This is a great way for the rental houses to get their hands on some Epics! Sim Video, PS, I'm looking in your general direction.

Don't forget about the owner/operators who also rent out their gear... :)

HAHA.. Hey Mark, Leave one for me ;)

If you are a RED ONE owner and are interested in this program, please contact Brent or Kelly at brent@red.com and/or kelly@red.com

As you might imagine, we are receiving quite a few emails. Instead of replying to each person individually, we will send out an email blast to confirm everyone who has expressed interest once the email influx slows down a little. We will send subsequent blasts as we have more information (ie, the questions in your emails are noted).

Also, please include your RED ONE serial number (only one if you have multiple) to make it easier for us to locate you in our system. Also, so I do not have one list of customers and Kelly another, please email just her to so everyone's requests are going to one person.

Thanks,
BC

Do I automatically make the list for guessing the new Epic option?

How about a "take delivery now" option for those that don't mind if the firmware isn't 100% bug-free? If record start/stop works I'll take it!

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Well guys, here's one less you have to worry about. I think I'm going to bow out of the running for an EPIC-M. My plate is full in January and the first half of february. I have two relatively low number Stage-2 reservations and have faith that they will be delivered in March or April, based on info presented by Jim last night.

As much as I would love an EPIC-M, it would only be for the self-serving glory of owning one. My first EPIC has been tentatively scheduled for months for my own personal projects and that's where the M would go if I bought it. So there would be no ROI for being the first kid on the block in my case. I'm not even sure how practical that would even be in my market. Sure, I could reap a few benefits, but not ~$35K worth in 60 days or so. Not when I have too many things that *I* want to do with the camera.

Good luck to all those who apply.

Curran,

I think you (and me) only got it about 30% right. This is a whole new "Stage". But yes, kudos for being on the right track. (And congratulations for getting your wish it would be apart from stage 2 and stage 3.)

[Phil Bates]

One question I'm surprised hasn't been asked. For 3D stereoscopic work will the Epic M match a production Epic in every way that matters: Position of the sensor, electronic differences that might slightly affect color, gamma etc.
