I also recognize that our customers deserve the straight scoop. Always.

Jim, never too late for the good things. I prefer waiting for a CHANGE.

Warmest regards,

Jim,

Thank you for keeping us updated, please continue.

To you and the rest of the team, hang in there, this will probably be the toughest part since you won't get the reward of progressing quickly like you have done so far. Of course I was hoping you would manage to jump through all the loop holes of bringing a product to market, but I know the final details take the longest time to dial in. We're all sitting here behind our screens cheering you on. I'm sure some, here or elsewhere, will start throwing out disrespectful comments, ignore them. Concentrate on what you are about to achieve, that will shut them up once and for all.

Cheers,
Damien
 
Jim,

Thank you for letting us know what's going on, and for making certain we're left taken care of.

Also please note, the longer your hold, the more I'll (be able to) purchase. *laughs*

Best,

Jesse Wendel/Seattle

Thanks. The insight you give us is appreciated. The delay is fine, of course, but the best possible result I could dream of, is for production to ramp up after the first hundred or so serial numbers. I would love to get my hands on #1408 before November.
 
I guess the news is rather unfortunate, but I suppose it hits me harder than others being one of the earliest supporters.

I wish you the best of luck in your home stretch... you don't need anyone to tell you there is a world of people waiting. :-)
 
I'm sure other camera manufacturers have delays too but they are so secretive we never hear about them. So if Red is running into delays, I think it's normal... we just know about it, so for me, I'm not upset in the least.

Carry on...
 
Delays are bummers, but I love that you're so willing to keep us informed. A company run the way a company should be...

Can't wait to see it when it's all ready to be seen.
 
cams fully enabled?

cams fully enabled?

hej!

i love delay! no joke.
does the "waiting time" give you
the opportunity to catch up with enabling
all the features from day one on?

i don't care - just curious :)

Sorry to hear! You guys have done a great job so far. Hope everything works out well, as fast as possible... so you can start selling some cameras and get some money back. Development most be expensive?

The big camera manufacturers have huge advantages over RED, they have much larger production runs, make much of the components inhouse and many components are used accross multiple products. I suspect the tape transport used in the Z1 is the same as the one used in the PD170 for example. On top of that their production runs and hence purchasing volume is so large their suppliers give them very high priority.
Also they have future roadmaps that run far into the future, probably much of what we see coming from Sony today has been in the works for 5 years. This makes engineering and manufacturing so much easier than what RED is attempting to do.
 
That means more time to improve accessories and get some feedback.
Please give us some more info about the new bit´s n pieces you´ve been referring to, Jim.
 
I'll add to the chorus of support, Jim. Delays are never fun for anybody, but we're all in this together. We're behind you all the way!
 
Rock on Mr. Jannard....rock the f on...thanks for the info and do what you gotta do.
 
Your priorities are in order. To put out a substandard camera up front would be discouraging to the very people who believed in you first. It would also give ammunition to the non believers.

We have all become believers in something quite special. Your willingness to be up front about all things Red is appreciated.

Thankks

Like films,

Nobody remembers a late delivery,
Only a bad one.

You're a perfectionist and the product will/must reflect this.

Full support, "get 'er done".

J.
 
Jim and team, thank you for your straightforward information policy. Take all the time that you need.
