Scarlet Weapon?

Of course is a branding strategy.

I tend to agree that positioning and branding has played a significant part in their choices as it always has.

For his part, Jarred is making an effort to clarify things: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showth...he-Raven-and-the-improvements-that-they-bring

That could be the answer to the scarlet issue, but why are epic-w`s or Weapon`s more expensive?

Likely again, because of the boards or other internals required to process a shit load of data...and do it much faster than the lower end cameras.

IIRC, Jarred mentioned during the release of the Weapon that the Weapon is the new 'top of the line' RED camera, different to Epic, hence the different name. Not sure if that means we will one day see an Epic-w? Doesn't look that way though, since we now have cameras at 4.5k, 5k, 6k, and 8k soon. My guess is that the Epic name will be dropped once the DSMC1 form factor has been discontinued.

I'm still hoping that there is another upgrade path for current Epic Dragon owners, because my career has taken a turn and I can't justify the upgrade price for a better body, though I would very much like to stay on the upgrade path.
