Significant Update...

What about the price and availability of the Canon electronic mount? A few of us are wanting to go with the Canon glass for several reasons. I'd sure hate to have a camera that I couldn't put our lenses on.

Thanks.

+1, except for the Nikon mount.
 
If warranty for EPIC-M is 2 years, what about the X, S and Scarlet? any difference?
 
it's also ultra generous, that the M Package will stay at the same price....
I know it's a look into the crystal ball, but still, do you expect the EPIC-M package sales to stay active for long during 2012 and maybe longer?

still can't believe that you guys announce the price increase 5 months ahead of time! :) that's RED to you, sir!

oh, and will there be an EPIC-X package?
 
Thanks so much for the update. This is such an amazing deal - giving everyone 5 months to buy at the current prices. Astounding.

Quick question: I know stage 4 is for "brain only". I thought I read a while ago (I know, I know. Subject to change...) that all Epics came with the SSD module. Is that the case? Cool, if not. I just want to go ahead and order the module if it will not be included in Stage 4.

Thanks!
 
My birthday is 12 of September. Hope I have a great birthday present...ehehehehehehehe
 
Just sent an inquiry for an Epic-M.

I thought there would be a text input in the process to explain a little more who we are, what we do and why we ask for an Epic-M, kind of like a motivation letter :)

Hope I'll get the chance to be chosen !
 
I can't seem to find a list of what is in the Epic-M package. A link would be helpful. Thanks.
 
For those of us who currently have a RED One, and will be doing a Stage III trade in, which of our accessories will actually work with the Epic? Will our LCDs and EVFs still work? How about our batteries and hard drives? Anything else?

I know that going "all new" is the best approach, but some of us are in a bit of a financial pickle just now and will really need to stretch to make this work.

Thanks.

Wow. Progress is a beautiful thing to see. And telegraphing prices increases to come, several months ahead. THAT is different. Thanks!

Surprised, amid all the good news, no-one else has mentioned the most thumping percentage price increase - DSMC Side Handle not that far short of doubled in price: from $950 up by $800 to $1750. Can I be cheeky enough to ask what's happened there? Is there some huge new enhancement to it that we don't know about yet?

i assume this means price increases from the current projected price for Epic-S. Will we be able to do the same thing, order before 2012 and get the lower pricing? I know that all we have so far on this camera is a guess at the price. About $16,000 or so for the package.

I'm not RED and don't speak for them, but I think I'm correct in saying EVF will work (is working for some people with M right now, seems to depend on firmware), batteries work with adapter cable, hard drives were supposed to work, but they canned the module that was supposed to support them a few months ago, and are offering a trade-in deal on SSD instead: http://www.red.com/store/media/product/red-mag-256gb (as an aside I think Jim or Jarred mentioned a discount of $400 when you trade in a hard drive for SSD; that's actually a very bad deal at the moment as 640GB drives still sell for twice that on the open market. But check on that, my memory is flaky!).

(edit I WAS wrong, the deal is '50% of the purchase price' - which would equate to $450 for a 640. Generous to offer a deal at all of course, but still a very bad deal; 640GB drives especially are still worth more than 50% of the purchase price.)

LCDs - I don't know for sure if they're supported or not. But you want a touch-screen LCD for EPIC anyway :-)

The batteries are supposed to work.

The drives will only work at lower frame rates, not at 5k 300fps!!!



I would also like to know what the price change will be for the RedMote Pro ??
