I read that European prices for the EX1 will be increasing on July 1 by 10%. This was quoted from an authorized dealer, according to the posting party.
Has anyone learned of any similar price increase in the US?
I have twelve days to make a decision to buy now, or hold off for an indefinate period, as a $650 increase would place the EX1 out of our shrinking budget.
If anyone has information from a reliable US source, it might be helpful to those who are in the process of decision-making.
I would really like to replace the rest of our (now worthless in terms of resale value) HDV cameras because of the workflow issues with HDV tape dropouts, audio synch problems and the entire day consumed just capturing tapes. Also, working in a mix of HDV and XDCam creates some problems, as well as having the HDV footage look like garbage after switching from the XDCam footage in an edit. I'm working on a project right now that is making me grit my teeth. I want out of HDV so badly I can practically taste it.
