I've seen a number of assumptions about when certain numbers might be delivered.

Any word from red crew about production goals, batch sizes, etc will be much appreciated. Probably important to let people know if there is actually any chance of getting it at NAB or in June etc. to avoid dissapointed folk who have heard rumors.

With over 1300 on order nice to have some kind of idea from someone with knowledge.

I have knowledge, and the answer is simply that it can't be determined as of yet. Too many variables. Too many unknowns.

Remember those wine people from the 80's? Ernest and Julio Gallo. "we will ship no RED, before it's time".

Sorry, if that's not what you wanted to hear, so you might need somebody with even more knowledge than myself. :)

EDIT: I think we can assume that we will know here just about as quickly as it becomes public knowledge...maybe even a couple of seconds before. :)
 
I'm jiving that the Red guys will ship the first camera come NAB time

That's just a guess though


:)
 
The goal is to ship the very 1st cameras around NAB. We will then ramp up production as quickly as possible to fill the reservations. We are at the most difficult stage of development. Many new surprises are popping up. But we are dedicating as many resources as possible to avoid a schedule slip. It doesn't mean we won't have one, but we are taking the timetable very seriously. It is impossible at this point to say when all reservation holders will get their cameras. It depends a lot on how smoothly we can ramp up. And we won't really know that until we get there.

I'll say again that this is a VERY difficult trick we are attempting. We hope that our customers will be patient knowing we are doing absolutely everything we can to deliver. Remember, I am a customer too. And I NEED one.

My bet is that there are still some surprises left in the bag that will bring joy to the hearts of the RED ONE reservation holders. Since the reservations are now closed, I will say that the believers will get a better package than those that place orders at NAB and beyond.

I don't mind waiting till end of 2007. When reservations reopen at NAB I'll reserve the zoom lens at that time and it's not slated to ship until end of this year. I prefer to get the camera and lens at the same time. Gives me more time to raise money and finance less. By the end of the year I'll be able to afford more accessories too.

In the mean time, I'm happy with my JVC hd100 and Vegas.
Just my .02

better right than quick.

p.s. If this round had stayed open just one more day I could have reserved the zoom. Ce la vie mes amie.

As a believers, I really appreciate your words, Jim.
Thanks another time for all your effort in this incredible project.

I can't wait to know all the details, but I'm sure I will remain a "believer".

It's so awesome that it really IS one of those times when "awesome" (a very overused term) fits perfectly.
 
Really sweet.
I want to do something (more than some desktop backgrounds).
I want to celebrate.

What can I do?

Only waiting?

This is the cool fact that sometimes gets overlooked - Jim is a veteran photographer, cinematographer, and videographer. He's been shooting for decades now. He stated last year in my interview with him that in previous years he was looking around for a flexible and scalable digital cinema camera and just couldn't find what he wanted and needed - so he decided to build what he wanted and needed. I think all of us are unbelievably lucky that he did decide to build it - and share it with us. Yeah, RED is a business, and yeah, it will probably be a profitable business, but Jim was already highly successful in business, and he didn't have to build RED One, and he didn't have to offer it to the public. I can't believe how stoked I am that he did...
 
I think the kit will come with some form of bobble head, whether that be a bobble head of George W Bush or a bobble head of Babe Ruth, only time will tell...


Only time will tell....


I'm so happy to be apart of this club of risktakers and believers..

Funny, I ordered two stickers and got two free RED One R's.

Seriously, this is all so fun! Thanks for tossing a steak to the starving masses, Jim!

(Were Ernest and Julio all the way in the eighties?)
