Team Red is Bringing it Everyday!

These guys work Loooooong days, weekends, holidays with the best attitude you will ever find.

It's my opinion they deserve our collective gratitude and support.

Yeah, what he said. Besides, everybody that has been watching this forum for any length of time knows that the RED Team always get quiet before they announce something cool. Don't know if they are intentionally whetting our appetites, or just plain too busy to take time to post. The result is the same either way. They get quiet, we get antsy, then Jim or Jarred announce something that blows our doors off. That's just the way it works.

Sure the delays are frustrating but that is not what I am talking about. What I'm talking about is the lack of communication. I suppose they are busy making my camera now and I suppose it is still coming in January but with about 2 weeks to go in January there's still no official word. The only thing I have heard so far is from Jim saying about two weeks ago that he 'expects' my camera to be ready in January, which - let's be totally honest - in RED's case could mean anything.

Sander,

We (ie, Jon) have recently posted to the RED ONE FAQ's ( http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7464 ) with the most recent information we have. I have also tried to get more details out to the readers of REDUSER (feel free to search my recent posts) about communication from RED.

I hope that you will see that with people like Jim, Jarred, Brian and myself still trolling through REDUSER afterhours, we are living and breathing RED 24/7. We are doing as much as we can as quickly as we can.

If it is quiet, it simply means we don't have anything new or more concrete to tell you. if it is critical information, you will get an email from us or see it on RED.com, rest assured.

Thanks, BC
 
Brent, I totally respect what you guys are doing there and I believe you if you say you are working 24 hours a day to get everything done. Thank you for that. And I have to admit I missed the post in the FAQ, although it doesn't add much to what was already known.

In the forum I am reading cameras 100-300 are being delivered just now, while they were planned for end of December. And I am still waiting for an email for RED which should come no less than 2 weeks before delivery, with January just a little more than 2 weeks to go. So I am beginning to get worried about January delivery. Any word on when there will be an updated or more final schedule?

Let's see, the sticky was most recently updated on January 11. Today is the morning of the 15th.

What part of "We're shooting for getting 400 cameras out before month's end" do you not understand? Instead of accusing them of playing a "game," let these people do their jobs.

See what happens at the end of January--two more weeks--and then see how close they are to hitting their target estimates.

Less chatter and more cameras out the door is exactly what we want.
 
My camera is in the next batch. So I should get an email with delivery and payment options 2 weeks before as stated by RED, that leaves just 2 days if they want to do that on the last day.

It was not my intention to accuse RED of playing games with their customers, maybe I should have expressed that differently.
 
Perhaps you (RED) could tell us how many cameras you will ship in january - then everyone could do their own estimates upon each serial number.
 
We send an email blast to a group of reservation holders to let them know to get ready to take delivery of their camera (ie, finalize accessories, give payment info, confirm contact info, show what is currently on order, etc). That is what went out to #101-#300 earlier. We start getting orders confirmed and payments in, we process orders, and ship as quickly as we can.

Soon, we will blast the next batch with their get ready email. By the end of this week, actually.

Here is Jon's FAQ thread with latest production plan comments from Jim:

What Jim posted still applies. And are moving forward accordingly.

Don't get too excited, Justin. . . I'm guessing we're going to be in the batch after this next one. I'm guessing that it will be cameras 301 to 600 in this next batch.

Brent, could you tell us what numbers have been sent an email and what numbers are going to receive an email this week? I did not receive anything but don't know whether it is because I'm not in that group or because I already made my payment.
 
Hi Brent

Are EVF's shipping with this next batch, as I just want to get the EVF and have a HD lcd of my own already. If the EVF's are not yet ready do you have an estimate of approximately when they may be released?
 
This week, #301-#500 will get an email. As production ramps up (as is stated in Jim's post), we bite off bigger chunks with each blast to stay on pace with production schedule.

We are beginning to fulfill backorders on EVFs as we speak. They are in VERY limited quantities in January but come February, we will have more solid numbers. Until we catch up with the people who already have their cameras, EVFs won't ship concurrently with orders going out in the next few batches. They will be fulfilled in order of reservation number as soon as we can get them out the door. It may be a little after your camera package is delivered, but it won't be too far behind.

Some more good news, RED DRIVES will begin to ship this week as well.

So, we are fulfilling orders in line with Jim's posts, we are starting to get EVFs out the door, and RED DRIVES are about to start shipping, too.

To the people that guessed silence meant good news was coming, I would say this post qualifies :)
