  • 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 :)

New Epic X Price Prediction

So, has everyone anted up?

17.5k for me, still holding firm.

33 minutes till we know.
 
< 10K for a brain+ssd+canon lens mount
OR
< 10K discount to current brain price
 
Maybe Sony got scared?

Is that time set? Seems all quiet on the Sony front, I was assuming we would hear after that announce. Here's to 15 minutes to go.

If it's 17,500, oh I hope theres a Scarlet upgrade path. I'll be all in

pasted from Jim's Thread:

As I said before, everything in the electronics world changes... usually for the better, cheaper and faster. EPIC and Scarlet just did. Right now.

We have built an incredibly efficient factory in Irvine, California and over time learned how to make EPICs in quantity, lowered our assembly costs, found better suppliers and fully paid off our NRE. When we assembled the 1st EPIC camera in Stage 6 at RED Studios Hollywood it took our team 12 hours. It took two more days to de-bug. Today we can assemble an EPIC in 13 minutes and 95+% need no re-work after diagnostics and testing. It is a testament to our manufacturing team and supply chain teams.

Since our costs are now significantly lower we are re-pricing our cameras as of now.

For those of you that purchased a new Scarlet or EPIC brain on or after Oct. 1st 2012, the next time you order accessories from RED you will receive a discount to use towards that purchase. $1000 for Scarlet and $4000 for EPIC. Talk to your Bomb Squad representative when you are ready to use this discount.

Now… here is the new pricing:

5K EPIC-X Brain- $19,000

5K EPIC-X Monochrome Brain- $20,000

5K EPIC-M Brain- $24,000

5K/4K Scarlet Brain- $7,950

4.5K RED ONE M-X Battle Tested- $4000 (includes CF or SSD recording module). The RED ONE is End of Life. Battle tested is all that will be available from here on out.

Due to high anticipated volumes, plan on extended response and processing times.

Dragon sensor upgrade is not included for any EPIC system purchased at the new pricing going forward.

Pricing is being updated on www.red.com as I post this.

.... And.... As i have been through one of these analogue to digital yransitions before, I have thought - even before the R1 was actually here, that it will transform into a knowledge driven price-thing. Not equipmentbased.


Still equipment is expensive for many, but work on your skill calculus most...


Just sayin'

Hm....


And I think my linear light for dummies article all of a sudden got a whole new and larger audience...


Hahahahaha
