Hpx300 rumors

Actually, that's about the price I assume the HPX300 will come in at, if not more. I'd be surprised if it's any less.

And, yes, the JVC actually looks like an interesting alternative. I might be the only one but I've always thought the HD250 footage looked quite nice. Will be nice to see some footages from that.

What's all that hoopla about new "CCD" technology? Either way, go JVC. Gonna be over at Belair camera checking one out asap, I'm sure they'll have 'em if Samy's doesn't.
 
Well,
If panny does announce the 300 tomorrow, I wonder how long it would be before you can get one in your hands? Also, was it mentioned that it would be a fixed lens or interchangeable.
 
I'm actually wondering if this release of the HPX300 will lower prices of say an HPX170? I know it isn't AVC-Intra, but hey, an HPX170 in the $4k range is very tempting.
 
You can get an HPX170 in the 4K range right now. =D hint hint

Anyway, the REAL hope is that they offer the HPX300 as a body only at a lower price, cards included. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Panasonic acquire JVC? It'd be friggin' awesome if the HPX300 was for immediate release.

No, I'm not gear lusting... Honest.

Since the '50's Matsushita (Panasonic) has held a majority stake in JVC, which they sold off over the last 2-3 years. Since Oct of '08 JVC has been merged with Kenwood, and is no longer associated with Panasonic.

You're wrong! :)

Both Panasonic and JVC used to be subsidiaries of Matsushita Electric Industrial Company. But Matsushita spun off JVC in October 2008, and it merged with Kenwood Electronics, to form JVC Kenwood Holdings. At the same time, Matsushita changed its name to Panasonic. So technically, Panasonic never owned JVC.

That HM700 looks like a nice camera. Will have to see how the picture looks.

You're late! Just had to rib ya.

TY for the correction.
 
Okay Kholi, I will be your sponsor for Gearhead-aholics anonymous. You can make it through this, just do it one day at a time. When you see those new pictures of the 300's shiny goodness, you will weaken and feel the need to take out your credit card. Call me, I'm there for you. Keep telling yourself, "I have a RED, I have a RED..."

Hi,

My name is Chip, I'm not allowed to make a post about the hpx 300 until the facts come out.

I can still drink & smoke for the record. :beer::Drogar-Smoke(DBG):
 
Yes Chip, I think we have done enough baseless hypothesizing about a camera that may or may not even exist until tomorrow morning. ;-)

G'night!

All you had to say was go hang out on the Scarlet thread.

Ok, smoking break is over, back to the meeting.
