We have had MANY requests from RED ONE customers to create an option where they can keep their RED ONE and still buy an early EPIC-X.

Many of you have made your money back several times over with your RED ONE, your RED ONE has become part of your family, you want to hold on to part of your personal history... along with industry history. We get it.

We will create another option for you to consider on the 30th.

Wow. Its been said many times, but Red's business model never ceases to amaze. Bring it on..
 
You have said lots of cool thing, understanding things, hard-nosed things, revolutionary things.

But that is without a doubt the sweetest thing you have ever said.

RED ONE #1248 can take its place alongside ol' button-eyed Teddy someday.

Until then, I plan to keep it busy busy busy.
 
All i can do is just wonder how the heck RED can do this and other companies just aren't catching onto it...another option... not to mention that the 30th seems like a big announcement date for more then just the new cameras by the looks of this hint...
new option
new dates?
upgrades...

its crazy what RED can do when given time...imagine what more you guys can do when given sleep! haha
 
Makes my belly tickle... would love to keep #476, but everything has it´s price, hope it´s a good one!

I would even love to keep the shell of #476 "Mother", and put it alongside our other cameras of the past, Arri 16bl and more

Not to mention to keep using it.
 
Wow.... Can't wait....

There should be a proviso that they do a certain amount of community service for up and coming Indie's.
 
RED is made of people! Seriously behavior like this is why I'm waiting for my Scarlet instead of buying interim cams right now. Think Pany or Sony would care how you feel about your gear?

@Tim I'm already doing that and don't even have one yet :) Will be great to finally have a cam where I don't have to repair the image before I can start using it (a la Nikon, Canon).
 
I was always wondering what Red would do with 6,000 R1 bodies. :rolleyes:

Nice one, Jim! You know there is not such thing as too many cameras.

BTW, Keep in mind that Australian customers ejoy the economic stimulus package only until the end of December to buy new equipment and write 50% off it's purchase value the same financial year.

Why not make it easier for the Australian Government to contribute something towards film making and accept payments for the Epic-X before the end of the year? :beer:

Good to know... :-)

I guess I shouldn't get too excited until I see what the actual offer is, but this is fantastic.

The trade in deal that's been talked about has been too good an offer to pass up, but having to give away my RED ONE which I have quite a bit of emotional attachment to was going to be a sad day.

To be honest, I'd be fine if it was something like the RED ONE getting gutted and us getting the hollow body sent back to keep a memento.

Pawel: is that a tax credit or a deduction? Depending on your tax bracket it can easily be 25% savings here in the US (you can accelerate depreciation to 100% deduction in first year up to $110K or so-can't remember the specific number.)

R1 # 206 invoiced about 4 days after the new year so lost about $6000 in tax savings for 2007 taxes.

Depending on RED's fiscal year it might push their taxes to this year rather than next, but it sure would be nice for us out here to get that tax savings.
