For Sale: Asking $2150 OBO.

Panasonic HVX-200 with Less than 50 hours of operation and less than 5 hours of tape operation. The camera is in excellent condition and I can take high res close up pics if needed. I purchased the camera just over two years ago and just barely started using it when I switched to doing more photography on my Canon 7D. I have all original cables, remotes, accessories, and owner's manuals in brand new condition.

I am selling everything you see in the photo as one bundle.

This includes:
1x16 GB P2 Card
1x8 GB P2 Card
2xPanasonic Lithium Ion Battery
1xLenmar LIP540 Battery
1xP2 DuelSystems ExpressCard Adapter
1xPorta Brace Camera Bag
1xManfrotto 3021BPro Tripod with 501 Fluid Head
[SOLD] 1xRode NTG-2 Video Shotgun Mic with Windscreen and Suspension Attachment
1xHVX Book from Barry Green

And anything else you see in the picture that I failed to mention...

I'm selling everything you see in the picture for $2150 OBO and hoping to get a quick sale. I'll only do paypal with verified addresses and I'll pick up the shipping. I'm trying this forum for two weeks and then this setup goes on eBay at a higher price.

I may be interested, but I'm kinda wondering about the quality differences between this camera, and the HMC150...??? Also, is this the "A" model??
Can you just PM me with the differences(noob here), and also what is the max quality you can record on the tape, Vs P2 cards. Also, can this camera accept a Firestore HD for storage??

Thanks.
 
I'm going to respond here so that if I get anything inaccurate, other members can chime in. I believe the primary difference between the HVX200 and the HVX200A is the low light performance. The HVX 200A performs better in low light, but unless you plan to shoot primarily in low light, i don't think you'll notice too much difference... Here's an actual comparison by one of the members of this board: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthrea...s-HVX200a-a-side-by-side-low-light-comparison

I shot this video with my HVX200 and low light performance was pretty sweet to me. http://www.vimeo.com/2364654

I've never done a comparison with the HMC150, but I believe that's the SD card version of this camera in a slightly smaller body.. I think you'll find it's a matter of quality codec vs convenience of the SD card format.

I've never used the Firestore HD, so I have no idea what it does. Hope that helps.
 
Thanks, I'm going to do a bit more research to see what I can find on my own as well.
As of right now, I'm leaning towards the HMC just because of the cost of the P2 media.
 
Here's a useful comparison... http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=38207

Main difference I see is that the HVX200 is 4:2:2 colorspace while the HMC150 is 4:2:0. Same optics, different compression.
Also, the HVX200 has variable frame rate (for under and over cranking) that you can adjust in camera instead of having to do that stuff in post.

If you watch my wake boarding video, I do a lot of both (under and over cranking) and you can see that it's a pretty nifty feature to have.
