[Zakaree Sandberg]

i bet you all wanted to see what they say about red! but so do i.. thats why im posting this. anyone have any articles with quotes from any of these companies?
last i heard some reps were spitting out "vaporware".. but now that footage has been shown.. spike being built.. and so on, i havent heard anything.

I'd say those reps are trying to avoid the subject as if it was some (excuse me) genital infection. I know I would if I were them.

They're probably too busy figuring out rebate programs that will make their cameras look attractive - as they say, "You can put lipstick on a pig..." :)

[Zakaree Sandberg]

maybe they arent worried too much.. because the consummer market is of much more value to them.. how many f900's, varicams, or dalsa's do they actually sell..?
i think arri and sony are at more risk.. (sony makes the panavision genesis right?.. pana just panavised it.. correct?)

how many f900's, varicams, or dalsa's do they actually sell?

Not many, and fewer in the future I dare say.

i concur

I think Red is going to cut into their lower end $10K-30K market as well. (Just look at the recent JVC rebate program for their brand new cameras.)

Why buy one of those cameras that will end up being a spendy doorstop in 3 years or less, when you can get a camera that is built to be upgradeable?

i just looked at jvc new hd200u or whatever and the 250.. i find it funny how its so obvious that they purposly dont put the "extra" stuff from the 250 into the 200. there is no way those extra adapters and the fact that it can output timecode shoudl cost an extra 3-4 grand. and your right.. if you buy that crap.. its just gunna be outdated in april;-)
