Yes, the price, what is the catch in it?
You can buy two RED cameras for one Varicam,
and RED is superior in all things against Varicam. Is it?
So what is the question, why is RED so cheap or why is Varicam so expensive?

You have to wear Oakley sunglasses 24/7 for the rest of your life and you must agree to paint your children red.

What makes Varicam so expensive?
Monopoly, and politics
What red is doing, may change it and brake it.
In favor for us; Things will not be the same and
Sony and Panasonic will have to adapt.
Filmmaking should be affordable not exclusive, and that's what Jim and his team is accomplishing.

The catch is that good material, which is well conceived, well shot and well edited will look good on any format. There is of course the old adage "you can't polish a 'richard'".

Yes they would love to adopt RED!
I think you meant adapt?
I was at NAB and looked at all the major booths....
The big boys are slugging it out with each other....
The Sony booth proclaimed P2 was dead. The Panasonic
booth was huge and had an HPX3000 body that was only
$48,000....It is going to get real hard to sell the high
end gear even to the rental houses.....The big boys business
will turn to the consumer and broadcast areas. I have always felt
while owning Sony and Panasonic gear as being the oddity anyway.
RED is going to capture the middle and high ground and
those shooters that continue buying over-priced, under performing
equipment will be a small minority.

...And yet the strange thing is that if you look at the adopters of red, in the uk, it is mostly independant production companies and part time film makers with the exception of Axis Films.
A lot of the facilities guys I am talking to still think it's smoke and mirrors vapourware ... denial methinks?

"A lot of the facilities guys I am talking to still think it's smoke and mirrors vapourware "
over the years they have seen alot of equipment announced that never shipped ... until RED is shipping, denial has no affect on their business ...
