Nikon Acquires RED, Expand Film Camera Production

The guy who founded that – Jim Jannard – became a billionaire after selling a lot of sunnies, then went on to found RED digital cinema, one of the first major digital cinema camera brands. Today, Nikon announced that Nikon Corporation has announced its agreement to acquire the camera manufacturer, and turning into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Nikon Corporation. This sensor’s physical size was comparable to analog film, bridging the gap between digital and traditional film production. This short film convinced director Steven Soderbergh to shoot his film “Che” with Red technology, marking a significant milestone in digital cinema. The company’s cameras were used to film over 25% of the top 100 grossing films filmed on digital video in the US shot on digital video by 2016.

Becoming a Projector Person: Embracing a New Way of Living

I’ve recommended plenty of their products over the years and have been tempted to check out an Anker Nebula projector for some time. Just ahead of the holidays, I contacted the company to check out a review unit, and shopped around for a decently priced projector screen. The story of how I ended up with a 100-inch projector screen in my bedroom is an entirely unexciting combination of pricing, comparison shopping and reading reviews. Released earlier this year, the Anker Nebula Capsule 3 is more or less exactly what I’ve been looking for in a projector. Factor in the projector screen and that’s another $70 in my case.
