Interesting: Atomos reacts extremely positively to the Nikon acquisition of RED

By [NR] admin | Published: March 15, 2024


Atomos had an interesting (unusual?) official reaction to Nikon’s acquisition of RED (at least I think so) – they were “hailing it as great news for the industry”. Atomos already has a history of cooperating with both Nikon and RED. The co-founder of Atomos Jeromy Young said this in the official press release:

“I’m absolutely convinced that this new move will result in an explosion of innovation.”

“NAB will be an extremely exciting event this year. Of course, we hope to play a small part in generating that excitement too.”

I did not see another major company praise the acquisition like that. The 2024 NAB show was mentioned again – I already reported that some kind of a Nikon/RED-related announcement could happen next month. Is there something coming between Nikon, RED, and Atomos? I don’t know – what do you think?

See the current Atomos products lineup at Adorama, Amazon, and B&H.

Here is the full text of the Atomos press release:

Here are some rumors on what to expect from the Nikon acquisition of RED

By [NR] admin | Published: March 13, 2024


Here are some rumors on what to expect from the recent Nikon acquisition of RED:

  • Future Nikon sensors will be co-developed with RED and mass-produced for lower prices.
  • Nikon will start making cinema lenses for Z mount with T stops – I assume the next RED camera will be with Z-mount.
  • Nikon will slowly introduce new RED formats and video recording options to Nikon cameras.
  • The Nikon Z6III camera announcement may have something to do with the RED acquisition.
  • We should expect some kind of a Nikon/RED announcement at the 2024 NAB show next month (maybe the Z6III?).
  • Nikon N-RAW will become RED RAW. Adobe just mentioned online that they will no longer make upgrades to Nikon N-RAW because it will be replaced (see the Ado\be developer’s pinned post – click for larger view):
