Some very cool news via FresHDV about an update that RED Digital Cinema will be performing on the RED One camcorders before they are shipped. Well, I guess it’s “very cool” if you are one of those who are throwing down tens of thousands of dollars on the system. Read the scoop after the jump:

We are very happy to announce that we have a significant upgrade to the RED ONE camera coming in the form of an update to one of the major boards in the camera, effectively further increasing dynamic range and reducing noise in the image. Our original goal was to complete this upgrade later in the year, but we now plan to implement this improvement prior to shipping any cameras. It will cause a minor delay, but we are absolutely certain that every customer will feel the improvement was worth the wait. It also eliminates a future board change down the road.

We will publish a new shipping schedule that reflects this update in a couple of weeks.

Jim
