With the estimated price of the iPhone 8, it's not out of line.With that price tag I hope it comes with Candy Crush preloaded.
RED has pioneered the era of digital cinema with sensors that they built from scratch. Entrepreneur Jim Jannard started the company after selling his successful start-up Oakley Eyewear. That's most of what I know. There have been a whole lot of productions "filmed" with RED digital cameras since first introduced in the early 2000s. They are a pretty big deal, imo. They just aren't in the consumer space.I've never even heard of that company. Pretty soon we'll be buying cars to accessorize our phones if prices like that continue.
They have fallen to the bottom of choices when it comes to digital now. The big boys, Alexa, etc. have dwarfed them now. We have to thank Red for pushing the big boys faster than they wanted. Red is overwhelmingly used as a B roll camera now.RED has pioneered the era of digital cinema with sensors that they built from scratch.

How so? Some of the biggest blockbusters have been or will be shot with RED cameras. The Hobbit trilogy, X-Men: Apocalypse, Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2, Transformers movies, Fate of the Furious, Jurassic World, Captain America: Civil War, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Avatar sequels.

I heard Guardians Of the galaxy 2 was the first movie shot on the new Epic Dragon 8K rig. Its really a pity that they settled on mastering it at 2K, but I guess there were a lot of CG elements that would have required since serious rendering time. Hopefully Cameron does 4K HFR 3D for the Avatar sequels, with no holds barred, this time. All 3D masters so far have been only 2K, save Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, which was shot at 4K 3D and 120fps, but shown in theaters in multiple frame rate versions and only in rare cases, the full monte, with 3D, HFR, and 4K HDR. Still, no FX-heavy movies have been mastered in 4K AND 3D, let alone any HFR thrown in. Cameron better take it to the next level... and with the writing, too, this time!How so?

They're not shot completely on Red. Red used to distinguish between completely shot on Red and partially shot on Red. As Red became use for more b-roll, and certain specifical effects, space constraint, shots, etc., they removed the designation. You need to go to IMDB to see the cameras used now.How so?
