In Short
new European rule says any digital still camera with a resolution higher than 800x600 recording video of 30 minutes of more (at 23 fps or higher) must now be classified as a 'video camera recorder'.

That's pretty carzy, If you don't think so, just compare it to how fast
the sdxxx series in Nikon is advancing

Eventually DSLR's could catch up with RED. Although I think it would take a long time.
