EPIC... new option.
We will announce a new option for EPIC in the next few days.

Jim.

Any news about this? I could be doing other things than hanging out on REDuser waiting for the news to drop.
 
I find myself checking back here every few hours to check if the news has dropped. It's good to know there's an entire gaggle of people anxiously waiting as well.
 
no news yet....
 
Bah, announcing that they will soon announce something else is such a TEASE.

So its an announcement about a announcement that has no date even.

That said, man, I am sooo excited!!! I feel like a TEEN about to go on a date with a HOT girl for the first time.....
 
Actually, this sort of "hype" doesn't really get me anymore...

Is it really just marketing?..i`m not saying there`s not an element of that but i also wonder if it isn`t just Jim`s enthuisiasm bubbling over?

Kool-aid anyone? :)

Yes, it's marketing. And probably still smart and appropriate.

But it wears on you, too.

"C'mon people. Throw me a frickin' bone here ... Need the info... "

...

Oh and.BTW I'm introing a line of sharks with laser beams early next year.... :)
 
I'm with Michael on this one. I actually am trying to cut down on the amount of time I am here since all I want really is a release schedule, new about the stock issues, and the final pricing on Stage 2 upgrades to SSD drives.

So... I'm just waiting.. Cause I have no choice.

Jim Jannard - BANNED. Yeah, I don't think so.

Of course this is marketing hype but I fully believe that it's also generated by Jim's enthusiasm. Look at his multiple threads about RCX 351. The guy is having as much trouble containing himself as we are.

So, yeah, it both sucks and blows. Constantly reading these forums for news. But we do - as do the detractors and whingers - because we know something enormous is about to break (talking about Epic in general). Red will, of course, send out emails to all of those of us with a place in the line but resisting the call is impossible.
 
With how Jim has come through in the past with massive news that most of the time turns our intentions with Red products on their heads, I'll wait for the news to come out when its ready.

But to tell the truth, we've been spoiled. With what other company on any other occassion have we recieved news or even the announcement of news straight from the top?

Personally, I interpret having time between the tease and the actual news come out as a reflection of the excitement Jim has about his work. Meaning the dude has put in enough time and effort to not be able to resist sharing the good news, even if it'll take a while to fine tune any changes. In a sense, his excitement and his commitment to try and keep us as in the loop as he can is relatable to how excited an anxious we are to hear it.

In some wierd way, that makes Jim just another one of us, excited about what Red is doing and what the future holds.
 
I'll tell you what...

If RED wanted to build a massive double-opt-in SMS marketing list, they could do it in about 2 days by promising to text message the EPIC and SCARLET news via SMS 1-hour prior to posting it on REDUSER.net. I know I would give up my cell phone number and permission.

If they want to be really progressive, they would register RedUser names to cell phone numbers and accept thread posts via SMS reply to the Recon SMS alerts.

We have finished the EPIC development. Now we have to fab the boards, tooling and set up a line. While we are waiting, we can build one by one machined cameras and hand assemble with titanium mounts if there is anyone interested to pay more for something like this. We are going through now to see what we would have to charge to sell these because they will cost us a ton more than production run bodies.

There is no price increase on production EPICs. But this seemed like a way to get a few out sooner for those that can't wait.

When we have a number, we'll put it out there. There is no requirement for anyone to buy these, just kills a bit of time. If there was interest, they would go to customers by number 1st. There would be no trade in allowance. Numbers would be limited to what we can make until the line is fully operational.

It is important to note that these cameras would not delay or hold up production from the line. They are not Tattoo cameras... they would be special production cameras.

Just a thought and we wanted to hear some opinions... we can go either way.

Jim
