Why?! Why must you taunt us with this gadget pr0n? I want. Not just the camera, but also the time to use the camera.

Alas, in order to pay for the camera, I will have to log a ton of hours for said camera, cutting into time to use the camera.

So you will be able to buy a slightly used RED ONE in about a year for less than 17500 from the manufacturer I am guessing.

wifi control, so you no longer have to train a monkey to film you doing it.

@Darrone: Brilliant!

My guess on price: 17501. Because what's money to these people?

That earns the name "Epic".

*gasm*

Will they ever make it with 70mm full frame?

You know that no porn director will touch this...I mean, all those cottage-cheese milfs...up close..with silicone scars...POST!!!

Can it do 2.39:1 natively with Panavision anamorphic lenses at 5K?

Unless the answer is yes, I don't see major studios jumping over to digital capture anytime soon.

Tom Swift called. He wants his marketing team back. "Mysterium X." Give me a break....

Too bad Red cameras have no Time Code or audio support.
Audio is optional as far as I'm concerned, but for any video camera past 2006 not to to accept standard TC is telling the user you do not want this to work well in a standard professional work flow.

Pretty nice of them to offer an even exchange on the previous model.

Also, where's the sample footage?

And finally, don't they know that they're leaving themselves wide open to a bunch of immature EPIC FAIL jokes? Are they crazy?

@CaptainYoshi: David Spade called. He wants his schtick back.

Why do I want this more than the powers of holy Superman-Jesus fire despite my lack of interest in film??

@OMG! Ponies!: ZING!

Soooooooo can I make a BlueRay Biopornography?

@omnomnomnom:
Do studios actually own those Panny lenses? Otherwise, they can just rent the equivalent in any other mount since RED has adapters. Also, you can do whatever you want in a digital workflow anamorphic or not. If film is show anamorphic it gets corrected scanned in, digitized, edited, etc anyway.

I realize I am showing my ignorance here, but is there currently anything on which you can actually view the content that this thing creates?

Or is it strictly created at that resolution for editing to be downressed to 1080p?

@rbf2000: Have you ever been to a movie theater? Thats what its for.

@itchytooth: On what, exactly, would you watch this sample footage?

@LastAndLeast: Oh, on my 15" laptop screen. I'd just watch a tiny corner of the action. And then I'd rewind, move the view window a bit and watch it again... repeat that a few dozen times... stitch the whole thing together in my mind.

Hell, my $100 point and shoot from costco has 8 megapixels... Ok, I kid. And I want.
