Canon Announce EOS C 300
(source engadget)
It contains a Super 35mm CMOS sensor and delivers up to 4K resolution with the outfit's new "top-end" EF zoom lenses, which come in four flavors: two 14.5-60mm lenses and two 30-300mm. And the lenses keep on coming, with three EF prime lenses in 24mm, 50mm, and 85mm variations. That CMOS sensor offers 1920 x 1080 pixels for the reds and blues and 1920 x 2160 for greens. Like we said before, list price for the C300 will be $20,000 when it hits stores in late January 2012.


Red announce Scarlet:
(source engadget)
RED has finally released the Epic's baby sister Scarlet. Scarlet packs a similar punch as her older brother, so she can shoot 5k (5120 x 2700) resolution stills at 12fps, or shoot your next cinematic masterpiece in 4K at 25fps. The Scarlet also can use all of the Epic's accessories and comes with a Canon mount so you have plenty of glass to choose from, too. Best of all, Scarlet can be all yours for the low price of $9,750.


Yup $10,000 for a 4K camera more than suitable for VFX work

(Scarlet shoots HDRx as well, I think it was 3K when doing so)

2012 is going to be a great year, hopefully not the end of the world (maybe for Canon!)
