Did you find a low priced XH A1?

Thanks Barry

Thanks Barry

The A1 in-camera cannot approach how saturated you can get an HVX in-camera. The A1, at maximum color saturation, about matches an HVX when the HVX is in its middle position.

In post you can boost the color all you want.

Barry one last question. I have FCP Studio 2 with the new Color program. I have not started to work with the app. yet, but if I understand you correctly, I could get a A1 and get the colors attributes that I like with that camera? If that is the case, that would be a great savings to my production.
 
Just received my shiny new XH-A1 from B&H. $3299, USD, with the rebate form, $250, in the box. Best price I could find from a reputable source. Received USA product as ordered in the estimated ship time. Nice rig, I love it!

Even the semi-reputable crooklyn places couldn't beat this price.
 
The best deal i have found was B&H. very reputable. But I went to EVS in LA and asked them to match the price and they did. Also, very little sales tax if you tell EVS you are a production professional. They also have a website. Good guys. I paid 3300, minus rebate.
 
Nice camcorder, but the Sony XDCAM EX is on a whole other level, albeit at twice the price. This cam is causing a worldwide stir.
 
Amazon.com of all places has them for $3,299, plus you get the rebate (if you buy today. Though it's likely that the rebate will continue, or just be permanent soon enough.)
 
rebate has been continued.
JR.com $3273.00 plus $40 for overnight*. - rebate 250
really got the shipping free because the finance dept screwed up
and didn't ok the shipment same day. So I got it in two days for $3273. then rebate

Amazon has been out of stock for a week and a half.

BHphoto is now up to $3400.00 and no rebate. Anybody find anything recently? I just sold my HVX and am ready for another XHA1.
 
I bought it in the Netherlands @ digitalstreet.nl for €3247.00

Was the cheapest PAL around, however in germany you may find a few cheaper options.
 
I'm sure everyone will laugh at the price us Brits have to pay but the cheapest I could find it was Jessops -5% discount voucher which you can find on-line
Came out at £2189 (I think!)
I ended up buying the display model which they would'nt discount frurther but gave me money off tapes and accessories
B ought the display because there is a backlog of 16 XHA1s on order at the moment in the Uk and did'nt want to wait
Probably should have waited but he display model was unmarked and had been out of the box but not used
hope this helps

Is the rebate not being offered anymore? I've looked around on the website and can't seem to find it under promotions anymore. Does anyone know if the camera is officially rebateless? I am planning on buying one from Abes of Maine for $3144 and an extra $250 off would be sweet!

thanx

What is currently the best price of the AH X1?

I have seen it for $3,329.99 minus the $250 rebate.

Has anyone found and authorized dealer for less?

yeah-- check out ABE'S of MAINE in Jersey-- i think it's listed for $3099.00, they're an authorized Cannon dealer. i'm about to get mine there.
 
I called a place Photospirit, only because I found they were about an hour from me. They advertised the A1 for $2700, and had 3 in stock. He wanted $200 for shipping and I said I'd drive over to pick it up to save the money. When I said I wanted one WITHOUT the so called "bonus package" of tapes, case, lens cleaner.... he said he had none in stock to sell withoit the package. Said the package deals were put together by Canon. I hung up on the fool and bought it from Amazon.com for $3150 with free shipping

Ace photo (through Amazon) seems to have it at around $3300 with free shipping. But since I live in NJ, I can get to B and H in person to deal with stuff.. so it's worth a bit extra to be able to do face-to-face business.

I don't see anything about the rebate anywhere, including the canon site.. I think it's dead (?)
 
I called B+H and the rep told me that there was no rebate on the XH A1.

I looked at the J+R site and they have it listed for $3330 (with free shipping) which seems pretty good.

I still want to find out for sure about this rebate.
