JVC RS1000 / 2000 Anticipation Thread

[Manni]

I guess it's a race. Who ever takes possession of their RS2000 first can start the owners thread here.

Please let's not make it so that anyone can start an owner's thread just because they get their unit first. We've seen what often happens in the past when you do this: some random guy starts the thread, posts a couple of unboxing pictures and disappears. Not great when we have no way to manage the thread after they leave.

At least whoever wants to start the thread should agree to manage a first post with FAQ, links, etc otherwise it quickly becomes pointless to have an owner's thread, at least as a reference for new owners so that the same questions aren't asked over and over again. I mean, I'm sure it will be the case but at least we can send them to the first post  .

I think it's also great if the thread starter is knowledgeable, so if you volunteer you definitely get my vote

I'll be busy enough with the calibration thread, so I can't take both on, but of course I'll be happy to contribute to the owner's thread if I can.

Anyway, let's see who gets their unit first *and* volunteers to start the owner's thread. There are many knowledgeable users who are expecting one, so let's hope we get lucky!

If you're going to be posting a ton of calibration related information, I'd say you're probably better suited to start the thread then. I agree it's best that some random person doesn't start the thread. A lot of useful information can be posted in the first post of a thread that can stop redundant questions from being asked.

[Manni]

I'll be posting tons of calibration-related info... in the new calibration thread (the link in my earlier post was bad, it looks like the link icon is buggy, so I corrected it)

I'll happily contribute to the owner's thread but I won't post too much calibration info there because in my experience many owners are not interested in calibration beyond basic settings, and the technical calibration discussions bores them to death. Those who are interested can join the calibration thread, and we can discuss the topic there freely.

So I'd rather focus on the calibration thread for that part of the discussion. But there should still be basic settings recommendations in the owner's thread to help people get started.

As I said I don't think I can take on the owners' thread on top of the calibration thread, so let's see who gets their unit first and steps forward if you don't volunteer... Willing to maintain a useful first post (or more) is a requirement. Knowledgeable/experienced is an optional plus.

Can I place a bet?

Hey Mike,

I see that in the past you or Craig started the owner's threads. Would one of you be happy to start this one too? That would be ideal!

Also any reason to keep the rs1000/2000 and the rs3000 separate?

I see that Craig has just started an rs3000 thread. Could this become the rs1000/2000/3000 owner's thread, or do you want to start a separate rs1000/2000 thread?

[AVSCraig]

I felt with the different lens that the RS3000 is different enough to warrant a separate thread. I vote for Dylan to start the owners thread for 1000's / 2000's.

Cool, Dylan's got 100% of the votes as of now. Question is: does he want to?

If no one else has made a thread by the time mine arrives, I will gladly start the new owners thread. 

I might not be quite as proficient as you are at keeping the original post up to date though.

If Dylan wants it, it is his.

By tomorrow, RS1000's will be in stock.

[Dylan Seeger]

My tracking info says my RS2000 will be here tomorrow!!

Well, that's assuming it left AVScience's warehouse today.

[Manni]

My tracking info says next Tuesday, but then it's going a longer distance... Let's hope it's a pessimistic estimate.

Yes I believe they left today.

[Dylan Seeger]

Luckily for me, I only live about 250 miles from the warehouse.

OK Mr. Owner's thread starter - no slacking !

It did ship today.
