Another hint...

[Jens Jakob Thorsen]

But why? Yes I am fond of that old piece of junk that made me money.
Now I want that new thing! I want to spend that money!
And in Denmark we only pay 65% income tax!

Hey Jim,

I know you can't give a definitive answer on this just yet, but how about rewarding the early Red One adopters by going in order the camera's were RECEIVED, not just going in order of serial number??

I know a lot of people early on were taking advantage of your 6 month grace period, but why should they get the opportunity over someone else who committed from the get-go? Just wondering...

while we're talking about options. I'd put in a request for the "totally broke but want an EPIC" option which is upgrading at a reduced cost to the X brain by omitting the battery and I/O modules (I can use the bricks from my R1 and most of my recording is in the field so I don't need I/O imminently)... just putting it out there...

[Brendan Johnson]

Would I be wrong in assuming that October 30 is the cut off date for buying a Red One and taking advantage of the Epic-x upgrade?

Many of you have made your money back several times over with your RED ONE, your RED ONE has become part of your family, you want to hold on to part of your personal history... along with industry history. We get it.

We will create another option for you to consider on the 30th.

Many did indeed, and many I would say majority looked at it as long term investment and took a long way with a path to the sensor upgrades.
With all the fairness you are offering it's what it is, an obsolete camera when Epic emerges.
You balance it well thought and I hope I can afford all that it's coming.
I will not be able to ditch 20.000 every year. the next realistic step for me is FF35 and I hope as a user/owner not a rental to keep going.
Love ya man:)

[Jason Beckwith]

Wow.

Cool. I had thought that there was already a policy in place to keep your Red One and get an Epic-X. By paying the full price of an Epic s35, one could get an Epic-X s35 brain, plus the modules. I thought this way already a good deal. Whatever comes from this hint will just be gravy!

BTW, the original Epic-X offer was the final catalyst for my purchase of the Red One.

I'm pretty certain that I'm not alone in my excitement for the coming announcement.

Jim,

Great thought. However, even as much as I love my Red One, I am sure I can fall in love VERY easy with my new Epic X...

I mean, it is only $10K more, and with this economy, the choice is so obvious for me. Unless the offer is too tempting, and it will not cost me my marriage.

[Pawel Achtel]

Yes, good timing to take advantage of cheap USD and help our uncle Sam in getting out of this financial mess.

[Jannard]

There is no pressure either way... that is the great thing about choices. Want to keep it, no problem. Turn it in, no problem. Do nothing, no problem. All good.

I like mu RED1, want to keep it with M-X sensor upgrade.

4.5k is enough sensor size resolution for my work at this moment.

Looking forward to get 1 1/2 stop more DR with R1M-X upgrade.
