I do however - really wish that they would at least acknowledge it in print. I guess the really funny thing that came to me - is the reality that this is all in the hope that I can actually afford the Scarlet when it comes down the pipe. It would give me some sort of peace to know that I could cut it if I could afford it! But with the shake up over at RED and these new camera (5DmkII and D90) coming of age - the only thing that is clear, "NAB IS GOING TO ROCK THIS YEAR!" PaulDV and I were talking before "Hero's" started - Stu brings up some really good food for thought regarding their form factor via his blog: http://prolost.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-should-movie-camera-look-like.html I think that I would shoot with a camera like that - if it was affordable and delivered the look and file type that would be easy to work with - (sorry AVCHD is not looking to be that for me...) But I'm also okay with being wrong - if I can be right when the cash needs to be on the table!

It's a bit chicken and egg between the 2 - Adobe wants the potentially vast Scarlet user group - RED wants people to be able to afford to edit .r3d (that almost precludes Apple as a decent Mac is priced 4x that of a PC) RED is quiet because the rethink of Scarlet depends on Adobe providing a simple post workflow that is priced at the Scarlet end of the market.
