Jim Jannard gives a full update on the progress of the Red camera: "...our timeline was to show 4k footage in the fall (we were two weeks early at IBC), to assemble 1st cameras in December 2006 (we are still on track) and to beging shipping early 2007. We think that is March or April-ish (things can change)." I thought they were going to ship in December but this is to be expected. And then this very exciting news: "From now until deliveries in 2007, we will take the time to fully explain REDCODE RAW and why this should be your 1st choice for shooting." I can't wait.

And then a little bit of the absurd: "...we are currently working on thermal management for our camera. There will be two FPGA's onboard to manage all that is going on inside. It is like a nuclear reactor inside your toaster. Quite a challenge. Just the way we like it. If you get nervous (I'm not), go buy a set of gloves." Ok! Red camera: check, used lenses: check, gloves: check. Go read his post for more detail.
