The Red Camera Company is owned by Jim Jenard.  Jim Jenard started Oakley (bmx bar grips)and just sold the majority of his shares a few years ago.  He still has major shares in Oakley but is now concentrating on Red.  Jim has always been into photography and actually owns probably one the biggest collections of cameras knowen.

Ya, he introduces himself as Jim.  Thanks for correcting the spelling of his last name.  That was very rude of me!

they have so many ridiculous attachments and when you get all the stuff you want on the camera it is way to much money

also because of jim, I believe that the optics of RED cameras are manufactured by the same people who do oakley optics. not 100% on this though. but I do recall hearing something about oakley lens technology being used on RED lenses
