Hi everyone, I am about to buy an epix x red dragon and could use some advice. I was going to order a new camera from red via the local dealers and have paid about 85 %. It was for a very basic packge, the brain and only the absolutely critical bits to start filming. The current dollar exchange rate has added a lot to the price over the last couple of months. In an effort to help me the dealers have offered to sell one of their demo red x models with more bits and pieces in the package. It has been rented out for 3 jobs and has clocked up 160 hours. The dealer says there is nothing wrong with the camera and the sale is motivated by their interest in the weapon to cater for big clients (at 2 million zar that is way beyond my budget and probably overkill for someone starting out).




The camera is under guarantee, the seller/ dealer / distributor will show me the ropes of using a dragon (I never used one), promises to help me with any problems I may have and I already have a good relationship with them.




Is 160 hours a lot? What should I keep an eye out for? It seems like a good deal and a sensible purchase. (I think what bugs me is that the camera has been out of the rentals store in strangers' hands. Out of the shop on a shoot, it is impossible to tell how the camera was handled.) I guess the fact that I would be being it from a local red dealer makes a huge difference (vs a private sale from an overseas seller).

[I saw the package yesterday. Externally it is in excellent / superb condition. It is under the 2 year guarantee and the transfer of ownership status is being investigated. I have requested a detailed rental history.ie who used the camera, for what/ how and where.]

Thanks Uma
