Just was thinking, with all these release date corrections, what if they raise the price? Naturally the ones with deposits doun would still have the old price honored, but what if the time overruns equate to cost overruns as well? Will the RED camera be the first to go UP in price as the technology matures, instead of DOUN in price as most new things do? Of course it's possible the RED TEAM is made up of open source guys from Mozilla, but I doubt it. I'm thinking they are VERY well paid for their contributions. With that in mind, I put doun a deposit on a second RED camera recently. Just in case THEY ARE GOING FAST!:greedy:
 
Anything is possible... But I seriously doubt it.. And if it did go up in price, then I imagine it would be about $2,000.00 or so.. A hit to be sure, but not a deal breaker.

Of course I don't have to worry cause, as you said, I already have one reserved.. I am happy.

I can live with almost any schedule that Jim throws out provide he does one of two things (Reading this Jim?)

1: Ships BEFORE Jan 31 07
2: Allows me to PAY FOR IT before Jan 31 07

Hi #6 I am a terrible speller so I am not making fun in any way but you tend to use the word down a lot in your posts and I thought I would let you know it is spelled down not doun. You also spelled this word wrong on your website along with a few others that you may wish to change. Please don't take offense to this, I just thought you would like to know.

That's funny; I was thinking the same thing...lol
 
If he's a Scot there is a bunch more things we can make fun of over an accent.
 
haha. I'm sort of a grammar and spelling Nazi (I'm an author), but I really try to ignore mistakes online because I'd go insane otherwise. I have friends who cannot spell worth a dang and it drives me insane but I just don't say anything usually. If they're a close friend I may say something, if I think it will actually help them, rather than just help me not be annoyed. ;)

The definitive answer...and it proves that yes, we ARE smarter than a 5th grader:turned:

so what? therefore he can afford to run a money-losing business? i don't care what your net worth is, no one starts a business with that kind of cavalier attitude...no one who is any good at what they do, anyway.

i hope he makes another billion from RED. and not because it's inexpensive, but rather, because it's BRILLIANT. and revolutionary.
 
He's also a long term thinker. This is a revolution. If he wants to take over an industry, he's not looking to turn a quick profit. He't not out to lose money, but if he can afford to (and he can) not recoup R&D costs immediately, in the long run the total market penetration (wow, that sounds so porno) will be more than rewarding (financially, personally, etc) than the short term losses. I don't think he's selling at a loss, but it's likely the predicted margins on the REDone are smallish. But, tis only the beginning.
