The world is changing rapidly. The competition has awakened. Resolution is now being considered a necessity going forward. Size, dynamic range, frame rates, lower prices and endless possibilities now matter... wonderful.

Behind the scenes, we know the "others" are working feverishly to catch up and stay relevant and are developing new and very interesting things. We applaud this type of effort. Everyone wins when companies are focused on survival and are desperate to stay in the game.

This is the single most ideal situation we could have ever dreamed of. Everyone sprinting to win. We LOVE this. Everyone's best effort. Finally true competition. That brings out the best in everyone.

Look for many new and wonderful things from our competitors in the near future. Exciting!

Now... I have to say, we are working on a few things ourselves. Things that leapfrog reason and defy gravity. We are so excited about the future of image capture that words can not describe.

What a wonderful time to be involved in this industry. Stale evolutionary thinking and complacency has now been replaced by accelerated advancement.

Having said that... and in the end... I'd bet on RED. :-)

In August I shoot my first feature film with my Scarlet. Getting my hands on #119 changed me (probably because its the single largest investment I've ever made) and gave me the courage to 'nut up or shut up' and put my own money on the line to make the film I've wanted to make for a long time.

The release of the Scarlet was the kick up the arse I needed. So thanks
 
You have had resolution for a good while, let's get some real off the chart dynamic range now.
 
I love the word "image capture"... methinks this is a hint towards one of those crazy light field plenoptic thingies!

This would give another reason as to why RED are good friends with Adobe (who researched this quite a lot) :P

Hope so. To me the future is not just stereo but a kind of awesome holographic world...

If that was something we were working on... the SSD's paid for the development. :-)

Me and my big mouth will shut up now and get back to work on the trailer for one of your big RED movies coming out in 2013. Will try to make it extra awesome as penance :P

Me too. ;)

Well Jim, you shook these guys up. Not only did you get them up off their asses, you broke their entire, stupid business model of withholding technology from their customers, dishing it out in tiny increments, while "protecting" their 1/4 million dollar 1080p cameras. That is one of the most important results of all this -- the death of the despicable Sony/Panasonic video camera business model, which screwed the average guys in the middle and at the bottom of the food chain. Panasonic is still literally reeling from this, IMO. And obviously Sony was caught flat footed.
