I can't speak for this model. However, in the past, the problem with the RED has been the rolling shutter, the same problem you find in DSLR's. Instead of capturing full frames, it's scanning from top to bottom at 24fps. It's fine for static shots, but as you introduce motion, or fast moving subjects, you get a "jelly" effect. I have a friend who does highend visual effects. In his experience, the RED also isn't suited for green screen work. Can't remember off the top of my head if it's for rolling shutter or the dynamic range, but it's another limitation. However, it hits a sweet spot for less demanding productions, like The Social Network.

The rolling shutter artifacts are present, yes, but it's in the range of a movie camera. Movie cameras also have some slight jelly in fast pans, something not many people are aware of.

All of them substantially faster than other sensors which can be in the 20's." http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?42240 http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?42240 "The mechanical shutter "wipes" across the film in a similar way to how a CMOS sensor is read.

Huh? http://www.red.com/experience http://www.red.com/experience <- From my experience with RED, foundry's rolling shutter gets rid of the errors quite easily http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/rollingshutter/ http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/rollingshutter/ and everything I've ran through flame or smoke that was shot on key with red had no problem (related to camera). REDs are a great tool. And cheap. ARRI Alexa is better, from my experience, but it comes with a premium.. and panavision you can rent only, of course. TBH, camera is the least important factor in shooting a feature/commercials quality look, as long as it's not a DSLR (no matter what popular belief is among prosumers). If you get cooke S4 lenses or other high quality lenses onto RED, Alexa or any other similar camera, you won't notice much of a difference, and each prime lens costs as much as camera alone.
