Real camera tests...

[Sergio Perez]

Great move. Now the ball is on their court and clears the bad rumors that the opposition spreads of Red being "affraid" of entering these tests.

[Travis Moulton]

I love this idea. No excuses for the other guys. Show up or shut up.

Any way we can see the results?

[Evan Starkey]

No because the content is different for each....

Ok but aren't different cameras chosen because they lean towards the content ?

[Chris McKechnie]

RED is flipping amazing. Love that the company is at the forefront of technology, paving the path of the digital industry.

I volunteer my entire soul to be a part of that day..someway...somehow. :-) hehe

[Jarek Zabczynski]

I'd fly to LA for this.

[Zack CC]

Soo... How much are tickets for bystanders?

Cause this is a test I'd pay to see.

[Dennis Guskov]

oooh, free lunch?! now all I need is to quickly make a camera and sign up! :)

Jim, will you be posting the results online?

[Matthew Scott]

Ok but aren't different cameras chosen because they lean towards the content ?

Yes, true, but then I don't see what that has to do with your idea of comparing what we have at the cinema VS what we could have as a result of this test. Not trying to stir...just saying. I think having all cams pointed at the same thing will be better than watching and comparing Hugo VS Promethius....what do you think?you know what I mean?

You know, this could go either way. Clearly Jim is very confident in his product ( and rightfully so) but this is a chance for the other companies to say " hey yeah red has better x or y, but we have better z" Quite honestly, I can see them not showing up being almost as bad as showing up. If they don't show up, we have the right to ask why they would be unwilling to compare their product on a fair stage. If they do they might come out with bragging rights in some aspect. Still, I doubt they will. its dangerous if they do, damning if they don't. Still I like the idea that red would be willing to concede defeat in an aspect if it needed too. Although I don't think that would last long.

Also, I think it might show that each camera has the ability to produce amazing images, and by association show its weaknesses. My guess is that most will suffer once you get to 4k and 40'. this will be the point that will separate the boys from the men so to speak.
