Will the RED suffer from vertical smear?

This can be answered pretty simply by the question, did PJ and Richard Bluck point that joint at the sun.

If your aren't clear on what I mean, read this:

I just love shooting into the sun so I've been very curious since day one.

CMOS sensors don't suffer from vertical smear ibloom. Only CCDs do.

Didn't realize red was CMOS. That sets it appart from DALSA and Arri I believe. Good to know.

Nope. Arri is CMOS. I don't know about Dalsa but Arri is definitely CMOS. They had this exact question brought up at a seminar I went to a few weeks ago for the D-20.
