This week PDN (Photo District News) reviewed the SCARLET-X in their Gear section. PDN did a great job of breaking down all the aspects of the SCARLET from price to modules to weight to post-production. PDN covered the cinephotography aspect of RED's DSMC cameras very well, highlighting that the super high-resolution footage makes pulling high quality stills incredibly easy. As they put it:

"Or in other words, photographers who have outgrown their HD-DSLRs and are looking to get really serious about filmmaking couldn't do much better than Red's Scarlet-X. The added bonus is the ability to grab very useable still photos from the camera's ultra-high-def video, which is something that, quite frankly, began to feel quaint. Sure, a client might ask for stills, but once they see what's possible with the Scarlet-X's video, they might rethink the entire project."
