Red Helium 8K S35 : Tests and Reviews
Red Helium 8K S35 Review
RED Helium 8K DxOMark Sensor Score: 108 — A new all-time-high score!
We first reviewed a prototype RED Dragon and were suitably impressed by the high score it achieved despite having a smaller-than-full-frame sensor. We’ve now tested a prototype of RED’s new Helium 8K, and it has earned the highest sensor score we’ve seen to date. It appears one time again that RED has a highly advanced sensor program.As with the Dragon, the score is not included in our official ranking, as it is based on a prototype unit (which allows saving images as RAW), but it does give a good indication of the device’s capabilities.RED Helium is a

RED’s prototype Helium 8K sensor has shattered our previous top DxOMark sensor score. With a dramatic jump to 108, it leaps past the only other sensor to have broken the 100 barrier – RED’s own Epic Dragon prototype (101 points). RED has made a name for itself by producing high-performance cameras intended primarily for cinematographers, but their low noise and support for 16-bit RAW output make them worth evaluating as tools for capturing still images. |
