Just speculating...

Having had the HVX200 pretty much since it was launched I was thinking the other day about when I would be upgrading.

Is there any general consensus as to when the HVX will be upgraded? I've seen the HPX and it looks good with a host of improvement i.e. a 'proper' firewire connection ;) but in too many respects it would be a retrograde step over the HVX.

care to develop on the "retrograde step" bit? I'm looking at one of those myself...
 
I´ve debated this the last weeks, because I really like the sharp look of the EX1, but have decided (on a personal basis) that since my clients are happy with the HVXs picture, I´m happy too:)

The nerd in me always wants the newest and hottest stuff, but from a business point of view a new investment is only justified if it is needed to keep your customers happy or to attract new ones, you can´t get with your "old stuff".
The HVX already gave me better SD and HD when needed, all with great image quality, my next cam really must be a MAJOR improvement to the HVX.
I rather invest in light and sound or postpro stuff right now and keep my fingers crossed for the "next breakthrough" (maybe a 1/2" or 2/3" full raster 1080 camera with SD option, with AVCHDintra recording at 50mbs...:beer:)

All the best,

Spart
 
The only features that appear to missing from the HPX170 is the tape mechanism, and a different lens.

What other things do you see as missing?
 
Yeah, not sure at all what would be "retrograde" about it, except that it's smaller. (And I think smaller is nice.)
