We believe, and are developing for late 2009, a replacement for DSLRs. Currently, we call it a DSMC (Digital Still & Motion Camera).

While (insert code name) is not a replacement for Epic or Scarlet, it is strategically targeted at the DSLR space. As Nikon and Canon release their 720P and 1080P, respectively, DSLRs with video capture... RED has a more advanced view of the future. We look forward to rapidly pushing the "big guys" along in feature sets and capabilities.

RED firmly believes in higher resolution, higher S/N, higher DNR, higher frame rates, smaller bodies, more system flexibility, and many more options as we move forward in camera development.

The strength of RED is in our sensor development program, REDCODE, and having no legacy platforms to deal with. That left us free to explore, develop and prepare to deliver a new platform. DSMC.

We think all our customers already know what the future will bring. They are just afraid to wish for it for fear of disappointment. Fear not. Sleep tight. RED is awake.

Can't wait... :)

Will it have interchangeable lens mount, or can You address more Your lens strategy? DSLR after all is mostly about the lenses... :)
If You want to wow DSLR owners (such as me) You need to provide path to reuse our existing glass... Nikon and Canon mounts are a must...

I won't comment on any specifics until the 1st of the year. But "revolution" applies more to this than the RED ONE did to cinema.

Bring it on. If you build it they will come..

As much as I would like to I hope never. I wouldn't want anyone having any say either then Jim in what to design and build. Do you think that if there was a real IPO with a board of directors we would be getting the one on one treatment and the products we see coming out of RED? I say nay nay
 
I was still excited about the Olympus MicroFourThirds announcement. (System cameras without mirror)

Jim, is this better than Olympus?
 
Jim, never ceases to amaze and revolutionize but may i remind you:

It's been said many times that RED represents the beginning of the end, as we know it of a sports shooter. If you can do 100fps and get a 24MP still image of some quality, then why would you need a Nikon or Canon?

Nikon and Canon coming up with HD recordigns on DSLR's is quaint, but not a selling point for me. I am into the quality of the image. Video, to date, and it's still images have never blown me away until I started seeing the RED footage. It's still not there (IMHO) but it's closer than ever.

RED needs to get the scarlet out in commercial volumes as a testeer to its ability to produce something that will have real demand. This is a truly interesting device and more than a few of my colleagues are gagging at the bit until it's introduced.

Stock options? No way, I agree. Jim and Co need to be free to develop and innovate. If it's $$ they need, make sure it's only 48% they hand over to investors, and even this would change the way they operate.

Bring it on..... You have my vote and $$.

Whoa! So, does this mean a line of serious glass? I've "heard" that the real money isn't in camera bodies, but in glass.

Either way, wow!

Didn't someone ever tell you to pick on someone your own size? :-D
 
Many of us have been waiting for the merger of DSLRs and HD video cameras.

BTW, I have some ideas about adding some advanced timelapse and exposure options to this sucker. Can I send them along to a certain red team member? Who is heading this project up?

Amen, Brother! Jim, please stay private! If you decide to retire, I think you could find a suitable replacement that could take on your day to day role by searching any one of a number of institutes for the criminally insane or we could just clone a Bond villain ;)!

You are breaking all the rules, making new ones and breaking them all over again. This is a fantastic new direction in development. After using your products for over four months now, I have every confidence in your instincts, your assessment of the market, your resources, and the talent and skill of you and your team to deliver whatever you say you'll deliver. You fly in rarefied air, and it is thrilling to watch the history of this industry unfold.
