EPIC-S (old Scarlet S35) update...

[Jannard]

will there be a weight differential?

are these chassis identical enough to shot an -S and an -X in a 3D config? I'm guessing the answer is yes...

A couple of ounces different.

You can shoot them both in a 3D rig IF you stay at constrained resolution/frame rate/compression settings.

Any reasonable budget project will want EPIC-X so they don't have to think about the constraints.

So should I really wait for Epic, or if 5K Mysterium X is good enough for me, just buy a used Red One MX?

RED ONE is 4.5K - it won't have higher frame rates, data rates, it won't be as mobile, and it won't have HDR

If you don't feel you will miss these things, by all means, buy a used MXed RED ONE - it is still best-of-breed for many applications and will probably be ahead of or at least in line with the rest of the pack for a long time to come. Its main competition will be its big brother.

AWESOME NEWS

Jim, does this mean, that even People on stage 3, and with high numbers, such as (6000-8000) will have there EPIC-X shipped around May?

thanks

Yes, I'd also love to know about this as it could mean the difference between going for an Epic M ( if I was elligible ) or an Epic X, if it looked like an Epic X delivery in 2012 for those high numbers. Many thanks

Shawn, I assure you - what Jim said is true. And being able to choose less compression for shots with high detail is a major thing. Epic-S sounds like an amazing bargin - but I'll take as many Ms + Xs and I can get.

That's what I wanted to hear, because that's where my marbles are. thanks Mark, happy new year and may the next 364 days of 2011 be blissful!

$3750 for 2/3", $12000+ for Epic-S...seems like there's room for something between these two...

[Steve Das]

$12k. That just made my day:)

More like that just made my..year..or my last 2 years :)

[Patrick Tresch]

At the beginning there was a prevision of about 50 Epic-M produced. Does any one know how many Epic-M will be actually produced before launching the Epic-X line?

Thanks

[Jean Pierre Schoch]

I have the same question.
and Jim if the answer is yes, when we will know some more details about Stage 3 program?

Thanks
