OT: Review comparing Canon 5DMkII with RED

Crazy thing to do considering the 10:1 difference in price, but NRK (Norwegian National Broadcasting Co.) did it.

Google translated page here.

[Google auto-translation isn't perfect. "Høylysene is utbrent" should be "the highlights are blown out" (literally "burned out").]

Note that this is comparing the "out-of-the-box" experience with the two cameras. There seem to be a lot of things possible with just some modified camera presets, and also room for firmware improvements.

A very interesting start for the 5DMkII.

And I suspect RED engineers are getting up a bit earlier and staying later at work these days...

They'll not be at NAB this year.

Hopefully they’ll be working on all the things they have announced, so they can get them out to customers before Sony and Canon, etc. wake up fully and make them road kill.
