Rumour or not; I think we have suspected this. Under $10,000? Ouch. Like what $8999.00 > :-/

[ShannonRawls]

OK!!!
Start saving the change in your ashtray and sofa recliner kiddies!!

Either way, if it's a better cordless drill then the one I have now....I'll buy one. *shrugs*

In the meantime, I'll use the cordless drill I just bought to continue building houses. I should have built enough houses by the time the new drill comes out to have paid for my current drill.

Others who wish to wait idly-by, twidling their thumbs for the realease of the new upcoming feature-packed cordless drill, can do so......... ME...........I'm going to work.

It was a no-brainer that they'd have to respond with a DVCPRO HD 24P camera...a Pana rep at DV Expo even gave me a sideways wink saying "wait a little bit".

I thought it was going to be a little more head-to-head though. Seems Pana is taking the "high road", counting on customers to reject arguable quality of HDV and hassles of workflow. Not to mention creating a new mid-market price space...even $7-8K would weed out the enthusiasts.

Seems cool though...I would rather have more of a choice this way. Z1 for myself, HDX100 for low-budge paid jobs, and film/SDX-900 or F900 for things over $30k.

Didn't they say it would be priced around the same as the Z1?

Personally a DVCPRO HD cam under 10K... wow. With progressive scan from the same guys who brought us the DVX? No questions asked it'll be worth the price.

I haven't heard anyone authoritative comment on this yet. As far as I can tell, this is a story written by someone who wasn't there, according to reports that supposedly someone who *was* there gave them, even after they'd been "sworn to secrecy" but chose to talk anyway, right?

Who's to say it's accurate? Who's to say it's official?

Rumor-mongering is fun, but I'd still want to wait to see the official word from Panasonic before declaring anything as being valid or relevant.

Barry, in the thread linked above, it looks like Jan Crittenden has confirmed:

1) that the meeting happened
2) that the camera will be under $10K
3) that it will record DVCPROHD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO
4) that it will record 24P

Notably, she does not comment on:

1) memory card pricing
2) if memory cards are included in the $10K price
3) if it records to tape

Barry, Jan has posted responses on two different boards commenting on the developing threads...and definately not denying the info.

To me, the idea I got was that she was ok with the info getting out, and wanted to control rampant speculation about things NOT mentioned in the news.

[edit] Hah! Simultaneous posts!

[ShannonRawls]

Barry, so Jan Crittenden, Product Manager of DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, AG-DVX100 @ Panasonic Broadcast & TV Systems is not valid or relevant and she's just Rumor-mongering??
