I have the money and discover is offering me 6 months NO INTEREST. Should I buy this camera? I love to film so much. I'm making a series, 12 episodes. I was sure to get the DVX100b then i bumped into this. You can actually choose the frame rate on this camera?! is this for real? I saw some of your footage, its breathtaking. I don't know what to do.
I have the money, I love film, should I get HVX?

in my humble opinion, if the company is charging less than 5500 for the hvx, don't even bother. especially 4200? You should just buy from bhphotovideo.com at least you know you're gonna get the product. You get what you pay for, and sometimes you don't even get that. Why take a chance? 4200 or 5500 is a lot of money either way. That's my .25/cent

you'll find there are a lot of other elements necessary to making a film than the camera. i suggest starting smaller so you have room for audio, lights, tripod, etc. also the cost of hi-def will domino through your editing equipment. stick around and learn before taking such a plunge. best of luck.

Don't buy it from Zoommania (what kind of name is that?) As Blaine pointed out there's no way they are selling the entire HVX package for under $5000. It is a bait and switch operation. They will charge you extra for the battery, lens cap, strap, manual, box, styrofoam, etc.
Buyer be scared.

Belive me I know how much you want that to be true but ...
... it would behoove one, however, to listen to people with thousands of posts and no ulterior motives

"[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Another bait-and-switch business. The camera they ship is legit and not grey market, but they require you to purchase a ridiculously over-priced kit with your order. If you call later to dispute, they say order has already shipped (when it has not). Avoid this company. If the price is too good to be true, that's because it is. By the time you add the cost of the kit, you'll spend more than at a reputable vendor like B&H or Adorama."
There are some reviews on the second link that refute the above, but where there is smoke there is fire I say.
Buy from an authorized Panny Dealer, you will read no such reports on B&H, EVS, or ABEL.
I bought on Ebay from a seller with lots of sells, who had been a member for several years, who had a 100% positive rating.
Much better off holding out for that if you are tight on cash than doing one of these switch scam shops.
