The RED cameras are pretty much unusable without a lot of very expensive add-ons. The real cost comes out to 100K+.

Yeah -- pretty much all of them are like that

I was putting some quick foundational numbers in there... I would expect all of those prices to be 5X or more than what you see after all the extra stuff that one would need to have a complete setup might be...

let alone time, training, education, talent, etc etc etc...


They come with a lot of "emotional" baggage

Well, its died down now, but it used to be a proper cult. old $work used to make software that was a key step in transcoding from their shitty jpeg2000 "redfile" to something more usable.

yes they had high resolution, but they had rolling shutter and were still quite expensive. Not to mention poor colour reproduction.


... and crashing. I hear a lot of complaints about crashing.
