"Sorry, there are things I can discuss, like workflow on P2, DVCPROHD, DVCPRO50, what are they? how do they work?  But the only answers I can give on this new camera specifically is under 10,000, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, DVCProHD, 24P and on a P2.
Wish I could say more.
Best, Jan"
what i cant understand is why anyone would buy a dvx just now full price, dvc pro 50, 24p, 16:9, yet people still voting in for buy now, methinks they just dinnae want to see they re investment depreciate before they get rid o it,  ;) ill probably come across to ny to buy a hdx in the summer should be halfish of the price here, good old weak dollar!
 
Re: dvx 100 prices moniter: blame the hdx100

Because under 10,000 is much higher than buying a fully kitted out DVX for 3 grand. And as has been mentioned before there's no HDDVD yet. And SD is going to be around for at least five more years.

And because you will have to wait six months for the new VunderKam...

Re: dvx 100 prices moniter: blame the hdx100

its been suggested that the new panasonic wont be ready till october :'( so is the sony dv so bad, or is dvcxpro worth the wait?
 
Re: dvx 100 prices moniter: blame the hdx100

Tell you the truth, if you have to shoot right now, I'd get the Canon XL2. But you've got to add a 3x wide angle and other stuff so you are pushing 6k. Sell it in October for ??? Hmm. 4500 probably.
 
Re: dvx 100 prices moniter: blame the hdx100

Actually, in my opinion, if a camera must be chosen now because of NEED (not necessarily "want"), then one of the key questions you should ask yourself is: Is threre an absolute need for native 16x9? If you can get by with just letterboxing, then get the DVX100.  This cam will be less of an investment in the short term, and if you decide to pursue the HDX when the time comes, you can either sell it, or use it as a b-roll cam... And hopefully, most accessories will be able to work on both.

point of the poll was to gauge the market for the 100 in the next few months due to changes upcoming, because a lot of people are buying, im looking for a second camera:16 x 9 is the killer even if its just for dvd, the adaptors ive used in the past have been a nightmare and the xl1s was a spectator sport i have an dvx 100 but the prospect of dvpro just has me drooling , how will mixed footage look? its drama so i think i have leeway, the whole question is for second camera really, any new camera would relegate dvx to second, im thinking of hdv camera, but not using hd mode, is that silly? ive also just been offered an e model cheaper than second hand a, is the difference worth 600 dollars!

The signal coming off the same camera head will look the same if shot in DV or DVCPRO.  The new camera will be a different look to the DVX footage.

Click to expand...

It is if you thik that the DV footage from the HDV camera will look better than the DVX100A.  It won't and you will also lose the latitude and low light performance.  Plus as you say this will be the main camera with the DVX as second.  I do think this is very silly.

it would look better itd be 16:9 full frame, which for me is the problem with dvx100, also shooting dv allows me to process the footage. lat and light performance lost from hdv to dv or new hdv to dvx100? very silly or just misunderstood? :-/
 
Re: dvx 100 prices moniter: blame the hdx100

The Sony HDV cameras have a significantly lower latitude than the DVX due to the fact that they have a LOT more pixels packed into the same sized area. If you're going to be going to DVD then it seems a bit silly to shoot interlaced HD which won't provide as nice an SD image. If you need an HD master then the Sony may very well be the way to go. Depends on your needs really.

If 16:9 is a worry you can always use the Canon XL2 or shoot in squeeze mode. Squeeze mode is the highest resolution that an interlaced display can handle without flicker. You will see a difference between this and, say, anamorphic footage, on an HD display. Again, it depends on your needs.
