Im fine with red users overpaying for consumer ssds.
But the removal of cdng on blackmagic cameras really diminished the amount of potential allies in this scenario.
its like free speech, sure you’re free to say what you want, but that doesn’t mean you’re free of a change in public perception.
Red has been exposed as sue crazy, and they’re free to do that, but it’s proven to be a PR disaster. As a consumer why would I want a company crippling the features of my future purchases?

I honestly wish they would keep cineform in the camera's alongside Prores, I much prefer the Cineform codec.

Adobe is very slow to upgrade things. I hate how you have to nest when adding some fx (stabilize and twixtor) to non native res files. Fit to fill sucks, max motion effect sucks. Ame has room to improve too. It should have pass through for audio (especially when you can only relink to files with same amount of audio channels DUH), same as source frame rate, and ability to add pre/suffix to file names. Edit ready is much better.  The fan boys ruin it for those who want to improve the software. Customers need to be more demanding.

I own the current flagship iPhone but I hate Apple these days. So glad resolve and premiere are cross platform. I can't stand a company that refuses to share tech.  The lack of prores on windows sucks. We must spend our money on platform agnostic companies.  I just built an amd ryzen 1700 system for cheap. 300 for CPU, $100 mobo, $225 64gb ddr4 ram. I'm using my old 980ti and ssds. Media componer doesn't run so well on ryzen it so I'm thinking of going kaby lake 7700k ($300), and $150 motherboard.  Apple is the only company in the world that has convinced idiots that a modular system is bad.  I like Wozniak (he was actually techy), but Steve jobs was a salesman who sold koolaid to millions of people. Think different my ass, you can't even chose your own hardware like a gpu. 
If i edit at a production company it's usually on a mac.  These companies just don't care about performance anymore. A lot of these places are using iMacs and editing media on gigabit. And of course they disable spotlight on the network so you can't search for shit.  I totally prefer to edit on my cuda enabled windows box off ssds where I scrub through media like butter.  Mac is good for 1 thing now, you can export prores from tons of software.

Everyone should collectively not buy this camera until these features are released.  They could very easily delay the release of all these paid features..

Since its a smaller improvement from what we expected, a price cut would be nice.  How about the old $500 summer special.

I just sold my a7s.
I'm skipping this one and waiting for the a7sII.
