a couple of days ago working on a commercial shooting with ALEXA in munich:

production lady: "what kind of camera is this?"
me: "it is called ARRI Alexa"
production lady: "never heard of it - is this something like RED?"

...

Not much like RED at all... with all these sweet new EPIC specs...

you: No, It's something more like an HD-DVD Player.

P.S. Even Arri's web site starts out by saying "ALEXA is more than JUST ANOTHER digital camera"

I'd say the ALEXA is more like if sony released the 3D blu ray player whilst everyone else was using VCR's...
