All I want for Christmas is a Red 617

Oh, what we could do with this! There have been rumblings on The Luminous Landscape and elsewhere about digital cameras and video morphing into a new generation of high-end photographic equipment for some time. The volcano has now started to erupt. Witness: The possibilities of the Red Epic 617 Mysterium Monstro gives me goosebumps. This is a 186 X 56mm, 261 megapixel sensor, digital stills movie camera, apparently an iMax competitor. Oh, what we could do with this! Imagine DOF image stacks, stitched panoramas… all combined in unbelievable macros as big as a house and as sharp as a tack. I’m dancing in my seat with frustration.
