RED Unveils the 8K Vista Vision Forged Weapon

Digital camera company RED is again proving its ability to push the envelope by unveiling an 8K RAW model camera. The Weapon ‘Vista Vision’ packs an incredible 8192 x 4320, 35-megapixel sensor that can do up to 75 fps widescreen 8K. The chip is slightly wider than a standard full-frame 35mm sensor at 40.96mm x 21.6mm, and video can be recorded in RAW and scaled-down ProRes formats simultaneously. This impressive piece of hardware won’t come cheap: the bare camera costs $49,500 USD, with an additional $10,000 for the 8K sensor upgrade if you purchase before April 16, after which the sensor upgrade price goes up to $20,000. So that makes it a cool $59,500 if you act fast. If you happen to already own a RED Scarlet or Epic camera, you can get credits towards the Weapon models.
