11 days...

[Jannard]

With 11 days to go, I want to take a moment to thank all of you. We have listened. At 1st, it was difficult. We kept saying to ourselves "don't these guys know how difficult this stuff is?"... and "if they want that, they should try and build one themselves!". Then we really began to get comfortable with the tiger we had grabbed hold of. And many of the suggestions actually seemed within reach. So we decided to really stretch ourselves. The results of that stretch will become apparent on the 13th. Many of you have had input that pushed us to reach higher.

Of course there have been many suggestions that are just out of the question. They are either impossible or not realistic at a reasonable price. If those suggestions were serious (I sincerely hope they were not)... a few might actually be disappointed. But I doubt it. Especially if everything is considered.

Long way around saying that many of you have made a difference. That really is what this forum is supposed to be about. If we responded harshly early on, it was just because we didn't know how to do it all. Now we do. Well, at least much of it.

Put your helmet on. The 13th is near. It is only fitting that I should post here 1st, then on red.com. You guys matter.

can't wait to see what you've been cooking.

It's great that the RED team has put effort into figuring out HOW to do things that customers wanted, even if it wasn't in the original plan. That's just still badass to me.

Thanks Jim and team.

Hey Jim, we can't thank you and your team enough for your tireless effort.

Awesome. Now I can't wait. Glad to hear it, looking forward to seeing what you guys have come up with.

The 1:1 magnification is a perfect example of what was considered impossible just a short while ago. Now we have it and it is a very big deal. Thanks.

So a cappuccino dispenser on the scarlet is still out of the question or was that one of the more reasonable requests. :sad: I don't drink coffee any way so it will probably be okay either way. You know best.

I respect all what is happening its your policy, plan ... my only question is: why you made us wait all this time without feeds? the policy of RED ONE didn't have all that wait for exposing what in the labs.. I just wanted to know the reason behind the plan of holding information until a certain time...

 

[Dory Breaux]

I gotta say, you guys are the only company I have ever come across (with the exception of some bike or ski companies) that actually take this much personal interest in and care of your customers. Even those who dont use your products (yet).

Also, you deliver.

We are all in this together Jim...I dont know anyone here who did not take a risk. RED has proven to be more then just a camera, but a successful business model and community that I am grateful to be a part of. Until then, cheers!

We are doing things we never thought possible... just want to make sure we can prepare the presentation properly. When we do post, it will be very obvious why we needed a bit more time to "spill the beans".

Lol, those pesky customers, quite a bitch eh?

I have no doubt you'll make our jaws drop, now if you can deliver working (non-Beta) product 5-8 months later, then I'll be happy
