- esjeon 4y agoYeah, real shame. Nikon's market hardly overlaps with RED's, and never will. This is not "free market competition", but a cheap attempt to suck out money from other companies. Probably the company has already reached the end of its own potential.
- stephen_g 4y agoI’m not saying that it’s good, but it’s not actually “patent trolling” by definition. That is patent action launched by a non-practicing entity who makes money by lawsuits instead of actually making products, and patent trolls have usually bought patents from someone else (like a bankrupt company) instead of filing them themselves. These patents are actually core parts of RED’s products (and compressing raw sensor data pre-debayer was actually fairly unique back in 2007 when they started doing it).
