The upcoming Criterion DVD  release of Steven Soderbergh’s “Che”  includes a discussion about the RED ONE camera, and how digital cinema affected the production of this film.

Call him crazy, but Soderbergh took the RED ONE camera’s digital promise on faith, and was the first to use the system in a true production environment, and a very rough one at that. “Che” was shot on location in the damp jungle and in extremely hot conditions. The camera was largely untested for real production at the time, which led to a host of challenges for his camera team.
