dvx 100 prices moniter: blame the hdx100

[geffy]

theres been lots of speculation about the effect on dvx 100 prices of the new camera, lets end the speculation and post here the decreasing prices! remember the xl1s reduced by over a third until its demise as dealers stocked the xl2, please
note the uks a rip off dont be shocked by uk prices, my experience is 2995 gbp latest offering now 2400! prices over the next few months could be interesting!

Jan pretty much stated the camera won't drop in price for a long time, as the new camera is not intended to be an upgrade or replacement to the DVX. Different animal altogether. I hop this is the case, as I'm about to drop some cash on the DVX!

hi
id wait a couple of weeks if you can, the dealer i dealt with emailed me pretty sharpish, so i checked on the net and found this site......... he didnt mention anything of the new cam, and interestingly enough now ive seen ex demos appearing for sale in uk shops id expect usa to be even better wouldnt an ex demo better than second hand, ill guarentee the price will fall some how!

and to add to the pressure on prices " In fact a new lighter version of the DVX is planned later this year as well".................whod have guessed

..i dont know about you but id rather have the camera heavier. why? because that extra wight helps stabilize the camera and reduce shake. theres a reason that bigger cameras get more stable footage .. its because they wont flop around in the wind in your hand with every little lightest muscle twitch you have or every bump you hit. sure they generally have better OIS systems too but ALOT of times it comes down to the fact that its alot harder to shake a 10lb rock than it is to shake a 3 lb one. thanks to physics its inherantly more stable.

i seriously would not want a lighter DVX. its light enough as is IMHO.

Re: dvx 100 prices moniter: blame the hdx100

im more worried new camera may have better specs or be cheaper, anyways the resale value of the old dvx would be affected, not to mention the old stock and demo market! id wait..........................

a good wieght for a cam should tip the scales at least 10 pounds and at the most 20 with all the bats and lights on it.

i would not expect the DVX to drop drastically. as someone said in another thread: a 5 series BMW does not hurt the 3 series really.

the HDX will be 6000-10000 (with the P2) so the 3000 for the DVX will actually appear a bargain for many.....and it is ;D

"i would not expect the DVX to drop drastically. as someone said in another thread: a 5 series BMW does not hurt the 3 series really".
unless it runs into the back of one ;D
but maybe the pressure from the new model dvx will affect prices more than the hdv, which i think your saying, id only buy the old model at a good price and i think prices will come down just a question fo how much?

Hi,

The camera will actually weigh about the same but will be lead free, this will happen in the fall to comply with the ROHS inititive. And in all honesty, I don't see the price of the DVX changing. You will always see the shaky gray market deal but the authorized product with the Magic Bullet, and the DVX Book should be stable.

Best regards,

Jan

I agree with the others, I really don't think it's going to affect the price of the DVX. The HDX will be in a category of it's own at several thousands of dollars price delta. Besides, DVCProHD is a beast onto itself, and certainly no match to HDV.

I am assuming what you meant is that HDV is no match for DVCPROHD. Right?

He must have. Perhaps it's the language barrier. I doubt anyone could genuinely mean that!

 so the price of the new one will be the same as the old so maybe old stock bargains for people needing a second cam! dealers will be happy to offload cheaper if the new ones the same price............

Re: dvx 100 prices moniter: blame the hdx100

I doubt that dealers will be advertising that the new "version" of the DVX is lead free. From what I've read about the ROHS initiative my old DVX will probably outlast those that are lead free.

The new is the old is the new, don't see how that will affect price. But if you feel like not buying a camera for the next six months be my guest. Six months is a lot of lost work.

DVX100a price pressure does not come from HDX, but from SOny FX-1 which sells now for same price as DVX with rebate. Panny will have to adjust down IMHO to be $400 - $500 cheaper than FX1 to retain most market share, and even at that they may lose some. I am waiting until after NAB to buy anything.

Heres a rumor -- DVX100b with 16.9 chips. :

Re: dvx 100 prices moniter: blame the hdx100

:-X "the DVX100B, which Jan said will be lead-free.  As far as I know, though, no other feature has been announced for it.  Jan said that she's trying to get some extra features in, but she doesn't know if she'll be able to"
so if there are extra features the price of the old dvx 100 should drop like a piece of lead :'(

Re: dvx 100 prices moniter: blame the hdx100

Like the lead dropping off the new dVX100... Sorry, that pun was dangling and I had to pop it.
