    No matter what the product, we always hear a lot about the problems, while completely satisfied customers are busy being.... Well... Satisfied and post nothing. This is a thread for those who have had no problems with compression artifacts, wierd shit downs or any other problems with their lovely new Epics. Please chime in. I think there are a lot of us.

    Two Epics (M and X) have been busy making $$$ with nary a lost frame. Noise? Eh, when I really push the low light situations, sure, there's visible noise, but the Ninja takes care of it very nicely. No complaints here. Just wish Dragon, RedRay and Red Laser would come out soon. So glad I'm not shooting film any longer.

    Not one problem, not one complaint. Just wish I had more work.

    Seems a little silly just to have people chime in saying "no problem." I mean, we have been running our Epic regularly, but I wouldn't say we've been totally problem-free. We've had...

    -Audio clicks (that we may need to send the Epic back)
    -No phantom power so you can't plug a mic directly in
    -Batteries that don't click in well into the side handle
    -Occasional LCD screen-locks for no apparent reason
    -Sensor reflection deal/flare gate (we haven't ordered our repair part)

    So, none of these are deal-breakers or anything. We LOVE the Epic. But it definitely has a few bugs that I'm sure RED is still working out.

    Can't complain . . . nicks and cuts, merely flesh wounds
