[quote author=alpi69 link=board=HDV;num=1108413549;start=0#13 date=02/14/05 at 22:54:31]i agree there is only one option: buy what you need when you need it. maybe the DVX goes down a little, but not much.
i guess the HDX will be around 6000 + new deck + new monitors + a huge RAID/PC + a P2 + + + + plus.....i would say another 6000 which ends up at 12000.[/quote]
Agree with that totally. It's a very stategic game/business from a seller and a consumers perspective... especially when the market seems to change about every 3 months... and now talks of 2160 HD gear from Sony in new higher end HDcams?!! ??? it doesn't end... I was gone on holidays for a weeks and it's crazy.. there is even a new rumor thread on the main page. :
It's definately an expensive game to play. Going HD (consumer HDV or potentially new DVCPRO option) is much more than just the cam. New monitors, more hard drive space, new compatible gear... like stated above the cost adds up pretty fast. While it's great that all the stuff seems "cheaper", in it's "cheapness" all of a sudden it almost becomes a justified requirement depending on your application... ho hum... as the world turns....
(I was just using my parents P100 computer yesterday reliving the 90's... 3000 dollars in 1996... now $50's on ebay....
... technology is a frightning investment)
