Red Tattoo digital still and video camera

October 31, 2009 @ 3:15 am

Engadget just got word of at least two brand-new RED digital still and motion cameras, one of which is the EPIC-X modular camera. RED has posted several press photos of a prototype version called “Tattoo” that costs about $28,000.

I’m not going to sit here and pretend I know what I’m writing about when it comes to RED technology and gear. Simply put, I just don’t understand it. It flies way over my head in everything and I end up judging the company based on their product images (which I have to say are damn good). See the gallery below of the Tattoo and some optional gear you can mod the camera with.

Richard Avedon’s notes to his printer

After seeing this image above, I am so glad that my current job does not require me to work in the darkroom to tweak exposures on a photograph.

Don’t get me wrong, I really do enjoy working in the darkroom, but I think I’d sooner quit than start doing something like this IN THE DARKROOM for the amount of photos I process daily. Yeesh. I guess it just goes to show how awesome Richard Avedon is/was. [via]

Remember The North Face Base Camp Duffel that I posted earlier last year? Well, The North Face has taken the same rugged bag, reshaped it and added two shoulder straps to it to turn it into a backpack. The new creation is called Base Camp Master Cylinder and it’s only $99. At that price, you get an indestructible pack that hauls more than just your everyday load.

Also, due to the bag’s shape and features, you can access its contents via a top and side opening which is great for putting awkward-sized objects in.
