  • barry/jan/noah: any idea when the hvx camera will be released?

    Posted by Rob Katz on December 1, 2005 at 2:55 am

    according to my accountant, i need to spend the money on a camera in 2005.

    any idea if the panasonic hvx200 will be out in the stores by midnight on dec 31, 2005?

    any and all thoughts are appreciated as i patiently wait to spend my money!

    be well

    I don’t know if it’s different in Europe, but a reseller in Norway told me that they had been told that release was postponed till March… 🙁

    Kind regards,
    Eric

    Hi,

    The cameras will start to ship at the end of December, I think that is true for Canada as well. As for you guys in Europe, there is a delay till February-March time frame.

    Best,

    Jan

    Hi Robb,
    BH&H will gladly take you money now as an advance purchase right now. Run that by your accountant.

    That’s probably the best suggestion, if you have to spend the cash this year. The HVX is massively back-ordered, I asked four or five dealers and they all said the same thing: they have 80 to 100 orders each. So they’ll probably be in very scarce supply until all the backorders are filled; the odds of getting one in December are pretty low unless you pre-ordered early.
