[QUOTE="JDFlood, post: 217854, member: 11653"] I have been choppin at the bit to get a 4K monitor... I am very close to getting one. I have followed RED for a couple years at least. It ain't going to happen... doing away with still photography. It is like the PC, it came first, then the laptop, then the smartphone, tablet... none of them does away with anything else... they serve a different niche. I have a D800, I was on the waiting list... I think I took a video twice... but forgot to look at them. If I was a wedding photographer, maybe I would have to. But they are different median. If someone wants to take a still photo, they are going to pick up a device suited to the purpose. If someone shoots video, and also needs to create a still once in a while... well the RED is good for them. I was certain the SLR was dead, it's not. I am fortunate enough to own a D800, a Fukji XE-1 and a Leica X2. I would not trade in any of them. If I want to take video, I am still going back to a device that is centered around panning and zooming. I know it is fun to get on the bandwagon of change... I personally love change. I anticipate having a 70+" 4K TV by next year, improving my ability to show still photos around the house, and I can't wait for the monitor. But I think it is going to be a long time before camera primarily designed for still photography are on the way out. It's like you can do heavy duty word processing on a tablet... and you can do content consumption on a PC... but when you have a choice, and we all will, content consuption works on a table best and word processing works on a PC the best, so that is where they are going to get done.
