I have to confirm this info at the panny booth when the expo floor opens but according to a panny presenter p2 card prices are as follows:

4 gig - discontinued
8 gig - about 600
16 gig - about 900
32 gig - about 1300 (when they come out)

this seems amazing to me so we will see if it is true
 
Sweet, much better prices. The 8gb $600 card is already available on BandH.

Though I think someone needs to come out with a device which I can just pop 50$ 4 gb flash cards onto.
 
It's $679 at B&H, not $600. If the price is going to lower even more to $600 when the 16gb cards come in and if they do come in at $900 that's going to be incredible!
 
This will certainly help even more people jump on the HVX bandwagon! 8GB for ~$1200 was getting pretty ridiculous; now it's a lot more palatable.
 
Some crazy prices on this gear, I'm gonna buy a ton of 4 gig cards, I actually like having to dump the 4 gig's better than the 8 gigs. It lets me monitor the footage in smaller chunks when I'm shooting and if a problem comes up I havent shot too much to go back.
 
4's are discontinued. 8's dropped to $700 MSRP. 16's are $900 MSRP. Street price on both will likely be a little bit lower, but not a lot lower, apparently margins are very tight.

I thought they said $1800 on the 32GB cards though. They're only seven months away! They said 32GB cards in November.
 
so the hvx needs an update to handle the 16GB (is that cause they use 4 x 4GB sdhc)
will they add any other new features, the case would stay the same, but they could add more gamma and framerate modes couldn't they?
 
They shouldn't retire the 4gb card production wise they should pack one with every hvx from here on out and just not sell retail, that'd be awesome.
 
This is the roadmap w/prices, the 4gb is now phased out (see how the dashed line stops). :)

I want me some 16gb P2 action.

Not all notebooks have them. A lot of them are moving to expresscard. There are several pc's that have both. Mac moved to expresscard. There is an expresscard --> PCMCIA adapter though, for those who only have expresscard.
 
I doubt Sony's product had any influence on it; I'd say it's more likely the influence of Fox, Australia's ABC, India's NDTV, Raycom, Media General, Cox, and all the other mass adopters of P2. These organizations are using thousands and thousands of P2 products, and these are big massive organizations. It's not just us individual users, it's networks and groups of stations, all buying these cards and all demanding lower prices.

Plus, apparently Hoodman really is going to produce a cheap knockoff P2 card! It can only get faster, better, and cheaper for the end users.

8 gig - about 600

That's a huge drop from last time I checked. Because I'm lazy, what's the ballpark price for the readers?
