Here is the latest from Jim Jannard regarding the status of how feature complete the first Cameras will be and the schedule and method of updating the firmware:

"We have said for months that all features would NOT be enabled for the 1st cameras going out the door. I would give you a complete list, but we continue to enable features as we prepare for this coming Friday. We expect that all features will be done by early October. That means that if you get a camera before that date, you will receive a "present" every week that enables features as they become available."

"You would open your email (or download from our website) a file that you transfer to a Compact Flash card. Insert the card and boot the camera. You will be asked if you want to "Upgrade your Firmware". You click "Yes". A minute later, you'll get a message that the update is complete. Reboot. Done."

"We have spoken to all reservation holders for the 1st 25 cameras and they understand this. But your number may be coming up soon after so you should know."

"You do have the option to wait until all features are enabled to take delivery at no consequence to you (if you have that much patience). We will hold your camera (same serial number) and ship when feature set is complete. So far, none of the 25 has chosen that option. But you can."

"We won't know exactly how many features will be in or out of the 1st 25 until Thursday night. We will be testing and deciding until the last minute. Since things change everyday, what we say today will not mean much. I'm sure you will all hear about what is "in" and what is "coming" by Friday night."

This released on Sept 25th by RED regarding the feature set schedule:

"While we are a bit behind, new features are about a week away in a new firmware build (that we hope is bug-free!).

Included are:

2k Windowed at 72fps (100fps is a few weeks behind)
Playback
Genlock
Waveform
... and a few other goodies

Audio has been moved into October.

We are making progress."

-Jim

This released recently by RED regarding the completion of all features:

You CAN choose to wait until all features are enabled to take delivery (with no penalty). We now expect all features to be enabled by November 30th.

We encourage anyone that is nervous about accepting a camera that does not have all features enabled to wait.

- Jim
