C100 + Ninja2 group buy?

[Pelican]

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a group purchase discount on the C100 + Ninja2?
I know Canon has laid the law, $6499 and no less. But can dealers offer DVXusers a discount on a package deal with the Ninja2?
I mention the Ninja2 specifically because Canon has been working with Atomos to allow the Ninja2 to start/stop with with the C100.

To quote another poster.. the recorder will start recording picture (and sound) when you press the record button on the C100 and stop like-wise. No need to separately hit record etc. on the Ninja2. Timecode on Ninja2 is same as C100 as outlined at about 3m 30s onwards in the video.

I know that Atomos offers an educational discount price of about $760 for the Ninja2, be nice to get that prIce.

In talking with Canon, a pulse goes down the HDMI when the record button is hit to start & when it is hit again to stop. Atomos has taken advantage of it but any of the other manufacturers could also take advantage of it if they want...and I expect they will.

Good to know Jim. Thanks
I spoke with Terry Nixon at Texas Media Systems. He's offering DVXusers Free overnight shipping on the C100. That's about a $50 deal. Canon has this price controlled, and the Ninja doesn't really have that much room to wiggle.
BTW, we will be getting the ninja2 EDU discount. It's for the college.

Not till it starts and stops automatically when you record on the C100. And duplicates camera time code.

Thanks...I was wondering what the got'chas were.

We just updated our C100 order page so you can add the Ninja as an option.

Does the ninja record a 24p, 30p file, or does it record a 60i file? I've seen various reports about this and I'm a little confused.
