Wow. Really puts things in perspective for all of us "stuck" using our RED-MX. Thanks for posting, Shane.

I don't know what it is like over in the US but there is talk of companies hoarding their stock in order to profit from it in the near future, making additional mark up. How much truth there is to that statement I have no idea.

Thanks for the post.

They're doing it here too. I have a friend that manages a post house and she is having a lot of trouble sourcing sr tapes. I think there's going to be a lot more digital workflow.
