Price of HMC150?

Does anyone know when Panasonic announces pricing for their products? Is it normally long before their release or is it usually very close to the release? I'm debating between buying a DVX100b in the next week or so or waiting until the price is announced for the HMC150, if it will be in the near future.

Thanks a lot!
 
Well, we'll know on Monday whether they announced the price or not. I suspect they will. We already know that it's likely to be much less expensive than the HVX, and current speculation is that it'll probably be between $3500 and $4000. But that's just speculation.

Where did you get that info from? The only thing official I saw was the press release that said "The HMC150 will be available this fall at a suggested list price under $4,500"

So I am hoping it is as Barry suggested, between $3500-$4000.
 
I don't expect a "real" price to be announced until way closer to the delivery time. Everyone here is complaining about the state of the dollar and how that's affecting pricing.
 
The article is clearly, plainly, and unquestionably wrong. Panasonic themselves have announced that the price will be "under $4500". I'm choosing to interpret that as it having a $3995 MSRP and will cling to that until proven otherwise. :thumbsup:

It still makes me laugh that people don't get that Scarlet and the likes of an HPX 150/170 are aimed at two different markets and it is not an apples to apples comparable.

yeah, scarlet is for filming kids football games. the AVCHD and P2 technology is too complicated for that :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

whoa whoa whoa i think you have this all mixed up you will most likely not see soccer moms pulling a scarlet out of their diaper bag
 
Anyone wanting a substantially lower price from an excellent vendor can PM me for a referral.

That makes no sense at all since they just scraped their design and are starting over. I wouldn't expect to see a Scarlett for atleast a year, or probably more. They do what they want and change their mind.. and in the meantime, you could shoot with the HMC and have that baby paid for. Waiting just seems like a fools game...

The post you responded to was from July. At that time MAYBE the Scarlet was a viable option but the HMC is certainly making it look like vaporware at the moment... :Drogar-Love(DBG):
