$3000 is nothing for this kind of resolution. This chip is comparable to ones found in cameras costing $100,000. But you better add a little extra to your budget. Additional lenses from Red cost $5000 and up (each), plus power and hard drive storage is going to run a couple grand. You'll probably need to upgrade your editing system or at least your storage, too, for all that digital data, and maybe invest in a digital archiving system (there's no tape to shelve, you re-use the drives.) Still a great deal for an amazing product (I hope to get one in early 2009) but you have to be realistic about the cost. It's not really $3000.
