  1. "You miss the point Tim was making. He was showing that people are all too happy to allow JJ to take his sweet time despite his pretentious delivery schedule." Red has always stated everything subject to change .. so what ! if RED delays the delivery and the persons that put down a deposit are OK with it - if they don't like it they do have choices - wait , complain, buy another camera or any combination .. i know on the projects i work on we all have good intentions on dates, equipment ..we all like to think we can do it and many times we do and sometimes we don't ... "I don't understand why posters like you come on this forum and defend RED so fervently" 1st i was pointing out that reservationist from a year ago are ending up with a good deal on their down payment ... now on this post i'm defending RED reservationist ... why should it bother you if they are OK with the trade off of a delay and a improved camera ?? "but do not have the courage to give your real name. "You don't honestly expect us to believe that your real name is Don Donetello, do you?" now before i would make that kind of statement i would at least try google ... it's the name on my driver license .. and it is not the name i use in business ...according to cinematograpghy.com guidelines i cannot use my business/credit name .. i have to say i do like the sound of Matt Matthews ... Tim - did we meet in Portland maybe 4-5 years ago ... maybe something to do with vinton studio's
  2. get your facts straight .... a year ago it was $1000 for a reservation not 2000 ... also note that those that did put down 1000 a year ago get $2500 off accessories ...so you tell me what bank you can deposit 1000 into a CD and when you withdraw it you get your 1000 + 2500 ?? .... also note that if one decided they do not want the camera RED will give them back 1200 - again you tell me what bank is paying 20% interest on 1000 ... the only accounts that i know about paying 5% require 10K + "$2,000 deposit, plus interest that I could've gotten in a CD over the last year, I could pull off a decent short. My Super 8 short I'm working on only has a budget of $800.00. I could've shot 16mm with that extra cash. " so exactly why didn't you shoot 16mm with the extra cash from that CD ???
