AF-100 discontinued . . . say it ain't so! (It ain't so.)

[Jon Furtado]

I just spoke to the Panasonic rep for EVS Camera in Glendale, CA. He laughed and said this was a rumor.

 

[Mike Harvey]

They still have it listed as discontinued. Oops.

NoFilmSchool is reporting that the AF-100 is done:

LOL, so I suppose the next logical step for them is to take a poll to determine the "truth" of the matter...

Hopefully closing the loop on this now... the AF100 is no longer listed as "discontinued" on the B&H site...

Man, I'm glad I'm not a paranoid conspiracy theorist. OTOH, Oliver Stone is probably making a film on this as we speak... "B&H, The Camera Maker/Breaker..." :shocked:

 

[John B.]

B&H also had the Sony F3 listed as "DISCONTINUED" but it isn't any more, either.

Yes. It's back in the bag. My cam. Quantum phenomena? Schroedinger's camera? Either continued or discontinued or both. Not. Wow!

Well,I wish this thread was closed, but if you were paranoid before, take a look now.. B&H now states that the AF100 is "Not available at B&H".. Someone want to explain that one?

 

[Barry_Green]

So no apology for calling me a liar, and instead doubling down... even after the numerous repeated instances that show that B&H makes mistakes? Fine.

If it's "not available at B&H" then maybe that means ... it's not available at B&H? Maybe they're sold out? There are hundreds and hundreds of dealers in the country that do have it, in stock, as a current model, ready for shipment immediately today. B&H is far from being the only dealer out there, and if they have inventory or website or stocking problems, then those mean that B&H themselves has inventory or website or stocking problems, and nothing more.

 

[Barry_Green]

And, fine, as your wish, the thread is closed.

B&H listed the Sound DVD as "discontinued" when I was temporarily out of stock. It never was.
