Epic To Ship February

[Liam Hall]

In case you missed Jim's announcement:

1. We have bent over backwards for our customers. We aren't stopping that now.
(EDIT)

6. We expect assembly of production cameras to begin in modest amounts by early February and full ramp up by early April... before NAB.

BTW... if we DO do this program, a handful would be shipped in Dec. and more in January.

Hope that helps... now go eat something and calm down. Happy Thanksgiving. :-)

I'd like to know how many per week full ramp will mean, but I think that gets a woo and a hoo:)

I think the language was "We expect". Slightly less definitive.

[Anson Fogel]

In normal speak, I read that to mean I may have my Stage 2 EPIC in the May/June timeframe. Which strangely enough, was about what I expected!

[Mark Allen]

Thanks for pointing this out. I couldn't get myself to read the other thread. However, note that he says "assembly" to begin. Not "deilvery" to begin.

Great news

[Pawel Achtel]

I think the opinions largely differ depending on two unknowns:

1. How much time difference are we talking about?
2. What is the additional cost?

Without at least rough idea on 1. and 2. I don't think anyone can give a meaningful answer.

Edit: OOPs, sorry I missed Jim's guidance on the time scale, so it is just the matter of cost.

Can I get a link to the original comment so I can see the context? What program is Jim talking about?

Jim has just said you are looking at about 45K for handbuilt/custom Epic Brain.
People can take or leave it, he is offering it as a service to customers.

After reviewing this thread I am more convinced than ever we should build these machined, hand built bodies. I'll announce a price (probably around $45K just for the brain) and see if anyone wants them. I will probably build some anyway because it is in our customers best interests. We will learn a lot from the process. If no one wants them, I'll keep them for myself... Jim

A bit out of my league but great for those who can afford it. The great thing about Red is they are looking after all professional users from the indi- guy (me) to the big guys.

I just wish we had a time scale for the Fixed Scarlet and S35; these are my Epic.

[Pawel Achtel]

Great.

Any information about trade in allowance, execution of Stage 2 or 3, priority in the queue, etc.., or is it still in the works as we speak?
