Nov. 3rd take 2...

[Jannard]

This date will be huge for everyone in this industry.

Canon will announce it's very best effort for digital cinema. RED will announce Scarlet.

A powerhouse and an upstart going head to head. One day.

This is huge for everyone. Wow!

Canon on the red carpet in Hollywood and RED from the garage. Head to head.

The anticipation is incredible. A big moment for all. Really.

It will be telling in a number of ways. Canon can make a huge difference in this industry and has called for everyone's attention. We will all be watching what they are going to do. A few will also be watching what RED is doing.

This will be a great moment in time. The customers win. No matter what.

Anyone in this industry that isn't paying attention on Nov. 3rd doesn't have a pulse. It is like Ali vs. Frasier. I can't wait.

There is no doubt now that you have their game plan and know RED has the goods. Let's Rumble!

[Jannard]

We have no idea what Canon is going to announce. It is thrilling actually.

What a great moment in time for everyone.

Dude, you could have written the book 2500 years ago:

It has the anticipation and feel of the 2008 presidental election

My bet on the RED!:)
I don't believe Canon!
If they don't give 4K again in Mark III (or in a new camera) it will be falling!

The "fight" might be a conflict for corporations and fanboys, but it's a win-win for the industry. We get two new choices, each suited to a certain kind of project and workflow.

As far as the "winner" is concerned... I think it boils down to usability. Who makes a camera with media options the average user can afford? With workflow suitable to a MacbookPro and some patience? Red is for professionals, Canon is good enough for everyone else.

Maybe it's not about who makes the "better" or more popular camera, maybe they each occupy their appropriate territory.

....did I mention I was taking the day off Nov 3rd ? :)

For the end users (all of us), this will be brilliant. It's been great to have Jim and the entire RED team define 4/5K and give us the tools to do amazing things with at an unbelievable price, but this now ups the anti. Who is this going to benefit? Us - the users / consumers.

I think come Nov 3rd, you'll need to choose your team (if you haven't already) ;-)

Team RED vs. Team Cannon

Bring it on Jim!

[Jannard]

I have to tell you... I live for these days. I'm so excited that I can hardly stand it.

BTW... this gives Canon a ton of time to adjust their announcement.
