Yesterday, on REDUser, Jarred released the in order in which they would roll out DRAGON. He also released some exciting news, they have “slipped HDR-X in when nobody was looking”. HDR-X wasn’t expected until a later firmware update.
Here is the official 6K DRAGON Sensor Priority List:
CARBON DRAGON –New Carbon Dragon orders are manufactured and shipped on their own schedule. 2-3 weeks after order.
PRIORITY 1: “EPIC-M DRAGON / Early Adopter / Purchased EPIC-X Within 30 Days of NAB” Upgrades*
PRIORITY 2.1: “EPIC-M DRAGON New Camera Orders: After all owners of “EPIC-M / Early Adopter / Purchased EPIC-X Within 30 Days of NAB” have been notified they are eligible to send in cameras for upgrade*, new EPIC-M DRAGON orders will begin to be processed.
PRIORITY 2.2: EPIC-X DRAGON Upgrades: After all owners of “EPIC-M / Early Adopter / Purchased EPIC-X Within 30 Days of NAB” have been notified they are eligible to send in cameras for upgrade*, EPIC-X DRAGON upgrades will begin to be processed.**
PRIORITY 3: SCARLET DRAGON Upgrades: After all owners with EPIC-X DRAGON upgrade pre-orders have been notified their cameras are eligible for upgrade, SCARLET DRAGON upgrade orders will begin to be processed.
PRIORITY 4: EPIC-X DRAGON New Camera Orders: Date to be able to order is TBD.
PRIORITY 5: SCARLET to EPIC-X DRAGON Trade-ins: Will begin being processed once EPIC-X new camera orders are shipping.
* Refers to pre-orders placed during the exclusive “EPIC-M / Early Adopter / Purchased EPIC-X Within 30 Days of NAB” ordering window. Remember, this was between Monday AM and Thursday AM of NAB 2013 where only those customers who qualified could place upgrade or new EPIC-M DRAGON pre-orders.
** Since BOMB SQUAD has been getting a lot of calls on this, Priority 2.2 is where EPIC-M DRAGON / Early Adopter upgrades would be processed if not part of the “EPIC-M / Early Adopter / Purchased EPIC-X Within 30 Days of NAB” ordering window. No priority between EPIC-X and EPIC-M at this level, orders will be processed by date/time stamp.
