In a showdown, the 9shooter beats the EPIC RED hands down.

Canon will eat into Red's market share far faster than Red will eat into Canon's market share.

The 5d Mark III & IV, sdhx cards, USB3 hard drives–all these things will erode the Red Market share.

Think about it–are google and facebook and amazon built from IBM mainframes? Or from off-the-shelf components designed for the masses? What happened to Sun Microsystems? RED is the Sun Microsystems. Canon is the Microsoft/Dell/Apple in this case. Today's $299 laptop from Fry's electronics beats the $20,000 Sun Ultra Spark Station from ten years ago.

Moore's law tends to favor companies reaching up far more than companies reaching down.

Out of reach in financial terms of the majority but then, not so long ago, was the 1.5MP Kodak DCS 200. Very exciting future indeed. Mindblowing possibilities, especially the dynamic range figures.
