RED’s Jim Jannard says DSLR Video users are Noobs

I’m just kidding. He didn’t call you a noob. He said you “should be embarrased” using a DSLR.  Wait, is that worse? Either way, it’s nice to know Jim Jannard can use his RED to go shoot the $700 Vitamin Barn spot you just shot, ’cause you needed the money, but the rest of us are cool using this technology so we can enjoy the other things in life “thank you very much.”

I fully expect the DSLR mfgs to get it right at some point. Make a non-line-skipping 4K camera. At that point, the difference will be RAW 5K and 6K vs. whatever they make. Until then, a line-skipping 1080P camera is just not in the running for a pro camera. Can you make OK images with a line-skipping 1080P camera? Sure. Should you be embarrassed? Yes. We are not in that business.

I saw the Canon commercial about shooting “motion stills”. They should be ashamed. Just try to take a still from their motion 1080P capture…

Red is media hype…….you want to shot something that looks like film…SHOOT FILM! Red can’t compete with film.
