HUGE news! Just wait until everyone on reduser finds out...I have a feeling most haven't come across this thread yet. Much appreciation for the ungodly hours you guys put in so we can have our little conveniences. ;)

Major wins.
 
Wow, thanks Jarred and Red Team.
I will check out the autofocus today and give you feedback.
The update list is great. Some major things in it.
Playback in November will be awesome. This is the biggest most important thing. But I think you know that and want to have it too. :yesnod:

Ah and by the way, my Epic is the single best cam I've ever worked with and I know the others with A.. and such. Damn are you guys good. Scary good.

Thanks a lot.
