As any filmmaker will know, the total cost of a camera is not just the body itself, but it will often require a number of additional purchases for the ideal setup. Let’s sum up what I think are the three best additions you can make to your C300mkIII or C500mkII.
Cameras

RED Gemini
Today Jarred Land of RED Digital Cinema announced a new sensor, and a very special one at that. By the time you read this, the only five available will have sold out.
