Congrats !
I’ve had mine a week now and I love it.
There is a small fix you may need to do reguarding two screws underneath the battery mount. Your dealer may have done it already but, they just need to be tightened. Takes 5 min tops and is very easy but, dont strip any screws. Probably should ask your dealer about it if you aren’t sure.

Did it come packaged with the lens? If so how much was the package? Does the lens have a 2X? thanks for he info
-
The HDX900 doesn’t come with a lens or anything actually. Just the camera body like most professional video cameras. They don’t even come with viewfinders or a way to stick it on a tripod. Everything else is bought seperatly and adds up very fast.

We got the Canon HJ17ex7.6B lens and yes it has a 2X extender.
-
Thanks for the tip. Did you get the wireless receiver that sits in the on-board mount?

Acutally Panasonic plans to package this cam with 2 choices of Fuji lenses… (the more expensive choice has the 2x ext.)

They do ? That an official Panasonic package or some kind of dealer offered package ? Not that I would have bought such a thing but, nobody ever mentioned it to me buying mine. I cant find it listed on the Panasonic site.
Not saying its not true but, maybe its something their dealer network put together here. Panasonic selling fuji lenses seems strange too.
Mine was sold to me just like my Varicam and the camera before that. “Do you want a viewfinder and tripod plate with that ?” “OK, well put in the order”. Thats really what I want out of my dealers though and probably why I’ve actually got my camera instead of waiting still.
I pre-ordered mine several months ago so, maybe its just a new thing Panasonic is doing.
Anyway, lens choice is very important and you probably don’t want to leave it up to Panasonic. Best deal is get the camera body and rent the right lens for the job. If you find one you love and can’t live without then buy it.

Just shot some flowers outside my office using stock settings. WOW!!! The images are gorgeous!

I didn’t but, Unislot is actually something Ikegami came up with I think. As far as I can tell there doesn’t seem too many of them out there. The quality of the ones out there probably wouldn’t fly for anything besides ENG use.
Lectrosonic is working on one they hope to have out for NAB next year. I’d wait if you possibly can.
Probably the Sennheiser ek3041 is the best of whats out there. https://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=004435
Azden makes one too but, I’m not a fan Azden stuff https://www.azdencorp.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=93347&cat=37&page=1
