I've been reading about RED's prototype prosumer camera for 12 years now. Lols.

Usually when people carry on about pro features, it's because they are working operators, who are renting their skills for commercials. They want a big sexy rig that their clients will find impressive, and a wide range of professional features so that they can offer their client lots of "looks". I constantly need to remind myself, that not all advice I read online is directed for me. If you're a working director, with a set style you've developed over the years, you've probably figured out the combination of location, lights and post-production you need to achieve your images. Forums about a new LUTs, extra bit rates, slightly sharper lens are fun to nerd out about, but the reality is, none of the upgrades in specs would affect recognizable directors like Kubrick, Wes Anderson, Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry or David Fincher. You could easily shoot the Godfather on an A7s II.
