Jargon Buster: Off
RED's forum users were given another treat when Jim Jannard revealed a set of prime lenses.“The bench testing is beyond our widest dreams,” said Jim. “ As you know, we have lots of lenses here for testing. These new primes outperform them all... especially wide open... and it isn't close.”

RED's entry into the DSLR market is interesting for sure - but forgive me if I still remain a little sceptical about whether they'll become a mass market player. I'm not sure Canon or Nikon will give up that easily, and as I've said before, they have the advantage of a customer base already committed to their lens systems.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love a cheap alternative offering very high image quality, but good lenses to go with it will never be cheap - and what do I do with all my Canon glass?
Haha - nice!
Don't get me wrong, I'm watching this development area with great interest and I might even go for one if the price:quality ratio is right.
It's a tough call though - as the other option I'm considering is a 5D Mk II - which will work with all my current L lenses. It's a big leap for me to consider replacing all that glass. Cost aside, I'd also have to be convinced this is a platform that will be around for years to come. Given the current economy, that's not just down to how good the RED technology is.
I heard that too, but it seems they've either changed their mind or it may come as a multiple fit?
