This camera has made some serious waves in the industry and combined with Nikon's new rig – both new cameras have had Red change their focus with their new camera coming out.

I'll probably get a pair of them, but only after the early adopters report that there are NO FOCUS ISSUES like the Mark 3.

I really dont think a $2500+ camera is considered a prosumer camera. The video is awesome for wedding photographers who deliver slideshows as now they can sneak in a few seconds here and there of video. They arent going to shoot the whole wedding but a nice pan shot, the vows, or some small segment would add a HUGE impact to a delivered slideshow. No pro would ever use the onboard flash so that is an unneeded component in a Pro camera.

This really looks like it's targeted at the prosumer market as there aren't any improvements in FPS, focus points or weather seal. I don't think too many pro's really give a rip about having video. That being said, I REALLY don't understand why Canon continues to not include a pop-up flash on these high-end prosumer cameras. I am not a pro and I would SERIOUSLY consider this camera if it had a pop-up flash. I rarely ever use a flash but man is it nice to know it's there when you need it. I have been a long time Canon fan but that Nikon D700 is looking better all the time.
