16GB total silence...

[Kevin Wild]

Sorry, don't mean to be insulting with the term. But when people get overly excited when Jim posts "something new is coming" and that is all...I would say "fan boy" is a good term. :-)

What was the latest? "Epic...is changing."

Wow, brilliant. Everyone goes nuts and they know absolutely nothing. I kinda' cracks me up, to be honest. But what doesn't make me laugh is when dates are missed and I have to pay due to the delays. I have rented enough RED Raids and lenses due to the delays, that I could have ordered fully new ones. So...you can imagine I'm frustrated.

That's fine if you like the teases. I just would rather things get announced when the information of delivery is more accurate and known. That's it.

Also, Summer 2008 ends officially on 9/22 when Fall begins :)

This is going to be an exciting week! The RED Flash drive, the 18-85, the 300 RED PRO and the 7" LCD are coming!

Okay, you have me on that one, I'll buy you a beer if this is going to happen

Sorry to labour the point but do the 16gb cards work with the current system (or did I understand a previous post correctly that they are planning to upgrade your cf reader if you buy a 16gb card?)

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

I don't wanna stick my nose on this discussion but...

Isn't the 16GB CF status on the website PLACE DEPOSIT only?

I thought PLACE DEPOSIT was only for products not yet available.

Lol, I think Red goes to work every day and says,
"hey we are behind,
this didn't work out like planned....
but at least we are not like Birger..."

The Birger thread isn't a thread any longer, it is becoming a novel.

I think with the 16GB cards somebody jumped the gun.
or
Red is just steeped in the Beta testing spirit of things. We are know what Beta testing is like.

B-before
E-entering
T-the
A-ass

As Beta testers we all have to deal with some shit. So put on those rubber gloves and keep smiling, lol.

[R. Schorman]

you have it already. Don't worry

[Chip G]

This seems to be a typical RED thing:

- product announced, will be shipping next month!
- we have a little problem but no worries, we ship with a slight delay!
- months go by, not a word anymore...

Been waiting on the 64gig P2 cards from panny for a year, now they are $2600.

You guys have it pretty good.

WORD!
