Hi Guys,

Ordered and Received today a P2 Fuji 32gig Today from my FUJI supplier (i'm based in Australia), Looks like it came from the same factory as did the Pana cards. I believe that the 16gig are not yet available.

Ingest speed tests into My Intel Macpro OS 10.5.5--

Test A, via "drag n drop" Contents files (29gig- 1hour9mins- DVCpro50 SD) from desktop via my card reader to a raided drive set took 19mins.

Test B, via "Log n Transfer"into FCP 6.0.4 (29gig- 1hour9mins- DVCpro50 SD) via my card reader to a raided drive set took 17mins.

I could find No difference between this card and the Pana P2 cards except the price was less than the pana cards, this was because my supplier treated it as a retail product.
I see panasonic have included them on their P2 Format Station site.

Thanks for the update!

Hi Chip, All I can say it was over a Couple of hundred Less than the same Pana 32gig. My supplier says he just buy's it in and then delivers to me. No sitting on the shelf. I suppose If I had have bought five for my five slots that would be $1000 AUD saving.

Every bit helps!

Still no word from anyone here in the US but sounds like we might be really close.
 
Well well well. Looks like Fuji finally got these things out the door. I guess better late than never.

Who knows what shipping quantities are like, but this is at least a good step. I wonder if Fuji will have 64GB cards in short order. If they're cheaper than Panasonic cards, I certainly hope so....

THanks for the post!

Hi Gary, Noel,

I think that if you talk to the Panasonic Dealers out there you will find the Panasonic P2 Cards at similar prices to Fujinon. We have some 16GB demo cards on offer at the moment. 64GB's are around 3 weeks away.

Hello Rob,
I've spent over $10.000 on P2 cards to date , all except my latest Fuji 32gig card, were Panasonic, I couldn't get any discounts when dealing with Pana outlets, 16 gig (demo/used cards at say $1000 AUD) is too small these days, maybe OK for news crews and those that love to Off load to HDD's, but for me 32gig currently is King.
I just dumped my 2 extra 8gig cards at a giveaway price, they don't have much re sale value on the used market.

Cheers Rob, will PM.

On another side note. I have a FS100 - 100gb (NTSC), whilst I still often shoot NTSC, I dont need this for those few. I wanted to see if theres anyone out there in need of one or someone who wants to swap for a PAL version.
 
So how much MSRP is that for the U.S.?

Also any news on the 64GB cards? I need them ASAP. Been waiting for them for a few months now.
 
Tom, I am interested in your card reader on top of the Mac in your pic. Is there anywhere I could go to get some info on it?

Would also be interested in knowing the reliability of the Fuji cards.

Cheers, DS

Hi David,
Lots of info on the Macpro reader on My web site- www.olinevideo.com.au

Fuji P2 card, is no different to the Pana P2 cards.
I now have Two Pan 32gig and a Fuji 32gig plus two 8gig pana cards, I very recently sold at a bargain basement price my two spare Pana 8gig cards.
Performance of the Fuji P2 card in My SPX800 and the Macpro reader is no different to the Panasonic cards. Firmware in the Fuji card is same as the Pana card for that 32 gig size also.

these are the different firmwares for the three cards that are out there currently----
32GB cards are at version 1.01
16GB cards are at version 1.00
and 8 GB cards are at version 1.03
Each card capacity has a different firmware version so they don’t necessarily match or increase the firmware version number as card capacities increase.
No doubt 64 gg will also have different firmware on the card.

Hello Noel,

The way the Aussie economy is heading at the moment, If your considering buying anything, Do it Now, the next shipments of imported products will be much more expensive than current stocks. Just my experience from many years in business.
