In January 2010 I bought my first Red One. I also bought a dell precision workstation with a core 2 quad and a nvidia quadro card inside with 16 gigs of ram.
I traveled all around central and south america shooting commercials with my Red One and a Phantom.
All editorial work was done natively on the adobe suite and scratch. Phantom files were transoded to uncompressed on location.
E-sata was used and it worked flawlessly.
This was 2010 and you are saying it is the future?
I still prefer a decent workstation with a quadro card and a dream color, but for my shooting needs I got an Ibuypower with a desktop processor, a sandy bridge hexacore at 3.30 with an nvidia gtx680m. It is a beast, it’s heavy, a lot, and it has a terrible display, but it runs 5K epic at half res in PPro. It has e-sata, USB 3.0, fw800, express card, etc. It is everything but light and portable, but it is a beast!
