  • 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 :)

I don't come to REDuser everyday like I do other places. Mainly because the only camera I'm really interested in at the moment is the Epic-S, formerly Scarlet S35. So I just come here to check for news on that and I hardly ever see mention of it on here anymore. I know the big thing is Epic-M and X, and people are raving about the Scarlet Fixed, I almost feel embarrassed bringing this up in the Epic forum, like Epic-S is the RED-headed stepchild that no one wants to talk about, no pun intended...ok, maybe I did! :biggrin:

But anyway. I know there are delays and setbacks and they are perfectly understandable. I guess what I'm asking is will there be a place on here for Epic-S news and info? Or will everything be lumped into the general Epic forum? I just feel that any Epic-S info immediately gets crushed by its bigger brother in a matter of seconds. I guess I feel left out. :undecided:

I guess I'm one of those people that like updates even if the update is that there's nothing new to update...:skep:

That's all! Go RED!
 
I guess I've made my point. Thread is all the way at the bottom with hardly a dent. It just seems that no one cares about the Epic-S which worries me that it might not happen, in which case I'm SOL. I don't want a Scarlet and I can't afford the Epic-X or RED One MX at the moment.

Actually, it's because there is nothing to report at the moment. Plenty of people care about that particular model. But a lot of people understand that with RED's new policies, information will become available when it's ready. So until then...

Edit: I had a wall of text here, but Steve Sherrick beat me to it and said it just as well.

I, for one, can't wait to get my hands on Epic-S. I am in the same boat - can't afford an Epic-X...

Yep. And I understand where they are coming from, gotta stop giving competitors ideas. There's just a so much hype and talk about Epic-M,X and the fixed Scarlet, it kinda places the Epic-S in an awkward position at the moment.
 
Me too

Me too

I think that the Epic-S will be the perfect transition camera for me. I've done work with the RED, I own a 7D, and I don't want to shoot a smaller sensor unless I have too. RED footagate is by far the best footage I've seen, shot, edited. I absolutely love it. Epic-S is my goal to cross-over for good... I think a lot of people are in the same boat.

There should definitely be an Epic-S forum.

+1 for EPIC-S info!
 
yeah, I'd love to get an Epic-S been wanting it for years. It'll be the cheapest camera with a full sensor and functionality.

what is the estimate for the brain again? $12,000?

any info would be awesome.
 
My plan is to get a Scarlet Fixed and work with it for a while until I can afford to upgrade my brain to Epic-S. Pun intended. :-)

I'm doing that now with an AF-100. Why wait? The way I see it, it'll probably be another year at the earliest that we'll see the Epic-S come to light, heck it'll be another 6 months or so till you can get a Scarlet. Get an AF-100, start getting your lenses and accessories in order and then you'll be ready when the Epic-S comes out. By then you should have more then enough to get one! That's my plan and so far it's working out well! The AF-100 is a great interim solution.
 
I'm down for Epic-S info, but like Steve said there's nothing really to report. I mean at least its in the same category as Epic M/X. There has been no news for awhile about the Scarlet Cinema. There was a little panic that Red was going to not release it but I'm pretty sure that was debunked, but either way there has been no news on that.

Of course I can't even afford a 5D right now so for me all of this is it'll happen when it happens. Right now I'm just working on getting accessories to make my little T2i a cinematic machine before I switch to a much smarter "brain."
