HVX-200 big price drop in Canada
The HVX-200 P2 camera has just dropped in price by $1000.00 in Canada.
I just bought my Camera two months ago and now its $1000.00 less!!!!
Is anybody else in the same boat?
Panasonic USA is offering a Rebate with a free 8 gig P2 card but is not here is Canada. This is a real kick in the n@tts -

life goes on… We’ve all been hit this way on laptops, hard drives, memory etc. often enough. You have to have work ready before purchasing equipment nowadays because it depreciates as soon as you hit the power switch. The trick is buy when you need it and work it.
Remember a year and a half ago (search posts) we were all saying “wow, if we could get a camera that does all that for $6000.00, that would be too awesome!” Back then the list price for the HVX200 and 2 – 4gig cards was $9999.00! Today it is $5300.00. There’s still nothing like it on the market, frame by frame HD – DVCPRo50/25 switchable, and not to mention dv on tape, the best just got better!
If you were going to get a P2 card you’d be better off buying in the US but if you were not planning to buy the P2 media right away the Canada deal is pretty nice. $1000.00 in the pocket is pretty nice, even if it is CND funds.
Remember when Panasonic slashed the cost of P2 from about $2300.00 to $1600.00 and the street price is now about $1200.00. One thing for shore, when Panasonic cuts a price, they don’t mess around! This ain’t nickels and dimes here!
