Great feedback guys!

Great feedback guys!

Thanks everyone for chimeing in this. I will check with all of the dealers you guys have mentioned.

I will keep you all posted with status!

I am in southern New Jersey (15 minutes from Philadelphia) so it would be great to find an authorized Panny dealer close to me.

Above was copied from the G&G video site). I bought mine before this offer was made, so I didn't get the extras, but you may find them worthwhile.

Also, because I'm a registered NJ business and have a fed tax ID, I paid no sales tax.

Good luck.

I did the same and it's a nice savings. You probably did pay too much indeed. AVS sold one to a buddy of mine 5 months ago for 4799 and 60 bucks in shipping with no sales tax. I still think that they had the best deal back when the HVX just came out. I bought mine in March of 06 for 5600 which included a 4 gig card.... sweet deal at the time.

Love my HVX. Just wish I hadn't shot recently with the A1.. not because I like the footage more or the camera, I don't. BUT man that camera has an LCD that's 30,0000 times better than the hVX LCD. Our beloved camera has the worst looking LCD on the planet... hence why I'm forced to either use another monitor or the viewfinder... jikes

In the UK we get to pay about £4700 (inc. 2 16gb cards) = $9409 approx!! Do u still feel you pay too much?

I've been watching the prices and it makes me feel like buying a grey import from Japan - the warranty is the only thing thats stopping me.

I got my camera from Spec-Comm back in February.
GREAT customer service, and a good deal too - had a couple of free batteries thrown in.

The people there are great, and very responsive.

As a quick side note - I've recently had an issue with my HVX (NOT spec-comms fault at all by the way).

Being that it's still under warranty, I contacted Panasonic directly.
When they started dragging their feet a bit, I send a message over to Andrew at Spec-Comm to see if there was anyway they could do anything. He replied immediately, told me he was sorry to hear I was having problems, and assurred me that they could take care of it for me if Panasonic wasn't getting back to me.

I'm giving Panasonic this week to get back to me - and if not, I'll be contacting Spec-Comm again on Monday to get the ball rolling.

Point is - great communication and great service over at Spec Comm.
I've been nothing but pleased with them so far.
 
I put this into the where to buy the HVX sticky too....

I got my HVX200 from Julian Diaz at AVS. He was super helpful and they had one in stock and he is also getting me some 16GB p2 cards later this month.

The HVX was $4810.00 with $30 shipping to GA. It came in 2 days and is an American Warranty one.

They have 16GB cards for $857.00. They have a boatload coming in the end of the month.

AVS also sent me a wireless mic that was a good deal too.

To get the good price tell Julian you are a DVXuser.com member.



I also called Shawn Tallard at fullcompass. He is cool, but they had none in stock and they wanted more $ too.

Luis- Spec-Comm's great. But if you feel you are having a problem with Panasonic "dragging their feet" on a warranty issue you should e-mail Jan right away (as opposed it waiting a week for someone to get back to you).
 
Well - to be fair, i didn't wait a week - I waited a few days, and then called back. Then waited another day...etc

Long story short - it's taken care of now, and Jan did wind up helping me out a ton.
Honestly, I didn't want to bother her with it - and I also felt like i shouldn't have to bother her with it.

But, what's done is done - Panasonic has my camera as we speak, and I have a loaner HVX from them so I don't have to cancel all my shoots (whew)

:thumbsup:
