I would love to get confirmation of this fact. As Quirk said, Silverlight enables this kind of downloading..but I wonder if it can get its orgins from the actual camera you use. > There has probably been a lot of discussion here about Red that I've missed! > For now I'm pretty chuffed with my new HF200 and not having to juggle tapes > any more.

We havent spoken about the RED camera much here because no one has one yet (or admitted to it). We have pointed to the small RED camera that they're working on that will be pro-sumer. Currently, we've all been trading examples of what the DLSR's (Mark V/VII + Lumix) can do. A number of people here arenow using them for their video work. The SLR lenses seems to really make the difference. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://momentshowing.net http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790
