First picture!!!

Hey Zig,

I don't see it as a threat. I see confusion and I am trying to help people understand technology. Just like those poor guys that answered my questions so many years ago. I don't do church work but I do "Pay it forward." I spend time just like my mentors spent time with me, I spend time with you.

Unless you would prefer to continue in your misunderstandings, just let me know, I won't post.

Best,

Jan

hey, continue posting jan! you're an important asset to the dvx/hdx community...betcha can't wait for the announcement to end all the confusion...looking forward to the panasonic vip gig at nab...=)
 
Jan, I definitely do not want you to take your toys and go home. I have enjoyed every single post you have ever made.

Usually clarity comes when someone actually releases a product; this forum likes to jump the gun with speculation.

I imagine that's why we like it here.
 
I hope all companies see each others products as threats because we the consumers win, when we get free market competition and the resulting better widget. We also see each other as rival film makers and it only makes us get better or drop out.

Jan is doing an exceptoinal job here communicating with us. I doubt there's anything in her employment contract that states she must be on-line answering Q&A from around the world. Hopefully panasonic listens to her and she is conveying our thoughts and aspiriations to the Pana designers. It's really a fairly simple task to understand what film makers want and design it. Let's hope they're serious and not game players.

The JVC folks seem to be listening, it looks like they even provided a place for rods so we can use matte boxes...could you imagine the new Pana being even better...and with out the MPEG stuff? I think we might be sitting on an excellent outcome.

We've spelled it out over & over for these companies willing to listen. Let's see what happens.

Jan keep helping us & pushing the Pana big boys...this is important work in the history of cinema because eventually the monopoly held by 35mm production will tumble and then the world's movie consumer will have even more choice.
 
I am so stoked on my DVX100 and will use this to the last; experience will determine my need to for upgrade. What excites me is that I know when I am going to move on to bigger/better my choices will undoubtedly be available and at a cost I can live with (Under
$5000.00). Right now it seems thr manufacturers are all going in various directions; when I'm ready I hope it has been figured what he 'best' camera and format will be for the indiependent filmmaker.

God, I'd hate to be inthe market for a camera this year

Do not worry, boo. There will be new confusion, as there is confusion all the time.

Once I have heard, that Jarred had been the man in the background, who pulled the strings regarding Jan's employment contract...

You know, it looks nice....but for personal work I think I might prefer the Sony/Panny form factor. But Jan is spending quite a bit of time "clarifying" JVC features so they must see it as a threat.

As a product manager, it's imperative to know the competition. I'm glad to see that Jan's well on it.
 
I absolutely love the look of that new JVC. It has one huge problem, as with the XL series, there is no weight in the back to counter-balance the cam. Perhaps there will be some sort of bracket system?

Anyhow! I can wait to see the HDX too. Same time next month, we will see the light! :engel017:
 
..id assume that concerning JVC and Panny.. that JVC always knows what Panny is doing and visa versa. that way they dont step on eachothers toes too much being divsions of the same corporation. i dont think its coincidence that they will be releasing closely priced cameras which concentrate on different marketing strengths at about the same time. but just a guess.. i could be very wrong...
 
..well whats important to me is that given the specs there are at this time and the level of confidence that Jan has in her new product im willing to put myself in panny's corner. why? .. well i may not know jan very well personally, but i do know that she is an intelligent individual that knows the industry, and about knows her products, and the industry trends and changes. i know that she listens to us and treis to make us happy with great service and great products. so when Jan comes accross as , and says that she is very confident in her new camera as being the hottest thing out there.. well, i cant help but realize that shes likely packing one big punch with the thing to take such a stand behind it.

..if i was a bettin' man id reckon that shes been dealt a pretty good hand. and from the smile on her face id be shinooked if it was just a bluff.
 
Jan's been more than fair in giving us DVXers support, deals and as much information as she can on products, so, she has my full support and admiration. I do hope on the new HDX that there is lens swap capabilities; that's one of the biggest liabilities of the DVX. To see JVC come out with an obviously sweet looking cam with some nice features just suggest the direction small/light cams are going in. I think Panasonic is behind the eight ball on this. I'm looking forward to the outings at NAB!
 
I think it's pretty clear that the new HDX will not have changeable lenses. As that would be cool, I think the fact that Panasonic is offering higher resolution with better color space more than makes up for it. Let's not forget P2 technology. Who are we kidding? We all know the future is tapeless. Panasonic is already ahead of the game with this.
 
it's just you! :laugh:

I wonder if that lens will have the same characteristics of a 1/2" or 2/3" pro lens, or if it's just a cheap imitation?
