Retailers first in line

[Chris Kennedy]

I just recently placed my order for a Scarlet-W through AbelCine, per my Bomb Squad rep's recommendation. I won't be getting my camera any quicker than someone who ordered their's a few months ago, but I will be skipping ahead of anyone who ordered through RED a week or so before me. That's assuming that there are still people placing orders directly through the RED website, which the reps are personally advising against. I'm pretty sure that the allocation queue is still preserved, and that the only people this will affect are those who haven't yet put down a deposit.

Oh, and the price through AbelCine was not a cent higher than ordering directly through RED.

The main reason why I ordered through AbelCine was since Red has a store in my state I'd have to pay sales tax on the camera... And for the Magnesium that's a hefty chunk of money which alternatively would be a few accessories/modules. Very happy with AbelCine in the past... and actually saved money in this instance!
