Yeah, I'll take a pair of those 6x17 cameras.

Hmm.  With frame rates like that, it brings new life to HDR.  With a bit of
firmware programming you could have a camera that does a 20-image HDR in a
third of a second.  Hubba hubba.  Let's see, each image is probably 5 usable
linear stops x 20?  100 stop exposure range?  Now, take 90 of those stops
and program them into a toe and shoulder.  Yeah, that's the ticket.  Tens of
thousands of dollars and we're almost to the point of being able to do what
we can do with a 40 year old Crown Graphic and a box of Delta 100.

Ok, ok. I'll settle down.  If I was a "money is no object" person (instead
of "no money is the object"), I'd be selling off one of my Ferraris and
picking up one of these high-end systems.  The reality is, however, that for
the world of high-end video/film, the REDs are chump-change.  More than once
have I threatened to get into video, and a camera system such as the RED
would be right up my alley.
