“The idea behind the RED camera system is simple. Design and build a high performance digital cine camera with the quality of 35mm film and convenience of pure digital. RED delivers unmatched image quality with no recording system limitations.” from www.red.com
The revolutionary Red Camera makes high quality images truly affordable with no compromises.  Used to shoot high profile TV series such as 'ER', '24,' 'Leverage', 'Sanctuary', the US version of 'Shameless' and both the Swedish and English versions of 'Wallander' plus major films including 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' (US version), 'Contagion', 'The Lovely Bones', 'Green Zone', 'District 9', 'Angels and Demons', 'The Book of Eli' and Steven Soderbergh’s 'Che', the Red Camera has quickly been embraced by the industry.  Also shot on Red were:  'Anti Christ', 'Leaves of Grass', 'Winter's Bone', 'The Social Network', 'Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides' and Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit'.
