New delivery schedule...

[Joe Carney]

Is there any way to post how geeked up I am to have reservation #19 without coming off like a total asshole.

Blair, at times like this, you're allowed, hehehe.

Since Peter Jackson was using one way back in April...

Was that a "genuine" Red Drive or was it a more generic eSATA raid setup? Either way, as I recall they lost a day of shooting from the helicopter due to vibration making the drive unable to write correctly. Maybe that caused a re-think about the drive design generally.

As camera #22 - we are picking up friday,.. and filming Sat in LA ;-)

But then it is returning home to OZ

We have events planned with ACS here so everyone locally can get their hands on one - especially other reservation holders

Flight booked. :w00t:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we only have to pay the remainder on the items that are shipping right? I will pay for the remainder of the prime set and other accessories later, correct?

Also, would you mind posting an exact list of what is shipping (for budgeting reasons)? Jim you didn't mention a viewing option shipping but perhaps thats what you meant when you said "everything needed to turn it on and shoot". So is that both the viewfinder and LCD or just one of em.

Thanks so much.

Too optimistic... since we have changed how we are recording REDCODE RAW (variable file size) it is not so easy to certify a CF card. A 266x Transcend will work under some conditions, then readily drop frames on a complex scene. Not all 300x work. I think at today's prices, $199 seems about right for a certified RED 8GB CF card. Prices should drop over time. But there is currently a CF card shortage. The SanDisk Ducati looks like it will work, but prices on that card is over $300 for 8GB. Remember that not all CF cards really perform as spec'd. We are discovering the secrets of the flash industry.

We will have a list ready for Friday.

Jim

perhaps we'll see more than just a list of compatible cf cards this friday.
