The new HPX-300

[Michael Shugrue]

I have to say I have read most of the threads but not all. This camera will work very well for a certain market. You can use most if not all the same gear that you have for all your other cameras, 3000,F-900 etc. The frame rates are a plus the cost is low. I figured most rental companies would rent them for approx 500 to 600 per week, plus the cost of P2 cards and with the E series thats even better. Its not the end all be all camera. I would be suprised if anyone could tell the difference watching on a televison at home if the footage was shot with this camera compard to a PDW-700 or even a Varicam.
I like having the options of the frame rates and that I can use P2 cards on many different and highier end cameras in the future.
