Sony doesn’t care about RED and ships out the F55 and F5!

As you know two weeks ago RED told Sony that they have to stop the further sale of the Sony’s F65, F55 and F5 cameras and have them destroyed…yes they literally the word “destroyed“. Sony finally answered RED and said: “Sony has now had an opportunity to study Red’s complaint and the asserted patents, and categorically denies Red’s allegations. Sony intends to defend itself vigorously in the Red lawsuit. Sony looks forward to prevailing in court, thus vindicating the Sony engineers who developed Sony’s quality digital cinema cameras.” (Source: Filmmakermagazine).

And at the same time the first batch of the new F55 (here at BH) and the F5 (here at BH) shipped out. And there is even a new firmware update (1.03). Just to say how relaxed Sony is about this RED danger :)
