    We are making steady progress getting the camera ready for production. As we stated previously, some features will not be enabled with the 1st cameras shipping. All updates will be done as features are enabled through a download and USB or Compact Flash to the camera. It is really easy. Slip in the card, turn the camera on, and say "yes" when it asks you if you want to upgrade to the new software.

    We are very, very happy with image quality at this point and still think we can improve some as time goes on.

    This has been (and still is) a huge undertaking. It is a project worthy of our best effort. We appreciate everyone's patience. We do not expect another schedule slip at this time (things can change).

    Thanks for the update, Jim. It really makes a difference that you're able to convey the progress and keep taking suggestions until the last moment. It's great to hear that things are looking good in the final stretch.

    I must say that even with all of the drama over the last year and a half, RED has lived up to the hype every time and I have no doubts they will continue to do so after the camera ships. Just having regular software updates from the company to keep our investments current and relevant is a huge deal. Seems to me we have a company who finally "gets it."

    Great Jim ! I know I've been bugging you about moving images of late but in the end I would prefer to do my own. Red being on schedule is the best possible news for me. Keep up the incredible effort !

    Steven Soderbergh starts shooting in Spain in 8 hours. He is flying without a net (no backup plan). Just RED ONE's. He will be recording 4k REDCODE RAW to Compact Flash. Wish him (and all of us) luck.

    That is great news, he is the perfect lab rat for all of us. How many cameras ? Why would he need a net ?

    For a moment my slightly-multilingual brain spun into an overdrive of confusion.

    No Net... no Red (red means net in spanish)... ? Why is he going without a RED?!

    This is why I will never be able to speak two languages fluently. I don't have room for more than one--anything else just starts creating chaos.

    Good News.

    How many beta cameras does Steven S. have to work with?

    I think it's two.... is that right?
