Thanks Matt. Wow, somebody is chasing with an Imax camera? I can't imagine the complications that could add to successfully capturing a tornado.
Here is something to consider. Despite the weight and bulk of the RED, we were able to setup and tear down in seconds with 2 people. The RED resolution is less than Imax, however with the new MX chip a clean 4K image can be shot at ASA 2000 with a 3.2K measured resolution. That light-gathering power under a dark wall cloud may help make up the difference in lower resolution.
Here is some resolution info taken from the RedUser site:
Canon 5D- 1080P output. 1.4K of measured resolution
Sony F35- 1080P output. 1.7K of measured resolution (much cleaner resolution than 5D)
RED ONE- 4K output. 3.2K measured resolution
RED ONE- 4.5K output. 3.7K measured resolution
EPIC- 5K output. 4K measured resolution
Film (ASA 100)- 4K scan. 3.2K measured resolution
Film (ASA 500)- 4K scan. 2.8K measured resolution
My research:
Imax: 6K measured resolution
Resolution comparison:
