ya i definately expected more than that. but its structure does look like a good camera, but they will make no money off of it if every new feature can be added with a cheap accessory instead of buying a whole new cam.

For the market RED is targeted for I have to agree w/JSR's post. Because of RED's modularity it should have a very long shelf life which will make it more attractive. For example, many higher end film people are weary of sinking a ton of money into an HD camera that may be "obsolete" in just a few years (compared to film cameras that can last for decades). So a "core" camera unit that can change w/technology and customers needs will most likely be very popular. So far there have been over 100 people dropping $1000 each (fully refundable on request) to reserve a RED camera when they start leaving the factory (next year sometime).
