RED Epic
The RED Epic is a digital cinema camera released in 2010 as the first camera in RED's DSMC (Digital Stills and Motion Camera) system. It featured a 5K sensor (later upgradable to the 6K Red Dragon sensor), shooting up to 120 fps at full resolution with up to 18 stops of dynamic range using HDRx mode. Its compact, modular body brought high-resolution digital acquisition to a form factor roughly the size of a DSLR.
