Stages, Options and Pricing

[Peter Matthes]

Due to Red's move, and the tragedy in Japan, there is obvious and understandable difficulty in predicting camera and accessory delivery dates.

However, while production is temporarily slowed, can we expect some updated stage clarification in the near future?

I'm sure that there are dozens of questions swimming out there, but I know that some include ...

When will Stage 3 and 3.5 deposits be expected, and would that added revenue grease the supply chain?
Are there any stage changes that we should know about?
What bonus modules will now be included with Stage 2 and 3?
What will the stainless steel and titanium mounts cost as an add on?
Will the Epic Side SSD module cost more, and if so, will it differ from stage to stage?
Are there any current price targets (even if estimated) for the Pro I/O module, Redvolts and/or battery packages?

I know that many people are trying to put aside money in preparation, so this kind of information would certainly help ...

Even if it is still subject to change.

This point needs immediate clarification IMO. I always assumed RED would contact each Stage 3, then 3.5 eligible camera owners and tell them (us) that their place in line is next and full payment along with the trade in camera body is due in their facility within a certain time-frame. The reason I assumed no deposit is necessary is because if a camera owner passes on Stage 3 or 3.5, the extra product just shifts to Stage 4 customers.
