Bad time to buy a HPX170?

Guess what? The HPX-171 is already out. That is the camera you want for your country. The HPX-171 shoots in PAL compared to the HPX-170 that shoots in NTSC.

Add that to the big list of things you do not know.

Correction, the 171 shoots PAL OR NTSC. That makes it twice as cool.

lol @ steve, make sure you add that to the list of things you don't know as well. :laugh:
 
Next HPX170 will be an "A" (170A) unless they decide to make a major change, then it could be any letter/number combo.

I'm partial to AG-HLL666, nicknamed the Satan cam. Handheld full raster 1080P 2/3 CCD AVC-I P2 cam :)

I've heard about the $500 rebate, but is that only in the US or world wide? I live in Sweden and haven't seen anything about a rebate here.

Since I'm buying it through my company it's a hassle to buy used items from abroad, and it may cost more with the legal abvice I would need to make it correctly. But on the other hand I only need that advice once and then I know how to do it... The waterhousing sounds interresting. I will PM you and we can talk about it there (and you take on the 5d m2).

Hello,

Rebates and promotions vary by country. The $500 is a US rebate -- the European division of Panasonic might offer a like rebate, or something completely different, or perhaps nothing at all. I would recommend checking the Panasonic website for Sweden and their page on the AG-HPX171 (PAL / European model), promotions are usually listed online.

Best,
