Eight‑K resolution has gone from “dream spec” to “studio baseline” in a rapid, unrelenting sprint. What once felt like fringe territory — 8K RAW media — is now firmly within reach, thanks to a slew of new cinema and prosumer cameras arriving in 2024–2025. Flagship models such as the RED V‑Raptor XL, the ARRI Alexa 35 (with 8K modes), the firmware updates to the Canon R5 C, plus fresh pushes from Blackmagic Design (URSA 12K), Sony BURANO 8K and others, are flooding the market with high‑bit depth, high‑frame rate RAW material.
