Seeing RED

Mike of HD For Indies as usual has the scoop on the RED camera that I've posted about before. The cost: circa $24k (for camera, lens and recording unit). That definitely puts it out of buy-to-own range for most of the filmmakers I know... but perhaps in rental range?

4520X2540 pixels…DATA TO BURN At the heart of RED lives the 12-megapixel Mysterium™ CMOS sensor, Super 35mm sized, with unparalleled fidelity and flexibility. It combines low noise with superior charge capacity for dynamic range and color fidelity that allows you to finally have a no excuse option to 35mm film.

Anyway, here are Mike's posts:
