Let’s suppose RED DSMC3 is to be announced tomorrow. What are the features and improvement you’d like to see? We made a generally high-level non-binding list of the most desired features we think that the DSMC3 should have. Scroll below.

RED – a fast-paced camera company

RED Digital Cinema is a well known fast-paced company with high innovation tempo. Unfortunately, RED doesn’t inform us about media news regarding future products and press releases. We just have to get the news as it happens, which means, theoretically, tomorrow the DSMC3 can be announced like a bombshell.

Theoretically, tomorrow the DSMC3 can be announced like a bombshell

However, hypothetically, let’s suppose that RED Digital Cinema is asking us what do we want to see on the DSMC3 line? For that matter, we dig a little bit on REDuser forum and found a wish list thread that contains some useful info in regard. Take a look at the featured topics below.

DSMC3 Wish List: the most featured requests

1. Faster Boot Times
2. Audio improvements
3. Internal ND
4. Professional audio module
5. Better lowlight performance (besides Gemini)
6. Better power management
7. No black shading needed (without sensor calibration)
8. Display: smoother and more responsive menu/ touchscreen
9. Better GUI (Graphical User Interface)
10. Image stabilization
11. Improved auto-focus
12. CFast/standard media compatibility
13. Less expensive media
14. Reduced global shutter
15. High fps at full sensor readout
16. Better cooling system

Finally, as an epilogue, we’d like to add Marques Brownie’s tweet. Marques said that he would pay anything for a RED camera that owns: Canon Dual Pixel AF, Canon battery life, Canon XLR + Preamps, and Canon internal ND.

Look at the tweet below:

I constantly dream about if RED and Canon had a baby

RED 8K RAW sensor
RED color science/quality
RED modularity
RED software

Canon Dual Pixel AF
Canon battery life
Canon XLR + Preamps
Canon internal ND

I’d pay anything for this tbh

Final thoughts

It’s a good and logical list. I’m pretty sure some of the requested features and improvements will be implemented in the new RED line (DSMC3). There are definitely some valid requests in that list.

Would you add more improvements to the list? What would you like to see featured in the next RED Digital Cinema camera line? Let’s know.
