What are the different types of digital camcorder?
I always love considering the high end, so naturally we can consider eccentric billionaire (and I mean this in a good way) Jim Jannard’s groundbreaking new venture, RED camera. For $17,500 plus $12,000-odd for a lens, viewfinder and other needed items, you can get a camera that can shoot ultra-high definition video, at essentially the same quality as 35mm film. His camera is still under development, but early reports are quite impressive. Unfortunately, it will not be available for some time. On 12 May 2007, Jim posted on the reduser forums to say that there is going to be about a five week delay before they have an exact delivery schedule. The best estimates are that any current order should arrive at your doorstep in about a year. Updates can be found at the reduser.net forums. So it’s not available just yet, and the formidable costs of the disk space needed to edit RED video make it out of reach for many, even those who could afford the initial price.
