You'll probably find getting an xbox360 before christmas easier than finding an HVX. LOL.

yes.. if your not on the pre-order list your kinda SOL.
 
Hey, if I were to use P2 cards, I would have to record in HD, right? Or does that have an option for SD as well?

I suppose it doesn't really matter cuz you can convert to SD in editing, but I was just curious.
 
No, P2 can record any format, so if you choose to record DV on the P2 cards you'd actually get a much longer runtime out of them. Two 8gb cards would give you 64 minutes of DV.
 
or more precisely.. DVCpro 25 or 50... not to sure about the DV onto P2 thing there Papa Smurf Barry. However, you can go from HD on the P2 card to a SD full DV proxy to tape.
 
Has there been any reason to expect that DV wouldn't record on the P2 card?

(and, for NTSC users, it's an irrelevant question anyway as DV and DVCPRO25 would be bit-for-bit identical on the P2 card anyway... but for PAL users it would make a difference)...
 
i'm not saying i want to be the first on my block to have one...I actually am looing more around march.....to get the hvx....is that possible???????
 
Yuck! to new mic/speaker

Yuck! to new mic/speaker

Hi just to say I saw the updated photo of hvx200 and that new round speaker or microphone or air intake ...? on the viewfinder tube - I think it's horrible looking!
The camera designers should shoot (and I mean with bullets) whichever engineer shoved that thing on in such a primitive way.
They need to either make it fit aesthetically and modernly in place or get rid of it! The rest of the camera looks so sweet and that just looks ... pre video, like something on a childs cheap plastic toy, oh I hope it's just a pre production effort and will look stylish when delivered for real.
What is it anyway?

:thumbsup: Jarred !
Great article and the other article on the p2 cards is showing some clear light into the fututre of "independent image aquisition".
Although I will keep my dvx100a for documentary work ,
I am planning to purchase the HVX in march -April 2006 , Any ideas from you or Pansonic contacts about supply of these cameras in that time frame ??
Thanks
Bruce :thumbup:
