Stephen, there where less than a hundred "beta" cameras out in the world by this time last year. I would hardly count those few prototypes that RED flew around with as production cameras. And did you consider who where using those cameras? Not as part of a RED advertising campaign but because they wanted too? Steven Soderbergh, Peter Jackson, etc.
You guys seem to be angry at Jim and not angry at the RED camera, out of jealousy or just ignorance, which is a little sad to watch.
