Order your Panasonic AG-HVX200 HD P2 at BH store TODAY!

Interesting… I was hoping for a technical details page on that, but oh well. Nice to see that BH thinks they will be able to ship some first run units in September though. I’m assuming this package is with the two 8gb P2 cards? Also interesting to note, no mention of miniDV or a tape transport at all.

I suppose that yes, it

2k per card is completely over priced. The thread below clearly shows you can make your own P2 cards with off the shelf parts at a fraction of the cost. And a company like Panasonic could (if they wanted to) even go cheaper because they can buy in bulk and manufacture large quantities.

I know Jan speaks of things on here being more complicated than we think, and I fully appreciate that statement. Theres alot I do not understand about the engineering of a camera. But ive built computers for years so i do understand computer parts, and the P2 solution (based on Panasonics prices) is overpriced by 50% or more.

As the camera gets closer to delivery, we’ll see alot of solutions emerge that undercut the price of the Panny P2 cards significantly.

I think Panasonic want cheaper solutions for people and themselves. The introduction of this camera is one way they hope to bring costs down.

Compare the SDX-900 ( tape) with the SPX-800 (P2)
Same camera, no tape. $25.000,- vs. $19.000,-

The BH listing says HDV which is not correct.. who is writing the copy for theie website? Sony?

Can you also offer reason why not?
