    An Argument for RTF

    Guess we've flown the 550 about 20-30 packs or so... And we've chased guys on bikes, chased dumptrucks, chased cars, inspected huge piles of garbage, chased lizards at two feet above the ground, flown high enough to get scared, got some great panoramas up there, tested the range limits of our...

    RED Killer? Sony F5 - F55

    Canon missed HORRIBLY with the C300 and 1DC - Looks like the Sony F5 just might be the next Epic at half the price. (even the FS-700) gets 4K albeit w an external recorder at an ungodly and unannounced price) So... F5 at 15K - 1080p @ 120fps out of the box. w 4k downstream. Could be tasty!
