Review Summary
With superior image quality and best-in-class resolution, RED EPIC-W with HELIUM 8K S35 sensor allows content creators everywhere to deliver ultra-detailed still and motion images. EPIC-W’s 35 million pixels capture subtle features and tiny nuances that can’t be seen at lower resolutions. At 35.4 megapixels, that's 4x more resolution than 4K—and over 17x more resolution than HD.
Like the WEAPON 8K S35, EPIC-W combines advanced color science with incredible dynamic range. The result is cinema quality imagery with vivid colors plus detailed shadows and highlights to produce the most realistic images imaginable.
The HELIUM 8K S35 sensor received the highest DxOMark sensor score ever. You can test-drive footage from this sensor on the R3D Sample Page.
For cinematographers, 8K resolution offers more than just incredible detail. It delivers countless possibilities for reframing, VFX (visual effects), motion stabilization, supersampling footage, and more. More resolution boils down to the ability to do more with your footage in production—all without ever having to reshoot.
The EPIC-W is capable of recording REDCODE RAW and proxy 4K Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR/HD formats—simultaneously. More recording options and the raw power of REDCODE provide the freedom to choose the workflow that's right for you. Take advantage of RED's powerful non-linear editing application, REDCINE-X PRO, to cut dailies, make color corrections, and augment your workflow.
The DSMC2 form factor is our smallest and lightest BRAIN ever. It is also compatible with a growing arsenal of modules and accessories—from RED and other third party manufacturers. Tack on interchangeable OLPFs and lens mounts and EPIC-W gives you the ultimate control over your footage.
