If you need to shoot now, then take a look at a pre-owned RED ONE market. Picking one up now, will allow you to shoot amazing footage now. Making money from it, now. Like waiting for the best computer, best still camera, or best phone, you will be waiting forever.

If you start shooting with a RED ONE right now, you will be blown away with it. You will learn your work flow for acquisition and post. That will mean that you can earn money from your RED, and the time to aquire your EPIC or Scarlet will be that much quicker, as you will be out shooting, rather than waiting. Waiting for Godot.

@ Alexey Datsenko
Apart from it being unreadable and I don't even understand if you have a camera or not, you state both.
This q has been asked an answered a lot of times and this is a life's q. Nobody can answer it for you but you.
However I can give you a tip. Don't use anything as an excuse to not do what you want to do. But do it in a different way.... Scared of buying ->rent..... or buy something else. Or as above mentioned secondhand.
If you want to shoot images? Go, please do that. It does not matter which camera you use. (of course it does but it is more important to shoot and life ain't perfect)

For The bug. I think critters are interesting but can be a bit of nuisance.
About production.. this is a bit of a dilemma I have, Because things will be more financial expensive if you build close to home but if done right is it really? And what about those costs that we don't pay now? Like the fact that it is becoming more and more difficult to find qualified workers? Is that really worth 500.- something on a total price of 4750.- somethings?
 
JIM IS BACK! You need to have some loud trumpet sounds to go along with the post :) Hope you're in good health and feeling in good mad Red Leader spirits.

Don't sweat the delays. Some of us have been waiting since 2006 for you guys to offer something we can afford :P - we can wait a little longer...

BTW, very glad to hear you hired more people! Even if the new SWAT team's only job is to bring your current employees baskets of grapes and back massages as they sweat through it.

Good thing is R1 MX is out in the wild, while we all wait for lighter cameras.

In my book EPIC can come when it's done.

I think timing is more of an issue with the Scarlet crowd...

Anyhow. Good to see you back and good luck killing off the bugs.

This is the best news I could ever read @ reduser.net -- the leftover doesn't really even matter comparing with this. You are in our thoughts, you've always been. Even with people who you don't even know they exist. But they ask for you. Go figure 'cause they're facts. We do care about you ;-)

All the Best,
E. :-)

The more I deal with suppliers (including my beloved Apple) the more I develop a huge appreciation for how rare Red's approach to development and customer feedback is. This kind of post is invaluable in planning the short-term future and making sure one's ducks are firmly in a row for the day my 5k 125fps HDR beasts arrive at my doorstep.

Great to hear the positive health news Jim. Best of luck to you and the team in the bug-hunt.
 
Jim - Top Priority - Your back, clean bill of health and at the helm again. That's great.

Minor Legacy - What you are doing now will be the democratisation of Film making. While many who watch the movies that are made with you cameras will not know you, we will. I like your humility but this is really special. Thank you for your honesty ad straight forward approach to communicating with your current and future customers.

The Bug -
Here's my two cent. Finding a bug can be like finding your car keys. Sometimes they are right under your nose. Sometimes it's about perception, and pre concieved ideas about where the keys are not. If I had a 20 man team hunting the bug I would get 10 of them and lock them in individual rooms for two day, let the other 10 work together. Then rotate them. You might find the bug faster. Like finding a needle in a haystack - 20 man team philosophy - Divide haystack into twenty parts and search - 10 Teams may come up with metal detectors, magnets, someone might realize the needle is still in the car because he isn't looking at the haystack.

Good luck with 'The Hunt for Red Bug'.

Regards,

It's good to have you back Jim; I'm sorry to hear about the delay, if not only then because I can just imagine how much it grieves you and the team who are working so hard!
Let's just celebrate the Red One for a little longer then!
 
Welcome back, Jim! Glad you're fit and healthy again! :hurray:
Crossing my fingers for you and your team!
 
the question of "to upgrade to MX or NOT" comes back into play... i'm 4619 certain of buying stage 3 Epic.

Soo does this delay mean a MX upgrade makes more sense now? (would have to make alot more sense than if I buy a 4750usd upgrade only to turn it in with my body 3months later...:)

Life is short. People are measured by what they do... and not what they say they are going to do. So trust me when I tell you I will not rest until we do what I said we will do.

Jim you've done far more to change this industry than anyone else I know.

Even if Epic/Scarlet never appear you have irrevocably changed the landscape.

So if people are measured by what they have done.............
 
Most of us bought our ticket to ride long, long ago. We're not gettin' off now and are happily making room for new riders. Just keep stokin' the fires and we'll get there when we get there. (Just hope the toilets don't back up)

Reasonable question. While we have several hardware items that require modification, but the primary "bug" is a firmware issue. The capabilities of these cameras are absolutely incredible (many features we haven't yet announced)... so the complexity of the system is beyond complicated. Somewhere in the firmware we have a big problem. I'm confident that we will solve it and deliver more than anyone expects... but for now we have a gremlin.

The past couple of years we have been on a roll. Humility has now set in. Until we solve this one... we are heads down and nose to the grindstone. Probably not a bad lesson for us to learn.

any update on the (many features we haven't announced yet)?
