B and H price list

It's probably the bundle that comes with two 8GB P2 cards. Or perhaps they're creating a presales list for the earliest adopters that will pay anything to get it first. Of course, it could just be an erroneous listing... the camera doesn't come out for months...
 
I thought there was a P2 price drop announced already. Shouldn't this be a $9300 bundle? Somewhere I read a $1700 price for an 8 gig card.
 
By the time the camera comes out, actual pricing will be known, but until then, it's completely speculative. The 8gb cards don't even exist yet, and won't exist until August.

What Panasonic has said is that a 4gb card now costs what a 2gb card used to cost last year. Extrapolating forward is probably where people are getting the $1700 idea. I don't recall seeing or hearing anyone say anything about the 8gb card costing $1700.

But if the cards are cheaper by the time the camera's announced, you can certainly expect the bundle price to be adjusted accordingly. However, I don't expect that they will be. I expect the 8gb to be $2500 when the camera's released.
 
Panasonic reps at NAB said they're "targeting" $2495 for an 8GB card upon release. I heard that number more than once.
 
EVen more important B&H is closed for passover. They probably put this page up before the NAB announcement, and are not going to be back to update it until May 2nd at the earliest.
 
$2500 for a 8Gb P2?

Man, that buys you 100 minutes of 35mm film including processing.

P2 better come down fast. I know the more times you use it the cheaper it gets, but it's a huge up front investment now.
Firestore, please save us!
 
Gee, let me know where I can buy 100 minutes of 35mm film including processing for $2,500 and I'll shoot film every time.

10,000 x .30 for short end prices = $3,000
lab x .13 including prep = $,1,300

now if you're talking 100 foot short end loads at .12 a foot maybe.
But you better have a lot of mags on set or a couple of super fast loaders.
 
I'm talking about Fuji 500T Color Negative , 400' rolls, $0.40 per foot.
Processing $0.195 per foot

Do the math.

Yeh - ONCE - The P2's are reusable. Last time I checked you can't reuse film..... :grin:
You're not comparing apples to apples.......
Film is like gaff tape - an expendable that's replaced
P2 cards are like camera lenses... you don't replace it for each project.

Speaking to a Panasonic rep at the NAB booth, when asked how much the 8GB P2 cards will be, he said, "$1,400." This, I assume, is an estimate of what the price MAY shake out to be by the time the camera is released.
 
Do the math. Okay.

1,000 foot load equals give or take 10 minutes of 35mm film.
So we meed 10 1000' footers which equals 10,000 feet.
10,000 feet times .40 cents (your Fuji price) = $4,000

I'm not trying to be smart here. But lab process 35mm for 2 cents a foot. Let me know where. And I'll use them the next time I shoot 35mm.

Unless you really mean 20 cents a foot. So had another $2.000 bucks for lab work (not sure if your throwing in going to beta cam for editing or not).

If your thinking a 400' foot load equals 10 minutes yes it does in 16mm not 35mm.

I was told $2495 twice, and I actually have some video of that being said. Are you sure that price wasn't for 4GB card?
 
I never have luck using the search, but someone who has luck maybe they can try a search. I know I'm repeating myself but I read somewhere that the cards where going to be $1,700.

But I could have gotten that wrong. Like Barry says from someone figuring the price drop on the 4g. Then trying to guess if the 8g will be lower when it hits the market also.
