RED DIGITAL CINEMA announced the V-RAPTOR 8K S35 and V-RAPTOR XL 8K S35, which will include the new S35 sensor. These cameras have a fast cinema-quality sensor scan time that is twice as fast as previous-generation cinema cameras. RED DIGITAL CINEMA president Jarred Land spoke about the launch, saying: "The V-RAPTOR and XL have produced some of the best imagery I've seen, and now that performance is available to the filmmakers who prefer the Super35 format."
Significantly, the V-RAPTOR XL 8K S35 includes the brand's new integrated electronic ND system, allowing precise density control in 1/4, 1/3, and full-stop increments. This new system is helpful during film production in wildlife locations, in which the camera's compact and flexible set-up allows for wide-range zoom lenses. Additionally, the 8K S35 sensor delivers an array of features such as shallower depth of field, slow-motion playback, and higher resolution. The V-RAPTOR 8K S35 is available for $17,995, and the V-RAPTOR XL 8K S35 is available for $34,995.
