Jim Jannard, lors d'une discussion à propos de "Monstro" (le nouveau capteur), a laissé entendre qu'il comptait placer ce capteur dans un appareil photo numérique à objectifs interchangeables (un DSLR) pour pouvoir capter, dans un même appareil des photos et de la vidéo en haute résolution

Il semblerait que ce projet de création par les techniciens de la RED, d'un apn (DSMC pour Digital Still & Motion Camera) destiné à concurrencer le D90 de Nikon qui vient de sortir ou le prochain Canon, soit réellement sur les rails et pourrait sortir en 2009 :

The news came in a blog posting from company founder Jim Jannard .

Currently, we call it a DSMC (Digital Still & Motion Camera).
"While (insert code name) is not a replacement for Epic or Scarlet [the company's forthcoming 5K and 3K digital cinema camera], it is strategically targeted at the DSLR space. As Nikon and Canon release their 720P and 1080P, respectively, DSLRs with video capture... RED has a more advanced view of the future. We look forward to rapidly pushing the "big guys" along in feature sets and capabilities."
The reference to Nikon and Canon is in response to the recent launch of Nikon's D90 digital SLR, which can also capture 720p high-definition video. A model with similar capabilities is expected from Canon soon. Jannard says that the company's advantage over these companies is that it's working purely with new technologies.
"The strength of RED is in our sensor development program, REDCODE, and having no legacy platforms to deal with. That left us free to explore, develop and prepare to deliver a new platform. DSMC.
He also says that "RED firmly believes in higher resolution, higher S/N, higher DNR, higher frame rates, smaller bodies, more system flexibility, and many more options as we move forward in camera development."
