I get the feeling that Werner enjoys taking this rebellious attitude towards a technology that so many of his art-film peers have been lauding since the release of the One. Soderberg has been shooting Red for years now. The Social Network was shot on a Red One.

The Epic is taking the technology mainstream. Peter Jackson bought 30 Epics to shoot The Hobbit with.

My on-set experience with the One, as a student, was remarkably similar. I do not, however, assume that the camera hasn't been improved greatly in the last few years. There is some credence to the complaint of the design's orientation, however. The inability to look through the lens is something that really bothered me, as the operator. It's just one reason I appreciate the careful design of film cameras.
