One of the most exciting features in latest DSLRs is the capability to record HD video. However, the HD video capability in current DSLR is still primitive. For professionals who wants the full power of HD video, they use RED. RED was introduced in 2005. It used a design similar to DSLR (digital sensor, can use DSLR lenses with adaptor) and provided high quality HD video capability with a low (relative) cost. Since then, it had become a lot of independent filmmakers' best friend.
I just noticed the new Steven Soderbergh movie, "Che", was actually shot in RED. The preview looks pretty impressive (click here to see it). It will be fun to see what the "Scarlet Red" (the next generation of RED, out next year) can do and if we will see more video features on new DSLRs. HD video is just getting more and more interesting.
