At this point, I have to ask: have we entered a new era of global shutter sensors? After our Sony a9 III Lab Test, we now have the new RED V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV in our CineD lab. Using a new 8K Vista Vision global shutter sensor, we were curious to see how it fares – you, too? Then read on… Not so long ago, we tested the CMOS sensor-based RED V-RAPTOR 8K VV – in case you missed it, you can head to our Lab Test here. It performed very well in our lab and rightfully sits in the top 5 of all cameras we tested so far in terms of dynamic range. Now this model received a sensor update to a new 8K global shutter full-frame sensor. You can read about all the specs and new features here. Just recently I wrote the following about the new Sony a9 III which also received a new 6K global shutter sensor: “Global shutter sensors have been around for a while, but so far they have been hampered by the fact that dynamic range was significantly lower than what their CMOS counterparts showed. RED was the first company that seemed to have cracked this paradigm with their RED KOMODO 6K global shutter camera (see our Lab Test here) which performed very well in our dynamic range testing.” The RED V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV in our CineD lab.
