Crazy times call for crazy….shootouts! And what could be a crazier battle than the one between a high-end cinema camera, known as a staple in most of the big movies and tv-series all over the world, the sweet little dream of filmmakers everywhere, a RED camera, and
Sometimes I wonder, just how friendly are each department within a camera company? I wonder this because sometimes different product lines seem to step on each other’s toes and surely affect each other’s sales figures. Some cameras compete so directly with their sister products that the rationale
