Expresscard to PCMCIA

[Sunstream]

any word on price?

 

[Cynic821]

None that ive heard yet.

 

[David Saraceno]

I remember $200.00 or so bandied about a while back.

But nothing straight from the company.

 

[Cynic821]

What do you guys think would be a good price for this adapter?

 

[Sunstream]

$99-$149 sounds about right. That would be in line with other expresscard adapters, and a reasonable price.

 

[David Saraceno]

$150.00 sounds good as well.

 

[for_mlove]

Not quite as good as $99 though. I would think it could be nicely profitable in that price range.

 

[David Saraceno]

Not if cost $100.00 to make.

P2 through adapter. 4gb card full to brim with footage : 2:16;27 to transfer, not bad. not bad.

I'm assuming that the reason people take their P2 cards out of the camera is because they have 2 and are recording to the other card so can't off load the first?
Is that correct?

Indy....

Thats true, but also. Even if you arent going to be shooting while dumping one, it would suck to have to take the camera back to where all your gear is everytime. With the adapter even if you only have one card, theres no need to lug the camera to your workstation, or lug the laptop to the camera. Someone can use the camera to setup the next shot and get alot more done while dumping the card(s). Its not time wasted.

Any new info on this? Last I heard it was coming out december, and that came and went... Have emailed them but they have never replied.

They got back to me and said it is still in beta - they will be releasing "soon". Buy a cheep PC lappy until they get it out.
