The cool thing about the 4k format is that they Red will allow it to be chopped into 4 1080P frames and allow true slow motion at 1/4 of the speed. Assuming there's enough light for as shutter speed at 1/120 second.

Has Factory Pilot seen or used one of these yet?


As I would wonder about his impressions of it.

Has Factory Pilot seen or used one of these yet?

He probably shot the photos shown in that article himself!

That pretty girl pictured in the article seems to have trouble chewing gum. Poor thing.

she's an o-review member, and finally saw GOD live in person ( being FP , the photographer of the pic ) and she dropped her jaw, totally forgetting about the chewinggum in her mouth.....

You should look around in digital video forums and see what a fuss RED is stirring up. It's awesome.

that girl is actually part of the promo loop filmed by RED, there are also other sections to it, including one with some very attractive ladies lighting up a big cigar, nice!

RED Digital Cinema burglarized, $100k reward for leads
We first heard about RED Digital Cinema at the NAB conference last April, where the company was showing off a $17,500 behemoth of a camcorder that shoots 11.4 megapixels at up to 60 fps and comes packed in a futuristic magnesium-alloy case. Earlier today we received word that the southern California-based startup experienced a break-in on Saturday night local time, wherein documents relating to the upcoming Red Digital Camera and possibly even some hardware were stolen. Founder Jim Jannard has posted on DVXUser.com a reward of $100,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators, although if this is in fact a case of corporate espionage, the damage may have already been done

holy cow , that is some serious stuff !
if a competitor of some sort even begins to mass-produce an "alternative"with the same specs. , all hell is gonna break loose

Smells like Nike to me

Rick, sounds more like a large Japanese company with four letters in its name.

Do you think Jim would leave information that would be sensitive enough to comprimise the RED project in a show display?

Thats horrible news, hope they catch the thiefs.

There is good news...the most crucial component of the camera, the sensor and all related data, was not stolen.

I'd be suspicious of an HD camera is released called "Crimson"

Or "Led"

Found another interesting snipit on RED at EngadgetHD.
