http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/red-dragon-upgrades-04-08-13-01jpg.jpg Red has announced that Dragon sensor updates will start tomorrow for Epic-M and Epic-X owners for $8,500, and it’ll take the highly unusual step of letting owners see it done for themselves at its NAB booth. The new sensor will bring 6K resolution, 120 fps at 5K and 15+ stops of dynamic range in a slightly larger format, according to Red. Owners of those cameras who wait until Thursday or later will be able to grab the update for $9,500, and filmmakers hoping for a new Epic-M with the Dragon instead of the Mysterium-X will be able to place a pre-order by tomorrow for $29,000 or so. Meanwhile, there’s good news for those who ordered the more budget-minded Scarlet – they’ll get an option to upgrade to the Epic directly or get the 6K Dragon sensors and ASICs, with details to be announced tomorrow, and pre-orders launching on Thursday. Red may have a tough road to hoe with recent game-shaking news from the likes of BlackMagic Design, but how many companies will actually let you watch your camera get operated on?
