You guys do an excellent job, thanks. The Red Centre podcast has re-energised me for stills photography too. I allways dreamed of having a chip on my old SLR’s backplane and loved the glass viewfinder (imagining the amazing colour range appearing on the monitor back at home), alas that dream died in the 90’s.
And we still cant have a nice glass VF!
Anyway you were wondering aloud about HDR for video, well here is someones attempt have you seen it?

I too wondered if the lines that get skipped in the Canons could be remapped for a different voltage and read out for different stop value?
The Red idea was really cool though.
