RED Camera Interview

Some say the specs on the RED digital video camera, being developed by the Oakley sunglasses guy, are impossible:

I recently had the chance to do an email interview with Jim Jannard, the man behind the RED camera. While I have met Jim and talked with his team extensively about the camera and am a strong supporter of his efforts, the questions I've asked are of a more skeptical nature, reflecting some of the concerns I've heard from readers and folks I've talked to about the camera. So this interview is a bit biased in that direction, coming from the perspective of someone questioning Why Do This, even though that is not my own personal viewpoint on this.
