    "perform better than many $100K plus video cameras out there"

    come on, let's not overstate things.

    Yes, in many ways, the opticals rival or beat many very expensive cameras out there . . .
    BUT
    it shoots compressed only, it doesnt really cover 'sound' so much, it has a very limited amount of storage available, there is no autofocus available, you cannot pain quickly with it without massive distortion.

    Yes, it is a great feature, and yes it is a step in the direction that everyone is headed - DSLRs and film cameras will have some major overlap in the near future.

    RED is making a DSLR that also shoots HD video . . . they'll announce it before the end of the year.

    • how much will the RED cost? under 3k?sikma
