The first part of my post is not longer correct. RED has changed the format specs. The first part of my post is not longer correct. RED has changed the format specs.

RED will reportedly have the capability to do in-camera scaling of its 4K image to 2K output, thus using the full sensor for both 4K and 2K capture while maintaining the same image magnification of S35 format lenses for both 4K and 2K-scaled capture. In the 2K windowed mode, however, the sensor is cropped to about S16 format dimensions so lens image magnification will be greater when using S35 format lenses.

Looking forward to seeing the movie, David. Congratulations!

Hi Brendan, Please be careful about terms like "you all" because this forum, like the others, is comprised of individuals with varying opinions. Greg

To which I would add: who cares? RED says they'll make as many cameras as they can sell.

It'll be interesting to see RED's ratio of reservations to sales ... not that we'll ever know the precise numbers, but there will be anecdotal info.

Otto Nemenz has reserved 5, I believe. Probably others too. My point is that when counting cameras, 1 reservation is most likely to be 1 camera. If RED says they have 600 reservations, that's 600 cameras, not 635. I'm sure Otto Nemenz would be very unhappy if he didn't get 5 RED "Rs" for his $5k.

The same milkiness/flare is evident in a few scenes in FMJ, especially in the first barracks scene with the bright windows blowing out and serving as backlight. This is one of Kubrick's visual trademarks.

1 reservation = 1 camera is more likely.

Although the late, great Ed diGiulio had a most interesting collection/accumulation of stuff, my guess would be Canon, especially if the lenses were prototypes.

Bill, your question may be the only one asked here in weeks that has not resulted in a fight. Welcome.

It's a pity that you don't seem to grasp that someone else's inappropriate accusation doesn't mitigate your own.

I'm happy to let other readers of this thread decide whose posts are nasty and childish. And even more pleased not to respond to your posts again.

You're the one who previously questioned his wealth. I simply stated the facts as recently published. Mr. Jannard's wealth IS of consequence to the RED project because it means that the financial resources are available to complete the project, and it renders ridiculous any suggestion that Mr. Jannard intends to "run off" with $500,000-$1,000,000 in RED reservation deposits. Those insinuations are ridiculous, insulting, and potentionally libelous. I haven't reserved a camera, but I would have absolutely no hesitation in paying a $1000 deposit (or more) to RED. And I dare say my life, business, and financial experience far exceeds yours. I don't need someone like you to advise me on anything. Nor, I dare say, does anyone else. The only reason I have not yet reserved several cameras is that I want to use them for stereoscopic work and I'm not yet sure if they're appropriate. I've decided to wait. Presuming to tell other people what to think is just that ... presumptuous.
