More info on RED, including from Jim Jannard himself 

RED article at HD For Indies - Page 2 - The Digital Video Information Network

Over on the second page of the DVInfo.net discussion of the article I put up, Jim Jannard himself chimes in several times with his hopes for the camera. A guy named Steve Gibby puts in a beautifully concise description of digital's evolution and the revolution potential it offers for creatives. I especially like how he points out that those creatives (right brain skills) must learn all these rapidly evolving digital tools and workflows (left brain skills) in order to be competitive. He totally nails, in a few paragraphs, the exact ethos of why I started HD For Indies - master your tools to make better art (I just focus on the left brain side for the most part).

Jim Jannard himself says that they will have a non-functional prototype of the camera at NAB.

Go read the rest of the thread (and start with page one to catch all the details from the start, and read on as it evolves (it's up to three pages now).

does anyone know at what price point this camera is likely to be at?
 
Yeah, Jim Jannard knows.
Unfortunately he's not talking.
 
We hope to sell a lot of these and recognize that price is a MAJOR factor. We don't want to disappoint in any area of the program.

I'm on the verge of buying an hd sony, What sort of time factor are we looking at for your red?
 
GWhoose - Jim's already publicly stated that they'll be showing nonfunctional prototypes at NAB in April 2006. Not a functional prototype, a non-functional prototype.
 
Thanks for the kind words Mike! I've read HD For Indies for a long time now. It's one of my favorite online tech boards. It's time for me to take it to the next level and start contributing some comments...
