By


Today is the special day that we going to review The Red Epic-W 8K S35  shoot video slow motion in 8K, Cost 29,500$. When I say 8K I mean hmmmmm... Pretty Cold huh?



RED announced their highly anticipated EPIC-W and Weapon Helium 8K S35 cameras. The new cameras feature the rebel camera makers’ latest Helium 8K Super 35 sensor that is said to feature vastly improved low-light performance, while resolving insane amounts of detail compared to previous generation RED Dragon 6K sensor, which is no slouch in both departments.

The EPIC-W makes the most affordable 8K camera made by RED at the moment with a maximum frame rate of 30fps in 8K and a Magnesium alloy body, that weighs only 1.5 kg (Brain and media bay only); while the Weapon Helium 8K S35 sits above the EPIC-W in the RED hierarchy with its ability to shoot at the mind-blowing 8K/60fps and stealthier Carbon Fibre body option.



RED also announced details for the new Upgrade paths to the new 8K Helium sensor cameras for Epic/Scarlet Dragon cameras, Scarlet-W and Raven (which are based on the Dragon sensor), and even MX camera like the Epic-X.
