#2"They were going to publish all this information on their website, but they’re apparently under attack". What's that about?

The site is (barely) working now; maybe it just couldn't handle all the fanboys.

#4I was really hoping they'd deliver on the original fixed-lens "3K for $3k" version, but that was obviously too good to be true.
Now you can build a usable RED rig for $15k instead of $25k.

#5I did a little searching and found that Panavision rents its Genesis line of digital cameras for $4,000 per day. Granted "no one pays book rate," and that price includes accessories, and the two cameras may not be equivalent. Nevertheless, why hasn't Panavision been disrupted a long time ago? Are their cameras really that good?

In some sense the Genesis and its ilk were already disrupted by the Red One, although I question how price-sensitive this market is. Does Peter Jackson care about the difference between $4K per day and $400 per day?

I'm pretty sure the whole point of RED is to disrupt companies like Panavision. I suspect people still use their cameras because that's what they were trained on, and there is significant brand loyalty in the business.
The Genesis is a digital camera that pretends to be a film camera, just like Avid is a NLE that pretends to be a film cutter.

Exactly. I'm sure the New Zealand taxpayer will cover the difference.

so we are shooting a $500M movie, $star$ is costing us $250M of that and the advertising budget is another $300M
Can we see if we can get a deal on the camera rental?

It's also part of crazy Hollywood acounting. The more you can charge against the film the better, that's why flops like Titanic and Empire strikes back still haven't made a profit
You don't want the film company to actually own anything because then the people owed money might have something to go after
