HPX170 - A Second Look

BrianMurphy said:
Canadian Info: Don Zahara from Panasonic Canada just called me back to let me know that Canadian order will be shipping soon and before the end of Oct. Though he also said that everybody (the world) gets them at the same time??? There will be a limited number of the new cameras on the first release (he said this was due to world wide demand) and that by the end of Nov. all would be up to speed stockwise. He also mentioned that the camera would be sold WITHOUT a P2 card in Canada but that would be reflected in a lower price that if with the camera. Panasonic Canada feels that the buyer should decide what size P2 card they need and buy it. He told me the 64 gig cards would be out in early 2009. Sadly Barry Green's book will also not be part of the package. The Panasonic 5 year guarantee will be. He said the suggested retail for the 16gig card was $1000.00 but dealers could sell for less.

Even though our dollar is in the toilet, when buying video gear, I feel very lucky to be an American. It seems that buyers in most of the rest of the world rarely get as good of a deal as we do here.

well for the first time in europe we've got something from panasonic that is optional for you: pal/ntsc HPX ..... that's a big step ^^
 
Are we sure this is really the case or is the brochure not correct and maybe it is only an option you have to pay for !

No, the HPX171 comes switchable, well thats what my panny rep told me.

and yes i dont live in Europe, however i've been told i can get a 171 through panny if i want switchability.

It doesnt sound like they will be upgrading the 172s (aus/nz version) but then again, that will probably change.
 
Took a look at the great review Adam Wilt did of the 170, and is it just me, or does the production model HPX look much better than the mock-up/prototype? (which looked a little too skinnyish)
 
My HPX170 has offcially shipped out to me as of TODAY! The fine people at UPS just informed me via email. :thumbsup:
