I heartily recommend those that are brave (and if you are 1-100 you absolutely qualify) to upgrade to Build 12. Don't forget to do the Black Shading Calibration.

Why get conservative now? We are going to replace your cameras in a month anyway!

Build 12 is historic...

Good to now dear Jim, but how can I try built 12 without getting my 222. Some news out there?
 
We will ship cameras this month...

Hi Daniel

Looks like you will have a nice gift under the Christmas tree very soon. I would say: better late than never! And facing firmware built 12 and all the hardware improvements it was worth to wait!

Happy New Year to you, the RED team and all colleagues waiting for their gifts,

Roland

(Mine will be ready in April/May.)
 
OMG!

I'm so excited, I just can't hide it! I'm loosing control but I think I like it!

edit: After writing that silly post it hit me: it's been 2 years and 20 days that I first heard of the RED and been following along. I still remember that first article by Mike at hdforindies (read it here: LINK). How far they've gone and how much they taught us in the way. Amazing, History in the making and we got to seat first row all along. Thanks to Jim's generosity, passion and patience. OK, I'll stop now or I'll start crying... But seriously Jim: THANK YOU SO MUCH.

edit 2: just re-read the whole article. the comments are priceless!

Hey Jim,

In terms of improved image quality, as I remember you saying elsewhere that if you use build 12 you'llget "great images" and if you don't, you won't, how much better is the image now? What has improved and how, less noise, more DR, what exactly makes the older images "not great" (even though we know they were) as compared to the new ones? I don't need a white paper on it but one of your succint and to the point paragraphs listing exactly where the new magic resides would do...or point me somewhere where I can read about it.

Thanks,
 
Jim, great stuff etc. but take at least those 5 minutes and save what you can from the day. We know your goals and they are humble.
We appreciate yours and everybodies elses dedication at RED, but pleease, take a minute.
Its cristmas.
Merrymerry, and so on.
 
Since my camera is coming in the next batch, I'm wondering if it will come with build 12 already installed?

Hi,

I guess they will be past build 12 by then!

I believe build 12 isn't out of beta yet (Jim said a few more days), and my camera ships next week.

Hi Thor,

Have you been asked for payment yet?

Stephen
 
Stephen, yes, I have been asked for payment.

SF Geek, I don't know if it will ship specifically on Monday, but Jim said "by the end of the month".

I'll be wiring them the money on Friday.

I've read through the feature upgrades in build 12 [thank you for fixing the sensor flare!], but does the upgrade go beyond these features? Is there a notable image quality/noise/compression difference, or is it another "normal" upgrade with new features?

Just curious... don't want to step into a beta firmware from which we can't return. :)

So far I dont see any noticeable improvement. The blocky compression in the shadows looks the same. But my testing has been limited so far.

Hi Patrick,

I think Daniel will be the first, but there are many cameras in the first 600 AFAIK.

My bank (wamu) said it would take an average of two business days for the transfer to complete. You might want to do it thursday to be safe, unless your bank does things faster or unless you don't mind waiting an extra day.

There still is a chance it may come friday but we'll see. I can hardly sleep hehe.
