The Canon 5D Mark II penetrates the video market swift and fast. It’s not targeted at RED. When it comes to production it comes down to costing (to too many production houses), hence 5D Mark II naturally become the choice.

We cannot deny depth of field and excellent sensitivity does come from 5D Mark II.

Anybody else think spending over $4700 on a 2/3″ sensor, fixed lens cam is a bad idea?

No matter how much they brag about the specs, the cams are overpriced.

At least DSLR manufacturers are producing cams that work with current tech (1080p tvs), and they are making them affordable so they can sell more. Take note Red.

At least the video DSLRs are real. Jannard should be embarrassed for having mostly (all?) computer generated images of his vaporware.

I remember like last year they were saying they’re going to have a 6×45 video camera. What a joker.

red doesn’t exist. red is a man making claims about an imaginary camera and bashing equipment that exists in reality. when and if red will be a reality we’ll see exactly how good it is and we’ll be excited or not. the best in a certain field bashing the ones they consider inferior is rarely seen.

Red is the worst company for announcing “dream” stuff then never delivering. I think their attack against the Dslrs is because the dslrs actually work pretty damn good. Any videographer that uses a Red should be embarrassed that they got sucked into hype and marketing. I switched to Arri because Red is full of ego-flakes.

@Blomquarter – Did you even read the quote above? Like, the first line of it?

Perhaps you’re right about who he was referencing, but that’s not how a number of others have read the pertinent quote. If you are aware of Jannard’s clarification of that statement, please provide a source.

Wow, Eric Reagan, whoever you are… you’re a flame baiting hack. You intentionally left out Jim’s first line from the original post:

“I fully expect the DSLR mfgs to get it right at some point.”

He wasn’t talking about DSLR cinematographers at all. He was talking about manufacturers.
