EPIC-M Monochrome

[Jarred Land]

I am pleased to announce the Epic-M Monochrome.

Newly Developed Mysterium-X Monochrome Sensor.

Native ASA 2000.

Increased net resolution ( Removal of the debayer process, so every single individual pixel is used for luminance / image data )

New Low Pass Filter to assume a reduced pixel pitch ( 1x1 vs 2x2 Bayer )

$42,000 ( brain only ) includes upgrade to Dragon Monochrome Sensor spring 2013.

David Fincher is shooting his current project solely on Epic-M Monochrome cameras as we speak.

Pre-orders open on RED.COM Monday.. Ships October 1st.

Unbelievable. No debayer--brilliant.

Ships the day before my birthday. Not that I could afford one--but thank you for making it.

Hi Jarred,
Do you have any side by side comparison shots Of Epic MX and Epic Monochrome.

[Brian Iannone]

Well now... That's going to be very, very interesting. :D

Finally, a camera for those of us who are colorblind!

Neat vision.

[Terry VerHaar]

Hmmm... trying to grasp the significance of this. Does this somehow mean that all color will be added in post? Even as I say that it sounds weird but otherwise... what? Just B&W images?
