Hey Jim, you're a parent...do you ever get a mental image of the RedUsers kicking the back of your chair "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How'bout now??" :-)

Oh but that's not fair! You HAVE your camera and I don't! So when, when, when? Jim promised!
 
If my camera starts crying in the middle of the night....I'm going to be very angry

The only reason your camera will be crying is because it wants to go out and shoot something. You would be best to oblige.

Back on topic: To sum up the evening's events, there is a possibility that things will get back on track in December but only if the mount issues are worked out. There is a chance that cameras through serial #600 could be in their owners hands by january 1st. Again, this is all dependent on mount and any other issues that might pop up.

Hi, re deliveries....we're #241 which I'm assuming will be ready middle December(?) Can we pay the full amount when delivery is announced and then wait till it's fully featured to actually pickup the camera? Is there a post that clearly outlines all payment/pickup options...? thanks...
 
I'm not speaking for anyone at Red here, but i highly doubt that they will be able to ship up to 600 by January 1. Maybe I'm wrong, but I wouldn't count on it.

Yes, you can wait until it is fully featured before picking it up.

Well, they are supposed to ship 700 units a month starting January, what better way of practicing than shipping 500 in december, they have planned the ramp up for some time, so I say they are probably prepared for it. But as we know, everything can change and we can count on it changing...

I agree about the not counting on it, I am not going to count on anything/rent anything or schedule anything until the camera is here beside me - working.
 
Many thanks Jim for the delivery update. Would it be possible for us to know what SN you expect to ship out by Dec and also on Jan 2008?

thanks,
Oli

Oli, I think Jim's position right now is that their priority is getting the new mount fixed and if all goes well they will resume shipping in December. But he is not committing to it right now and maybe for good reason. He doesn't want to compromise that lens mount just to make a shipping date. It's tough waiting this out for sure, but that's all we can do right now as these guys work hard to make sure there are as few issues as possible.

From Jim earlier in the thread

Right now we are focused on finishing the new lens mount. We are almost there. When we get it done and it passes Jarred's torture testing, we will begin production. Camera bodies are lined up waiting for the lens mount. We can't give too much detail on production until the lens mount is finished. Trust me, we are working overtime to get this done.

Jim,

I'd love to have a date I can count on, but I'd rather have a more perfected camera!

Your straightforwardness is worthy of our patience.

Will it be, really at 98%? by the time you have shipped the first 1000

Dear RED TEAM;

I have been following you guys, long before I booked my camera #958.

I am right now configurating my accesories list to book them. I am not in a rush, but there is something that really worries me.

No one talks, about the overheating that the camera suffers after a few minutes of recording. Is that problem being sort out? or is that the way we will have to work?,(shoot a few minutes-wait a bit to cool down).

I also will take the oportunity, to ask for the best dealer in USA for an
O connors tripot.

Thanks guys for being all the time out there.
