Because if you put a 4K R3D file in a 2K timeline (2048x1080) it doesn't fit. Most HD cameras resolve differently, yet they are called HD cameras and fit in a HD timeline. I actually really like the picture of the RED camera (the F35, D21 as well). Sorry you don't . Oh well. bob

Vincent, was this engineer an independent or working for Sony? I agree that the F35 looked great but still kind of video like in areas. I don't want video. I thought the RED images had a nicer texture. All this 2K or 4K stuff is silly. The F35 has an HD output that makes it 1920 x 1080. The RED output is 4K (open a file in AE and look). What it looks like on screen is what matters. They both looked very good. Soon the market will tell us what is going to happen. I think you will see both working all the time. bob

Maybe Jim doesn't like being called a liar over and over. When I opened a RED file in after effects it was a 4K file. What matters is what that file looks like when on TV or projected in a film theater. I don't know why, but I (me, just me) found the RED footage texture to be nicer than that of the f35 (at NAB). But we are splitting hairs. It's evolving all of the time. I think the more interesting part of the whole RED thing is the RAW workflow (and I've got it working fine). bob

Did anyone see this? April 17. Looked digital.

Huh? Stephen, the cable comment was my attempt at humor (not very funny, I guess). I have all kind of quality cables around, if that helps. Sure Sony went on to build better cameras based on what they were told (I would argue that their motivation was the competition in the market) but you have to buy a new camera to get the improvements. Reds PL mount fix was free and would have happened anyway because Jim likes cameras (he has lots of them) and wants to sell them. Lets be careful about making blanket statements about what a company policy would be, ie "I am sure the new one would not have happened". Bob

That cable is a new 4k digital cable that will replace a film cable. This thread is funny. You've got the best DPs in the business already testing and using the camera and still people go on and on and......... Give someone a chance to finish a film and then go see it - then make your comments. So there are a lot of fanboys - big deal. It's a new type of camera and it's a clever idea that seems to work pretty well. Bob Torrance

Josh, I would be interested in your take with the RED camera in tungsten lighting. Especially in low light night interiors. Thanks in advance. Bob Torrance

"Including Red" not only Red. Just thought Genesis thread would make sense or how about 2k vs 4k sensors. Sony has also stated that they are making a 4k camera. Maybe Sony vs Sony. bob

Phil, would mind posting your sources for this crappy dynamic range. And how many stops is "crappy". Being that this is the Red thread I assume you mean the Red camera. Also, what kind of dynamic range does a Nikon D3 have? This is really interesting. Thanks Bob Torrance
