This posted online today by RED's Jim Jannard:

"We are going to machine and hand build a limited number of pre-production EPIC-M packages. They will include:

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

Total price is $58,000.

There will be an extra charge for a Canon mount.

If you are a RED ONE owner and are interested in this program, please contact Kelly at kelly@red.com

There will be a limited number of these cameras available at a cost of $58,000 per package. There is no guarantee that you will receive this package due to the limited number produced. Purchase of the camera package will not affect any other program (Stage) you have signed up for. 95% of features will be enabled... enough to shoot a feature movie. Firmware upgrades are to be expected.

We'll accept requests/orders and allocate based on history."

More from Jim:

"Before you think about placing an order for a machined EPIC-M, here are some things you need to know.

Some features are being disabled for stability on the EPIC-Ms until the production EPIC-Xs are released. Then a firmware upgrade will turn these features back on.

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.

Again, we will turn these options back on when the production cameras ship (or sooner)."
