Either the numbers or the letters have something to do with the price. So a 170 is cheaper than a 200 I think.

If this is so it's less than a 150 and more than a 40.

Barry can you confirm? Not the price but that that's been the system in the past?
 
Per Peterson, used to shooting on film. Not really even experienced with HD, tested the 3DA1 yesterday, positive reviews.

"I didn't know if I had anything or not, just pointed it" "we came back here [to Panasonic at NAB] nervous, didn't know anything about it". "I was really impressed" "It's going to be really incredibly effective" "Really excited to apply it to what I do" "This tool alone is going to save me a lot of money" "I'm getting these amazing shots from the hip that you couldn't do with any rig." "fun, exiting tool to have, you can look at it immediately" "I think this is going to change a lot of things"

- all quotes from Per, without anything on the teleprompter.

SECAUCUS, NJ (February 12, 2010) – Panasonic Broadcast is announcing the AG-MSU10 P2 Media Storage Unit, a portable workflow tool that simplifies the process of backing-up or aggregating P2 content to a larger removable solid-state drive. Delivering fast, stable transfer of data, the compact P2 Media Storage Unit removes the need for computers or larger, more expensive appliances in the field and can quickly free up cards for additional shooting.

The MSU10 boasts a small form factor with two slots: one for a P2 card, and the second for the AG-MBX10 removable housing that encloses a standard 2.5” SATA solid-state drive (SSD). Equipped with USB 2.0 and eSATA connectors, the drive can be connected to PCs and Macs, including laptops.

“A highly portable device like the P2 Media Storage Unit becomes even more convenient with the inclusion of the removable MBX10,” said Steve Cooperman, Product Manager, P2 Systems. “The operator can quickly download P2 content, and then walk away with a featherweight SSD unit that can be powered by virtually any computer.”

The P2 Media Storage Unit features a 3.2” LCD screen and simple one-touch operation. It provides P2 thumbnail display and supports master-quality 10 bit AVC-Intra (100/50) and DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV recording formats. Content is transferred from a P2 card to the solid-state drive at four times real-time when recording in AVC-Intra 100 or DVCPRO HD. The MSU10 is battery-operated.

The AG-MSU10 will be available in October at a suggested list price of $2500. Widely-available SATA solid-state drives are not included but can purchased affordably from a variety of sources.

P2 HD all solid-state products offer high definition recording without the mechanical wear and environmental limitations of tape, hard disk, and optical disc based systems. P2 HD ensures the highest reliability, especially in challenging conditions of extreme temperature range, shock, and vibration. P2 HD products provide a significant reduction in maintenance costs, longer useful product life, and immediate access to recorded video (no need to digitize, ingest or create proxy video files) and metadata. P2 HD provides the reliability of solid-state production; the immediate connectivity to existing IT infrastructures; the speed, ease of use and portability of P2 cards; and the interoperability with leading NLE systems.
 
Re: jacks pricing question:

Um... Well... That does seem to be the pattern within a given product line. But seeing as this is a whole new line, I don't think you can say that. This isn't an hmc100. If it was an hmc100 then I think you'd be onto something but because it is a new hf100 line I think you can't guess pricing from that. I would be shocked if it was less than an hmc150!! I am guessing it'll be more like six grand because that is where the hvx and box handhelds were priced when they were introduced. But they haven't given us any clue yet.

Can anyone read what the f-stop variance is on that zoom lens on the illustration? I understand that's not what it may ship with, but I hope it's faster than the zoom that comes on the GH1 (4-5.6 blah)
