HPX500: Price Watch

Whoa, there's gotta be a misprint -- body only is $12,500 or you can buy body+four 16GB cards for $13,500? Yowza. That' can't be right... that's a raging steal. You could buy the body and sell a couple of the cards on ebay to subsidize the purchase, if you already had your own lens...

Tried a search and no luck... can you use the P&S with the HPX 500...

Yes, you can use the Pro35 which is designed for 2/3" cameras.

Or, you can mount a regular 35mm adapter in front of the lens, provided you can focus that close etc; if you do it that way you can use the LCD's built-in flip function too.
 
No viewfinder I imagine with that price. Suits me. I've got a spare 2" one sitting here doing nothing.

At that $13,500 it says it includes VF, tripod plate, and four 16GB cards. Even the "body only" package includes a viewfinder.
 
That is really cheap. I mean I have an SDX900 and the body only was in the high twenties in the US only three years ago.
 
SDX900 body-only was $27,000 only a couple of years ago (or so). Now you're getting a high-def variable-frame-rate 2/3" camera including lens, VF, tripod plate, and four 16GB cards all for a total package price of under $20,000.
 
Great prices to start off. I however wont be jumping in til the end of the year, suits me as I want to see a good range of footage from different lenses. Incidently the best price I have found so far in Japan (based on todays currency rates) is $11047 USD.
 
The lowest I've seen it from any dealer in the USA (including lens) is about $20k. No battery or charger in that bundle though.

If you have your own lens, Abel appears to be offering it for $13,500 including four 16GB cards, viewfinder and tripod plate.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the viewfinder is included is it not?
 
I know it's early, but Barry/ JAN, any word on pricing on the HPX3000g ? Sorry for jumping on this thread.
