Schedule and Machined EPICs...

[Jannard]

Jim, did you really think you were NOT going to get this response? Good idea on the package EPIC-M (names not going anywhere)...I hope that my production EPIC-x will stand up against this machined beast. I know we all have experienced the quality variations from different manufactures over the years, so I am can only asume you have selected the best of the best.

Maybe you should make the machined EPIC-Ms out of something sexier, like titanium.

We could machine them out of titanium... package price goes to $78K. :-)

anyone remember that canon 5dm2 ad with the word M and epic?
kinda ironic now

[C.H.Haskell]

NEw Titanium machined built EPIC-M for 78k. Any takers? This is too fun.

[Eric Ulbrich]

im in. Ill take me a titanium body!

[J Davis]

found it. An Epic begins with an M, that's just waaay to funny

[AnthonyFlores]

Jim, other than prestige/exclusivity, coolness and getting the product a little early ... are there any other advantages of getting this machined version?

You are great marketers -- but I think there are a % of people who don't fully even understand what the benefits of something being machined versus produced in a more mass way.

I think one of the coolest things about this will be just seeing one of these badboys in production and seeing actual footage ;-)

Jim, now you have me figuring out how to have an EpicM and my EpicX :-)

Ah!!! So cool!

[Daniel García]

I could hardly believe that was an official Canon ad when it came out.
EPIC written in RED letters...
Too perfect not to be a joke.

What was that marketing department thinking?

[Pawel Achtel]

Does anyone know how much I can get for a kidney on eBay?

There is absolutely no advantage whatsoever to this package over a production EPIC... except timing. That is why I am surprised at the response. I guess some people can make back their money in 2 months. That would explain it. Or the fact that you have something that is next to impossible to own. I want one. But I didn't think there are others like me.

No marketing effort here. We'll save that for production EPICs... which will turn the industry upside down, inside out and backwards.
