Maybe it's a bit late, but I'll give it a try...

Just my 2 cents.

There are some significant updates and changes that I would like to share…

1. EPIC-Ms are being built at a rapid pace. There is no waiting if you want to buy an EPIC-M starting tomorrow. Supply is limited. Just remember that these are still pre-production cameras and firmware upgrades will be necessary to enable some remaining features. EPIC-Ms have a 2 year warranty.

The EPIC-M program has helped us tune up for beginning EPIC-X production late August and full swing production early September.

2. EPIC-X will ship in the following order… Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 3.5, Stage 4. We will not begin to ship the next stage until the orders from the previous stage have been completed. If you don't want to wait, buy an EPIC-M.

3. Given the tragedy in Japan, EPIC-X production was delayed. The other side effect is that prices of many things have gone up. Given this, we are announcing a price increase on some items that will take effect on January 1st, 2012. If you have your order and deposit in before Dec. 31, 2011 you will get the old price. Any new orders placed after Jan. 1, 2012 will be charged the new price. Price increases in bold.



4. Stage 2 was changed recently. The newest package includes an EPIC-X Brain, Titanium PL Mount, Side SSD Module, 5" Touchscreen LCD, REDmote, Module Adaptor, Pro Battery Module, 2 REDvolt Batteries and Travel Charger. $28,000 less $8500 credit and keep your RED ONE. Net price $19,500.

5. Stage 3 will reflect similar changes to the package as Stage 2. Stage 3 package price is $28,000 less $17,500 and trade in your non-executed RED ONE. Net due is $10,500.

6. Stage 3.5 is the same as Stage 3 except you receive an EPIC-X Brain only and not the complete Stage 3 package. Net due is $10,500.

7. Stage 4 is a purchase only of an EPIC-X Brain for $29,500 (includes upgraded Titanium PL Mount).

Additional note: We have discontinued the aluminum PL mount option for EPIC.

Sorry for format... tabs don't seem to work posting.

Please note: EPIC-X Brain price was $27,500 + $500 for aluminum mount = $28,000. Since the aluminum mount is no longer an option, the current EPIC-X Brain is really $27,500 + $2000 for Ti PL Mount = $29,500. Same goes for 2012 price of EPIC-X Brain. $34,500 + $2000 = $36,500 including Ti PL Mount. Sorry about the oversight.

Can one buy just an Epic-M Brain (today), LCD and drives without buying the $58k package. Don't have the time to scan every entry to see if this has been answered.

Yeah, we are working on those logistics. Coming soon...

That is awesome news! How soon is "Coming soon..."

[Max M.]

will all the products like, pro i/o, touchscreen lcd etc possible to order at 2011 prices as a stage 4 1st time red buyer before the end of this year, or only the brain for sure?

[Antony M]

May be whoever wants a camera without a mount or only with a Canon/Nikon mount should be asked to wait till the mount is ready. Others in line can take the camera with PL mount now. :D Lets see how many are willing to wait for the camera with canon and nikon mount. :-)

Not a bad idea.

I would be willing to wait, as I have sold my PL lens and bought up Canon lenses.

I updated my unofficial RED EPIC price spreadsheet. Check it over and make any corrections if needed. Putting a one (1) in cell B2 gives you the 2012 prices. Leaving it blank or putting in a zero (0) will give you the 2011 prices.

Here's the link:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spre...CKGyotsM#gid=0

Using this spreadsheet I did a comparison of the EPIC-M package price with similar accessories but with the EPIC-X brain.

PRICE DIFFERENCE
$46,000.00 - $12,000.00 -- EPIC-X Package equivalent to EPIC-M before 1/1/2012
$54,350.00 - $3,650.00 --- EPIC-X Package equivalent to EPIC-M after 12/31/2011
$58,000.00 --------------- EPIC-M Package Price

maybe a bit off topic, but an official answer from red would be great: Are the dimensions for the Epic-M and Epic-X exact the same? Can we already start ordering accessories likes brooke's top plate, and will it fit the X?

I think you missed a 0 in your price for the Epic M Brain.

But otherwise thanks for the leg work on pricing list!
