I’d really like a Nikon D3. It’s a shame my budget can’t afford it right now. The D3 is an amazing, break through camera – for a variety of reasons. It’s the camera that has some photogs regretting their switch to Canon (translation: Folks not shooting Nikon are kinda jealous right now). As amazing as the D3 is, I’m starting to feel pretty good about not having one right now. See, if I owned a D3, then I wouldn’t have a justification for purchasing a newly rumored RED DSLR. I’m literally drooling over the prospect. If RED can do for the still camera industry what it’s done for the video, we’ve got a heckuva camera on our hands .
Reading between the lines, and applying a little RED history 101, we expect to see a stripped-down still camera with modular add-ons, a very sensitive and film-like full-frame sensor and some crazy shooting speeds due to the RAW compression.

My speculations on features:
  • 20+ FPS
  • 12mp
  • video capablities
  • able to use the existing RED glass
