    Nobody knows if the RED server will survive the November 3rd onslaught? If it does not would it not be good to follow this list of orders. Only mark your name down if you categorically are willing to place an order but you are defeated by technology and it is just not possible.

    Lets keep a count of this?

    I will go first. Package 2A

    Either Package 2/3rds 1. Scarlet Package
    S35 1A. Scarlet Package


    Or Package 2 2'3rds. Scarlet
    Redmote
    Bomb EVF
    Touchscreen
    Redbrick
    SSD Pack
    Package 2A S35 As above

    Package 3 2/3rd. Brain only
    3A S35. Brain only

    With you saying you will order pick either package 1 or package 2 or package 3

    I will go for package 2A. This is based purely on a camera with no fixed lens which is how I believe it will be offered.

    Jim if it all goes '_its up' through pressure on the system is this pre order cool?

    I don't think this will work.. and I am sure they upgraded to make it a less painful time as the last announcement of RCX Pro.

    Agreed. Don't let the paranoia get to you. They updated the servers and know what their doing. We also have absolutely no idea of what packages will be available to order. There could be 0, there could be 15.

    Back orders will be inevitable if Scarlet does indeed tap into the prosumer market. But it won't be the end of the world. I could get interesting if there are 5,000+ units sold on day one though. Red's got a plan. Let them execute it.

    Whilst I understand your fear, we have no idea what the camera will be, what packages will be offered, and at what price. Jarred has it in hand but if it goes tits up, people will just have to deal with it. I don't see this working at all unless it is sanctioned by RED.

    EDIT: Phil beat me to it.

    Servers may or may not survive.

    But they did do a stress test.

    But I think we are in a completely new sphere here. It really could all crash and someone who has never been on this site could purchase a camera over someone who has followed the RED mantra for years - that is not fair?

    Hey even if it all goes smoothly with no hick ups there is no harm done by sticking your name down here? It possibly is like a bit of 'insurance of commitment' if ever questioned.

    We just have to trust I think Iain. Do empathise with the feeling though.

    Best
