Any Further News On 16 GB Shipping Dates?

I face buying 8G right now, but its not so bad because Im dying to film HD. So far I haven't seen a price for 4G that makes much sense. Seems the focus is on selling 8G and acquiring backorders for 16G.
 
ive been trying to buy 8gigs everywhere. they are simply not available... : (

and 4giggers are kind of a waste of money IMO
 
During the Spec Comm event in Baltimore yesterday, Jan mentioned that the first 500s and 16gig cards left Japan the day before.

I wonder if they are dropping the price of the 16 gig ones when the 32 gig comes out ?

More than likely! In fact they will probably drop the price of the 32's when the 64's come out so you are best to wait for them before buying. Then again you should probably wait 'till the 128's come out as I'm sure the price of the 64's will go down then. Or better still wait for the 256's, then you will get a real bargain on the 64's. No, wait for the 512's..........You know what it's better to not buy any at all as they will continue to lose their value.

Normally I would agree with your comment but knowing that the 32's are comming out in 4Q , if you have no pressing need to get a 16G card, I would wait to see what the price would be once the 32 is released.
 
I just spoke with avlive and they said that if I had my order in, the panasonic rep said they will receive their shipment. Meaning since I had my order in a while back, there should be no reason I dont get my 16gb unless panasonic does not ship them there shipment of 16gb cards. So basically it is all on panasonic since avlive said they had an order of about 20. She said the rep said it is supposed to be the end of may when they get them, so I hope he is not lying.

Damit, this sucks

Good point, but there's a chance that the 32GB may be delayed just like the 16GB were dealyed. Given that the price will go down over time, one just has to see what they need now, purchase that, and when the prices down, expand from there.

8GB P2 Cards Are Out There

I am not a shill for the company below, I promise. :D They're the licensed Panasonic dealer that sold me my HVX and Firestore. I was looking for 8GB cards, and my contact let me know that they've got some in stock (both new and demo). Here's his message…

"I have 6 new in the box and 5 open boxes (lightly used for demo). They are all $695."

So, if you're looking for 8GB cards, and need one now, give them a call. Hope this helps someone out there. Here's his info…

that same company claims they have 20 16gb on ebay. I wonder if it is true, Ebay I dont think would ever allow people to sell reserves, but maybe they would, not sure. do a serach for 16gb p2 on ebay, youll see it. i wonder how they got them and why they are selling them there and not on their site.
 
thats pretty shady sick boy.... i just checked that.... lol i wonder what they would say if you wanted it shipped next day? 6 days left of may and still no cards or even a word about whats up
 
They are supposed to note in the auction if they don't have the item in stock.
They are violating Ebay policy, and of course they don't really know when they will receive them.
Pretty shady!

My experience with them was nothing short of top-notch. When my Firestore battery turned up dead, they even arranged to meet me at the shop after hours to get me a fresh one.

I can't speak to the ebay thing, but they've come through for me every time I've dealt with them. So, if you need an 8GB now and can't find one anywhere else, call them.

Good to know, but there aren't any available 16 GB cards anywhere US side.

To try the sell them seems at least a little disingenuous. Moreover to claim you have 20 . . . .
 
i agree with david it just feels a little low... but then again so is b and h making you pay on a preorder that they dont even know when its going to arrive
