CEO Terry Gou from Foxconn told Nikkei that they partnered with RED:
“We will make cameras that will shoot professional-quality films in 8K resolution but at only a third of current prices and a third of current camera sizes,”
Many companies are planning to launch first 8K mirrorless camera by 2020. Just recently Panasonic announced the development of a new organic sensor with 8K and global shutter (details on 43rumors).
