Owners of the popular RED ONE have a chance to get an upgrade to the newer Mysterium-X sensor, which brings with it improved low-light performance and better codecs, for the low low price of $5,750 starting next week.
While the versions of Mysterium-X that will reach RED’s other cameras should be higher resolution, the primary advantage of the new sensor will be low-light performance, which the company tested earlier in the year. The ONE has often been complimented for bringing 4K down to regular prices but has also been criticized for its relatively noisy output at high ISO levels.
You can get a discount of $1,250 (bringing the upgrade cost down to $4,500) if you join the EPIC-X Beta program.
