Did the stolen RED EPIC ever turn up? Last I heard there was a $100k reward on it.
Nope. It's still missing. http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?53549-ALERT!-Please-...
Can anyone explain the use of such high resolutions? I know it could be nice to crop some parts of the movie and still have a nice set of pixels. But in reality you will just shoot the scene again or leave it out. Nowadays everybody is shooting millions of pixels but I never saw someone who used a cropped versions professionally.

Better aliasing performance (things like chain link fences won't look jagged), more sharpness retained after multiple rounds of processing, etc. Try recording a TV show in SD resolution, then record the HD version and resize it to SD. The HD-scaled-to-SD version is much sharper than the SD version.
Last time I checked HD is around 2Mpx. Why would you need 14Mpx as source material? 7 times oversampling?

"The marketshare of 2K projection in digital cinemas is over 98%."
Werner Herzog was apparently not impressed http://www.dgaquarterly.org/BACKISSUES/Winter2010/DGAIntervi... Q: What about shooting digitally? A: We used the RED camera for My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done. It's an immature camera created by computer people who do not have a sensibility or understanding for the value of high-precision mechanics, which has a 200-year history. It's terrible: Whenever you have to reboot…

If they're an order of magnitude cheaper than the competition, as is claimed elsewhere, couldn't you just buy two or three and switch when they're rebooting?
Looking forward to seeing what the next Canon 5D will do. Could very well have 2k resolution and do 120+ fps at lower resolutions with it's big full frame sensor.
Their Canon 5D and 7D stuff was really informative also.

At a fraction of the price.
The other big difference from the Red cameras and Canon is RAW versus a heavily compressed h264.
