When you click on the picture, and then zoom in again, you see how amazing it is that this is a frame grab...

Unfortunately it is $58K (with the gear you need) before lenses!

Wow, that was a great read. I didn't think the picture was all that impressive until I read the blog. Thanks for sharing that

I'd say it's noisier than I'd like, but the fact that there's 30 images just like this taken per second at this resolution is pretty mind-blowing.  It's hard to imagine editing such a colossal amount of data.  But hey, this is the tippy top of the high end so if you're making movies you've got the crazy ass hardware.  I look at the RED stuff like gear porn.  It's not unlike the shiny hi-fi stuff…you can look and drool, but you won't touch it!  Heh!

The scary thing is it was actually overcranked 4X, so it was shooting 96 fps - amazing amount of data.  The big SSD's fill up like they were 8 Gig CF cards.  With the RED and the whole DSLR video revolution, this is a very exciting time for the film/video industry.

I've been getting into the DSLR for video and there is a ton to learn.
