I feel like RED pulled the plug on DSMC2 because DSMC3 is Significantly better from an operational standpoint. About everything that kept me from investing in DSMC2 is fixed. I wouldn't hate something similar to the Gemini chip in the Raptor Body. Sometimes, you just don't need or want 8k files. 5k is great for a lot of projects. Give me some room to re-frame a shot and still have a 4k deliverable and Im happy.
I think they're trying to get away from having so many proprietary accessories ASAP. They finally let go of the expensive REDMags and started giving the camera's decent I/O out of the box.
Personally, I've really enjoyed using the new cameras. There is definitely some pain points with this shift, but i think its good.
