I think that when the leader of most companies talk it can be taken with a grain of salt. Jim Jannard's history and his products speak for themselves. I was going to buy a D3 this weekend to add to my D300. I have decided after reading all this today NOT to do that. I can wait. I know the product will be what he says it is. Can I get a free pair of Oakleys with mine please!! :) The only bad part is the 12 months of drooling, waiting from when I see the specs till I can buy it.

Well, IMHO the D3/D700 are better cameras than the DSMC for at least the next 12 months or so... seeing as you can't take photos with the DSMC until you get one!

If I were you I'd dump the D300 or buy a D700. Or just buy the D3. It's a damn nice camera. I'm preparing to sell my D300 to get a D700, even with my plans to eventually move to DSMC if it meets my needs.

Hmmm... interesting that you didn't say "We will..."

You spoke in the past and not future tense.

I bet you already have the DSMC, don't you?

But you scheduled it for a late 2009 launch just so you can have a 12 month extension of your favorite past time of teasing us.

:)
 
Just so you know, I own a D3 and a 1Ds MKIII...

Jim, since you're talking about "killing the DSLR", I guess you mean by that you're going to have make something that is not a DSLR?

Maybe a 1080p EVF instead of a mirror & pentaprism setup? Still interchangeable lens, but not a SLR... and also enables a different form factor and more of a clean slate design? Obvious advantages (and disadvantages) of course...

Very interested to see if you guys allow existing lenses or go for something new - Micro 4/3rds-style, etc. Maybe PL mount? And also if it'll be full 35mm size, or crop.

Well, very cool. Thanks for giving me something to be a fanboy about instead of complaining about closed codecs ;)

Do you work as a professional photographer so you actually understand how these tools work in a real world photographic environment or are they just big boy toys for you?

I'm not having a go at you, I have no idea what your photographic experience is but just owning such toys means nothing. Lots of rich people own supercars but that makes them no more qualified to design a race car, or even drive that supercar they own into anything but a tree!
 
Sorry, you obviously know nothing of this man's background and his life's passions.

These hater posts are so circa 2006... I see a pattern.

That's just dumb logic.

Compared to a David Mullen, Jim isn't a "professional" cinematographer, but Jim made the Red One that David is using, among many other pros.
 
You can take your troll accusation and shove it where it deserves to go. If you can't accept a bit of healthy debate and discussion go home to mommy. Not every one is a blind fanboy, some of us have a mind of our own we choose to actively use.

I clearly said I don't know his photographic background, thats why i ASKED! Its not exactly clearly published. It's a pretty simple discussion to follow, try to keep up.

I don't want to speak out of turn for Jim... but yes he is a professional photographer better than many, has a killer, dead nuts on eye, and kicks ass in photoshop.

(fyi, I'm not kissing ass... anyone who knows Jim, knows this to be true)

And engineers make cars, drivers only consult. But I believe my analogue is pretty easy to understand the point being made. You don't have to be the best in the world at a job to make a great tool for that job, but you have to have a decent working knowledge and experience of the job.

This is the camera Jim should be looking at slaughtering

Its the type of equipment most photographers would love to own but could never afford to buy. Its no different with where RED came in to video production, I guarrantee RED has had absolutely NO impact on the sames of cameras like the EX1 etc DSLR bodies arn't expensive and there is little discontention in that market by end users.

If we answer one question... we'll need to answer more. We believe it marks the end of DSLRs. That's all we can say right now.

I think you answered enough, Jim. I can smell another scam here :biggrin:

Is this the right place and time to offer all my brand-spanking new DSLR gear for sale? Cheap! Any offers accepted. Payment should be sent directly to RED as a deposit for my DSMC :clown2:
