Hmm...how soon after?
 
Guys, let's at least try to keep a RED thread free of moaning, bashing or other negativity.

Personally, I just want to see if it's possible.

My question is, can you folks give me a brutally pessimistic estimate on how long it might take someone like me, currently no deposit down, not in line, to hope to acquire a Scarlet or Epic S? I realize you can't crystal-ball it but maybe a rough guess? When RED goes into full production do these cameras roll off the assembly line at blinding speed?

Lets hope Red is past the development problems as these cameras go to production and it is now just a matter of logistics.

They are ramping up for significant volume production, but that is not an easy task to accomplish.
 
The "new" information update is as non-specific as it gets. Besides stating what films new Epic is used on it really doesn't give any new and real information. As paying customer I would like to make an informed decision on my future gear purchases. For that I need to know when that gear will be sold, how much it will cost, what extras I need to buy and what are the specification of the gear. As far as Scarlet there is nothing new- the web page for the past several months states "coming soon". I can log in to Sony, Canon or Panasonic and check the specifications of the existing and in development equipment. I already know what new Sony will cost if I decide to purchase it.
As far as gear- you can't logically discuss something doesn't exist. Sorry, but a few working units don't really mean squat as far as I am concerned. Panasonic AF100 is real, sold as we speak, new Sony is real and will be delivered shortly. If Scarlet is going to be delivered- go ahead and inform us for real, with approximate date. But by saying "by the end of summer" is just another deliberate policy of RED to feed the internet trolls.
I am not "bashing"RED, just I am being annoyed with the marketing strategy.
 
Marketing strategy aside, RED does have some compelling products in use now, and more (hopefully) coming soon. I'll be stopping by their booth at NAB, that's for sure.
 
That's it.
Out of 16 posts in this thread so far, 7 have had to be deleted.

We have gotten to a point that RED seems to be nearly impossible to discuss.
Those who are intent on disparaging RED have become just as loud and noisy as those who unwaveringly support them.
As with most other topics on this site I would urge anyone who is not interested in a thread to do something very simple.... don't post in it.
That's it.

Let me repeat that just so it's clear:

If you are not interested in a thread topic then ignore it and allow those who want to discuss to continue to do so in peace.

Constant bickering, arguing, trolling and thread-crapping will not be tolerated - regardless of the topic, company, camera, software, gear or film being discussed.
It has been made clear that there are many on this site who believe RED is the next cinematic messiah, as well as it's been made clear that there are those who believe they are vaporware. If you hold either of those beliefs and have nothing further to add to the discussion, then perhaps you should think about whether or not DVXuser is really the best place for you.
