@navstar: I believe the machining is what makes the upgradability possible. Seems you can fit anything anywhere on this camera. Tripods, rails, cranes, metering equipment, a cupholder maybe... you're not gonna get any of that if your camera looks like an ipod.

The "Mysterium" chip sounds a lot like the "Phantom" game console.

Looks more like HAL 9000 controling what could be a Plasma and or Ion cannon.

Man, I wish Oakley would get another industrial designer. Whoever they have, he's like the anti-Jonathan Ive. Or maybe they are channeling the ghost of Jack Kirby? This junk is soooo over-machined. Am I supposed to be impressed?

I like the look of it, and it looks rugged, but is it really? On the Red.Com spec sheet there is nothing saying it can handle any shock, harsh environments etc. So if you spend $17K on this - treat it like an iPod NANO I realize this isnt aimed at the average consumer, but it should have a bit more information even for semi-commercial use. As a comparison, if you want to see how military equipment is tested check out MIL-STD-202 here (generic standard) (http://www.dscc.dla.mil/Programs/MilSpec/listdocs.asp?BasicDoc=MIL-STD-202) Tests 213 and 214 have pretty good tests on shock and vibration, with test 110 being pretty good if you want to take it to the beach. The reason I've linked that is its information I deal with regularly, plus thought a few people might get a kick out of it. I get frustrated when consumer products either look rugged and aren't, or say they are rugged ('Look, I'm rugged'), but dont back it up. If you have a quick read of the standards, they are not to hard to test against and IMHO are pretty easy to meet with a hot glue gun and a bit of knowhow. BTW the Red sez "Shoot lightweight ENG style (body less than 7 lbs., in rugged magnesium alloy)" Pfft.

I was thinking terminator action too. Looks like the arm cannon that mega hot terminator used.

It also runs a proprietary embedded OS. It's called SkyNET.

Useless Fact of the day: At a national call centre I used to work at we used to direct customers to red.com to test their Internet connection at the end of a call.
