Change...

Just give us (the bellow 20K crowd) a chance to get into the S35 Red World, Jim. We won't disappoint you.

[Eston Diaz]

If that's the case. What little competition there was, is now non existent.

[Ryan Nichols]

Even you. You have a camera that can shoot images as good a "The Social Network". Let me think...

Jim

Indeed. I've gotten some amazing stuff already. The MX sensor is a beast.

I'm also happy you're still supporting with compatibility to all the new accessories. I hope that can continue a while longer.

Although we won't hear about new products in development anymore, I have to say that the glimpse into how RED does business over the last 4 years and knowing that if they could, they would, has allowed me to patiently wait for the best. Unfort. the business does force a "standard of operating procedures" and as RED has grown (or exploded rather) into the industry, it was expected.

I am eagerly awaiting Miss Scarlet and the opportunity to join the ranks of Independent filmmakers with technology that we would never have access to if it wasn't for RED. Thank you.

I just have a hunch ... I'm going to throw it out and if I'm wrong that's fine. I probably am.

But look at it this way: Jim has not announced EPIC-S as part of the roadmap. He knows his customers desperately need EPIC-S. He would not disappoint them.

EPIC-S is a compromise. What does Jim think of compromises? Well, I think Superman's feelings about Kryptonite are pretty mild compared to Jim's feelings about compromise.

Right now, EPIC-X is sold in a package to RED ONE owners at a price that's very close to the proposed EPIC-S pricing.

I think Jim has sharpened his pencils and figured out how to profitably sell EPIC-X at very close to the price of EPIC-S, therefore eliminating EPIC-S from the roadmap.

Maybe this is the reason, or maybe there is a new EPIC-T coming out that's a nice improvement over S but with the same price. We won't know until he introduces it ... but we will know it will be worth the wait.

If I'm right, you heard it here first. If I'm wrong, well, I'm wrong :).

Interesting speculation but how does the non release of information around Scarlet fit into this optimistic theory? Remember, Epic-S used to be part of the Scarlet lineup.

[Kalani Prince]

Wouldn't that put Scarlet fixed in a majorly compromised place?

[Eston Diaz]

Either way, however it plays out. We don't lose. I like those odds!

[Jannard]

Don't guess. Everything will be fine.

I highly doubt that. It's already been announced that prices are going up on Jan 1.

Do the 10 new RECON threads in the last 3 days calm the fears that the RED team wouldn't be on REDuser so much as in the past? hehe
