Hello to all:

Look as I see it there is far more demand for the P2 cards then supply as this bidding war plays out on ebay....

current bid for a 16 gig card is 1,100.00 and climbing by the minute. How is it that Panasonic can't keep up with the demand or is this a ploy to make it the big thing. I love P2 but not at the crazy high prices because of low supply. I am no expert on the full scale process of manufacturing but if these were readily available like tape Panny would be making a killing.

Anyone want to sell me a 16 gig card. i leave for Tanzania in 1 week. Send me a message?

I know this must be hurting sales for Panasonic. I personally know of one company who is going to start using other HD cameras because they cannot find a large supply of P2 cards. Pretty pathetic.

They (panasonice) are definetly losing customers because of the lack of any available P2 cards. Even a miniscule supply of available P2 cards would be nice. It doesn't help either that the P2 cards, which aren't really available, are being favored towards the HXV500 customers.
 
It just sucks for the people who adopted the HVX early, and are rewarded by free 16gb cards for next year rebaters, while we cant find an even an 8gb card. :(
 
I really doubt that they are loosing customers... just new converts anyway. Things were far worse back when the cam came out.. and people waited and go through the times that there were really no cams or cards. This cam has established itself in the industry that everyone else is now trying to keep up...


And now thankfully the issue of run times is coming to an abrupt close... and I can't wait to have 84 minutes of run time....
 
videoscopeusa.com didn't have any 16gig p2's, but thanks for at least giving me another place to put my name at when they do come in...

Bizarre, I talked to the owner today and he said they had lots of 16GB cards in stock right now. Did you try calling them directly? 1-305-438-3742...

I talked to one of the sales reps at videoscopeusa and he said they are discontinued and no longer being made. Not sure if this is true, so I ordered 2 away because I only have (1) 4 gig card.

4's are discontinued... as far as I know 8's are still being made... but I expect availability to be better for 16's than 's in the future b/c the memory for 8's is harder to find from what i have read...
 
What are you guys talking about? P2 cards are everywhere:)
