Just playing devil's advocate here but with the 4Gb cards being discontinued is there any chance that the firmware upgrade for the 16GB crads might render the 4GB cards unusable? In my opinion Panasonic did the right thing by not pricing the 16s at $1,200.-$1,400. as expected but could they force users to upgrade?
Obviously this a question only Panasonic can answer but it got me thinking this morning on the way in to work. I'm still using some 4 giggers and with the resale prices plummeting on ebay I just don't want to give them away, so I'm hoping that even with the 16s and eventually the 32s that all sizes will still be compatible with the HVX.
I ordered 2 16s last night from AValive which they said were expected mid-May but he also had just spoken to his Panasonic rep 5 minutes before I called and the rep said that the firmware upgrade may be delayed till June or July. He then told me that the May shipment might also be the last one till almost the end of the Summer.
