Camera company RED, recently just announced that they will be releasing a handheld 3k(higher than HD) camera for only three thousand dollars!!! That's a hella cheap price, especially coming from RED, whose first camera(RED One) was at the high price of $17,000 (body only). I am very excited for this camera, it's pretty cheap and very affordable. I think I may start saving up for it to be my next camera...maybe...Check out the extra info below.
