Fantastic post, Brook. I really hope RED is paying heed to the suggestions presented here. With EPIC, they have the chance to not only correct the RED ONE's ergonomics issues, but to truly make the ultimate Hollywood camera.

Well it's been 5 days and 1,500 views... has anybody from RED read this? Just want to make sure the ball landed in the right court...

I think you've rattled the cages...in a good way.

Right on Brook!
Awesome post. Dead on. Red PLEASE incorporate this valuable feedback from your loyal community!
And please incorporate lens data systems - both i/ and LDS.
Thanks,

I find it strange that no one from Red has voiced an opinion on this thoughtful and informative post. It would be helpful to hear the rationale for some of the design decisions made on the Epic as shown at NAB.

Haven't used the 235, but have used the 416, and can't agree more about ergonomics. Much better than the SR's I was used to, and leaps and bounds above HD cameras.
Haven't used RED yet, but it looks ungainly. There's a reason why film camera's are built the way they are: the design has been refined for more than a century. By this point, they've got it right.
Learn from film cameras.

Brook, nice post.
Haven't used the Red One in hand held mode yet, but if you find the lens port is way too high for your taste could you not turn the camera upside down, invert and flip your EVF or monitor to the other side and then invert the image in post?

It certainly is strange to have such a well presented thread where almost everyone is agreeing completely! Maybe Team Red only responds to the controversial ones.

Well if controversy will get their attention...
Keep this under your hat but word on the street is Lindsay Lohan is having Jarreds (giant) baby. Keep that on the down low though okay CrewPix.
By the way I have talked with Brook about all his suggestions here quite a while ago and am in 110% agreement. Please Red hear these cry's.
