And now they say, it is ready...

Ha ha... well unless your on stage 2 I reckon you will still have to wait a year!

Yes, well, it's only ready for production, it's not really being produced. The production line ois being prepped.

Price? They seem to change rapidly as the years of waiting pass by. Really well written article Drew.

Believe 25K plus accessories so probably around $32,000 without glass.

$28k for sensor body + accessories.

An update: to meet the demand of filmmakers, Red is making a limited release Epic-M, which is a pre-production model with several features disabled until the production model is ready:

1- Machined and hand assembled EPIC-M Brain with titanium PL mount

1- Bomb EVF

1- 5" Touchscreen LCD (machined)

1- Side Handle (machined)

1- Side SSD Module (machined)

1- REDmote (machined)

1- 4- 128GB SSD cards

1- 4- batteries and charger

Price: $58,000

These features are temporarily disabled (firmware will reenable the features once production is running):

1. Audio

2. Playback

3. eHDR™ (HDRx™ will be enabled and is the professional solution)

4. Various lower resolutions... but all 5K options will be enabled.

Apparently, Peter Jackson has already pre-ordered over 30 of these Epic-M cameras for the Hobbit production.
