current promorions

[Grant]

is there a thread or place here on the message boards for the current Panasonic, and other camera manufacturers for current promotions? I think it would be a real good idea to have this somewhere since most of the manu websites are a little well lets just say... confusing and not quite so easy to navagate and find info on. I discovered this when i decided that I wanted to confirm that Panny was still giving away a free P2 card with new HVX's and I cant find anything at all on it.

Anyone?

The free p2 cards ended on March 31st.

Until August 31st, it is free battery and software

wow, that kinda sucks.....I guess I will sit tight and wait. It would be nice to have some sort of sticky or update or somthing here on dvxuser with the latest and most up to date promos.

Sit tight and wait for another p2 card promotion? It might be a pretty tight and very long wait . . . .

The last p2 promotion was a picture of clarity and is still petering out, and I and others very much doubt you'll see another one soon.

If you got clients now get a cam and have them pay for the p2 card

Well, I dont actually make my bread and butter in that part of the industry. (I work more in the POST part). I wanted a camera for selfish reasons and to shoot some things of my own. So I can wait. I've watched these things before, and there is a pattern. I guess I will just wait for the next set of waves, who knows, maybe it will be the HVX200B

It's your call, but if you are waiting on a p2 card promotion, take a look at the current prices.

We've been told by Jan that no B is expected next year, and at the most there will be minor firmware revisions.

But if it's a hobby, take your time.
