There was a time a year ago when I thought I might have a Scarlet by now. I set aside the money and started making plans. Making movies is a hobby for me, not a business, but how many of you feel more passionately about your hobbies/recreation than your work?

On Saturday night we shot a movie with our old JVC GR-HD1 DVC camera. It was one of those target of opportunity special life events, the memory of which would have been enhanced by Scarlet. There will be other opportunities like this, but that one is now on the hard disk as best as we could with this 2002 technology camera. I've never owned a camera for so long, and Ray Kurzweil tells me technological change is accelerating.

There will be another regret for us in Las Vegas 18-21 April. And probably more after that, but each just increases the intensity of our anticipation of Scarlet. We are cheering for Red and hope we can get in an official line for the S35 Scarlet soon.

One thing about the Red company we have all learned is that you need to be patient. Whatever the announced dates are, double them. Don't count on using the cameras for something specific coming up on a given date. It will only lead to heartbreak. :)

Kurzweil might be very interested in the new Sanyo 1080/60p cameras coming out next month that only cost 500 bucks.

indeed, I put down my deposit for my RED ONE in April 2007 and got it in June 2008, but if you ask me it was well worth the wait. I don't think RED will disappoint anyone :)
