RED was taking on the new breed of Canon and Nikon HDSLRs by offering Nikon F and Canon EF mount options (the latter being fully electronic, allowing data exchange and aperture coupling). The system’s modularity extended to lens mounts, and not just the common Arri PL mount that’s popular with filmmakers. The only real downside is that with the lack of analog gain, the Epic Dragon can’t maintain the same lead in performance at higher ISOs – but it’s an impressive achievement all the same.Īnnounced four years ago and launched a year later as a ‘DSLR killer’, the RED Epic camera attracted a raft of media attention for its ability to capture raw footage, along with its highly modular design. Ultimately though, this camera is an excellent alternative for those who are looking for the widest color depth in the studio (or on location with controlled lighting). The Epic Dragon sits in the top spot thanks to the very same characteristics that helped the Sony full-frame 36-Mpix CMOS sensor achieve its position, namely an extremely wide dynamic range and very high color sensitivity. Red has achieved what Nikon did before it with the Nikon D800.
