I saw this article just yesterday: https://www.nikon.com/company/news/2024/0307_01.html. Apparently camera manufacturer RED (stupid all-caps!) will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nikon. This will likely unsettle both the marketplace and the technology for a while, as Nikon integrates RED into its management and its product line. Will it be to creators' advantage or disadvantage? I can see arguments both ways.

My buddy called me about this, last night. Neither of us use RED products. If the company dissolves, it could be good for other manufacturers, in regards to Cinema DNG and other codecs made available. Or, Nikon could prop them up and expand RED's reach.
It was very interesting to go to NAB and see the size of RED's tiny booth, compared to the huge Blackmagic setup.
