Scarlet by Red are you ready for it?

On November 13th, 2008, RED Digital Cinema shocked the world with a new concept camera system. Although sharing the name with the camera introduced at NAB in April '08, Scarlet is part of perhaps the most industrious undertaking in the history of photography and cinematography. Based on a modular system and defined by the moniker DSMC (Digital Still & Motion Camera), Scarlet blurs the line between still and motion capture.

There will be 4 models of Scarlet, one a 2/3" 3K fixed lens 8X camera, the other three being interchangeable lens bodies with 2/3" 3K, S35 5K and FF35 6K sensors. The modular concept of Scarlet allows the user to add handles, battery modules, expansion I/O modules, finders, media and support systems to fit the user's needs, while allowing full upgrade ability for future technologies. 5 months later after the above announcement we got this .......

Above and below are the latest image circulating the net. The prototype of scarlet (looks like a baby terminator no?) and the image which comes with it below.
