn the C300. After integrating its advanced SLR features popular videos (more and more media reports their work with a Canon SLR and a few accessories for ease of use "camera", while the films shot in 5D Mark II multiply) , the Japanese manufacturer seems to want to engage more seriously in the matter. Thus, beyond its prototype EOS Movies, the C300 is the first camera "film and broadcast" Canon's position would like to deal with the RED Scarlet, or Alexa for Arri. Unveiled at the heart of Hollywood studios Paramount, to many film personalities including Martin Scorsese, the C300 is meant to exploit the many objectives of the brand, including new optical video-oriented future.

Fujio Mitarai said at the presentation that the C300 is particularly effective to accurately reproduce colors like skin tones. Equipped with a CMOS sensor "Super 35mm" 4K, the C300 is limited to 1080p. It will be launched simultaneously with two sets of optics. A 14.5 to 60 mm and 30-300 mm, which will cost a whopping $ 45,000 each (no, there is not a zero too!). The C300 will be available in two basic versions, one accompanied by a Canon EF mount and the other with a PL mount, standard of the film industry. Three other optical more accessible are coming in EF (24 mm, 50 mm and 85 mm), with longer races for the development. The first recall notice a picture clarity offered by this unique sensor with that of SLR video of the brand, with a noise management clearly and convincingly climb to 20,000 ISO never seen before.

The only problem is the price of the C300 that Canon plans to launch around $ 20,000 by early next year. It's expensive, price positioning is a little strange even if one understands that we should make a difference on the price-oriented pro SLR with video ... Note also that while on paper the Scarlet is half the cost is not including Policy RED delivers a nearly naked body and offers a myriad of accessories to customize the camera, which is quick to push up the bill.
