  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Coming out of Beta...

Beta, schmeta.

Beta, schmeta.

If the choice is take the camera as is or go to the back of the line I find no fault with that. Certain features/accessories can be convincingly described as essential for professional use but cannot be strictly equated with "coming out of beta".

The camera is great and getting better. If it has to have certain capabilities for you to use it for paid work with your client base that it does not yet have, then use a different camera for those gigs.

It seems to me that the Red Leader is just trying to sort the reservation, payment, shipping issues and his policy seems fair to me. Just one man's opinion and we all know what that's worth :wacko:
 
Hey, when the iPhone was first released it was crashing left and right.

But, it wasn't an iPhoneBeta.

It still regularly gets updates with new features.

So does the RED.

At this point, (Build 13) RED doesn't crash at all.

RED is out of beta.....

Let's clarify here on EVFs...

...

As I said, production on EVFs is ramping up. So, people receiving your cameras now or soon, you will not have a long time to wait until your EVF shows up on your doorstep.

Earthling, we can most definitely ship your EVF with your camera, if you want us to hold you camera until the EVF is ready? I already know the answer is "no" :)

As I said in my reply to Jim, post #89. I think Jim got ahead of himself. obviously he hadn't realized my camera was about to ship. There is no reason I should get my EVF before those that already have their cameras, and indeed, Brent there is no doubt, please send my camera NOW, and my EVF soon! :-D

Cheers,
Damien

This thread is becoming a bit silly caught up in semantics. Call it beta call it whatever...This camera is amazing as are the folks behind it.

Note the title of this thread is not "RED Camera is amazing and so are the people who sell it."

There are enough of those threads already. This is a thread about "coming out of beta." Therefore don't act surprised when people discuss that topic.

easy to say.. but not so easy to do. The LCD has a completely different resolution than the rest of the chain.. so you need to send it a completely different feed.

Understood Jarred, all I meant to say was that many RED owners currently have possession of their RED LCD's and have for months now. (Many being atleast around 75 % of current cam holders)

Only a handfull, (and this is all a guesstimate at this point) aside from a select few have possession of RED EVF's.

I've understood that the LCD delivers a lower res feed which is creating the delay we now have on mutiple outs + LCD, but I would have thought that if any feed should have been stressed in the chain to be delivered first it would have been the one most were going to be using out the gate.

With that being said, where's my beautiful EVF? :biggrin:

you can wait as long as you want Martin.. you just move to the back of the line.

Post 1: Does this mean if I opt out of the current batch I get moved to the end of the line WITH my $2500 accessory credit?

Post 2: OK...just got the answer to this from Nate at Red. The $2500 accessory credit gets forfeited if reservation holders in this batch (through cam 500) pass and go to the end of the line...
 
Gotta ask: We're #712, and going to be using Nikon lenses exclusively. It'd be really depressing to get our cam next month or so and not use it until the Nikon mount is available. Is there a provision to allow waiting to receive the camera once the Nikon mount is shipping as well? *praying* :biggrin:

just a FYI. re-work of the Nikon Mount has just begun :)

Accessory credit stays with camera serial number. if you move to the back of the line, you will have a different serial number.

FYI, we will be sending out an email in the next few days to everyone in the first 500 who has not taken delivery of their camera so even people not on REDUSER 24/7 will have this info :)

Thanks, BC

Thanks for that heads up, Stephen. I never heard about the Ultracam BNCR mounted lenses being different. I'd be grateful if you could email me the specs that make them different.

Brent,

Maybe it's my poor english...

I have #403 reservation..., made the deposit long time ago etc...

I tried today to order accessories before making a global wire transfer next week.

I ended receiving a order form including a new camera...

I'm not able to have an invoice with my #403 camera, minus the original deposit, plus acessories, minus the 2500$ credit.

I sent a email to sales@red... waiting.

the store/account is really difficult to work with...really...

Now, how do i see my account ?

I want my camera and accessories, and i'm ready to pay next week.

thanks

What about the on-line store coming out of BETA? I would love to have more of a description of the items in the on-line store. Right now you have to search around the site to find out all the specs.

That's a great point! I'd love to see weights, dimensions and explanations of what everything is and how we might use it.
 
I have sent sales@red an email too, about transferring the deposit i paid for 18-85mm to the 18-50mm lens. Awaiting the reply so that I can make the final payment to Red.

And i also asked about the LCD and EVF cable, do I need to order them or does it come with the LCD and EVF?

Both the LCD and EVF come with a lemo video/power cable.
 
Really??

Really??

Red has never made those promises...

i always knew no matter how many times we plastered the "specs change" statement everywhere and yelled it out, someday someone would pretend to not have heard it.

Hello Jarred,

Would you mind qualifying this statement by Jim please:

http://www.reduser.net/forum/showpost.php?p=106246&postcount=2

Now I am not trying to start a fight but since there has not been any other statements lately about 1080p it would be good to hear how the second build is coming along. If you are unable to answer this, then maybe Jim or someone else from Red could give us an update.

Thanks in advance for your time on this question.

Respectfully

Our "Video Build" is still in the works. But the whole schedule has been pushed back with all the changes and improvements we have been making to the camera and firmware. We haven't forgotten. No time frame announced. That way, we can't miss a deadline. :-)

Jim
