It was only a matter of time before Film Riot 's Ryan Connolly put in his two cents on the two newest competing cameras, the Canon C300 and RED Scarlet.

A few nights ago, both Canon and RED announced cameras in the heart of filmmaking land, only 10 blocks apart from each other. Judging from the specs you could easily say that RED blows Canon right out of the water. 4k resolution at 1-25fps, 2k at 60fps and HDR-x technology at a pricepoint that's comparable to Canon's 1080p are the core differences.

Film Riot host Ryan Connolly got to test drive one of Hollywood’s newest toys, the RED Epic camera, and played around with it for a couple of episodes .

The latest episodes of Film Riot take a look at a dream camera, the RED Epic , a camera that has been used to shoot Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, David Fincher’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, next year’s The Amazing Spider-Man, and Peter Jackson’s future mega-blockbuster The Hobbit.
