Cult camcorder manufacturer Red finally took the wraps off a new product it had been teasing on its website and in online forums for weeks a multi-purpose hybrid camcorder/digital SLR that lets the user create their own custom imaging device based around Red’s sensors.This might be kinda cool considering what the camera can do, I don’t have the money to buy that camera but I still think the company is amazing because it is a fully customizable camera all the way down to your sensor size.read more on this article at Pdn.com.
