Well, there’s still about eight hours to go until the big announcement, but RED’s Jim Jannard has posted some new pictures of both the RED Scarlet 3K camera, and the 5K RED Epic. Like all the images posted since the redesign, they are small, really close up, and probably just leading speculation away from the truth. Some of these look like parts of the new cameras, but the first one looks like it could be of a new lens – possibly indicating that Scarlet has interchangeable lenses?
Still, it remains to be seen what RED come up with, and I, like most people who have been constantly refreshing REDUser and ScarletUser for weeks, can’t wait!

This is interesting. Jim has let slip that “Scarlet® and RED EPIC® are part of the same DSMC system”. This new image seems to be of Epic, but given this new information, it could actually be a hybrid of components from both the cameras.
This one could also be a RED Scarlet camera configured as an SLR. This would probably mean that Scarlet will be able to have interchangeable lenses, and that it is probably full frame. If speculation is correct though, it could be, on the other hand, an Epic sensor module.
