[F]or any production or shot there's the most suitable camera to use, and that camera changes dependent upon a vast variety of factors. Our job at RED is to make a camera which is "most suitable camera" for the widest range of circumstances. That's why we go for higher resolutions, higher frame rates and lower size/weight with a great number of lens options - all at a reasonable price.

[...]The worst investment I did was to get a Wooddoo D6 deck. uncompressed HD 8 bit. A single tape holding 120 minutes cost about 850USD. The deck itself cost about 100.000USD. It did not become a standard anywhere, people bought into the HDCAM deck's instead... so I sold it after having it around for about 5 years to some guy in Australia... I can tell you this much, he paid more for shipping than the actual deck... I could have bought a ferrari or something for that money...

So from the above I learned that tape decks does not get you any girls[...]

Straight from the ouch/touché department:

First off: the 17-50mm is no prime. Next: no lens on this planet has ISO control. I don't want to sound harsh, but in your own best interest you may need to do some further reading before getting into such an investment, I'm afraid.

Thought this was funny...

If I didn't look like a Grizzly Adams/Abe Lincoln hybrid I'd shoot you all a video... but I do. And no one wants to watch that while they're eating breakfast.

I am not in the same league as James Cameron, Peter Jackson, etc. Fortunately the zoo of God is quite big. So I don't feel alone.

Nice view of RED:

The improvements sometimes come so fast we barely have time to fully appreciate the cool things they have replaced. :smiley:

I like it when Jim sounds relaxed and "praising" the competition. Last time he sounded like this was before the November 3rd revels of the Scarlet which "killed" the Canon announcement of the C300... Cannot wait what you guys have in store!!
