Radically Less Expensive p2 Cards Announced

My $2300 64GB P2 card arrived to me on Friday, April 17th. On Sunday, April 19th, I found out about the "E" series. I'm not devastated, but I'm a bit torn on what to do. For now, it's business as usual.

For non-personal reasons, I think the "E" series makes great business sense for Panasonic and the customers. The "5-year limit" is really a non-issue, at least nothing I'm worried about or think anyone should be worried about.

Anyway, that Sonnet Quio is pretty cool! :thumbsup:

For my plans, it will be perfect with my future laptop and eSATA drives.
 
This is great news.

Now I can buy the 32 Gig card and not feel guilty

Panasonic has made such a great move tat now more people will look at the HVX and the HPX as an affordable tool
 
p2 cards are still too much in my opinion.. especially with whats going on in the market now.. i purchased an hvx200 back in the day and feel like an idiot now.. since the hvx200a came out with better low light capabilities.. and such a long time for the p2 card to come down in price.. there is just noo excuse for such prices it goes against the whole technology gets cheaper quickly as time goes by.. even if ur making loads of money from videowork.. its just unrealistic.. the result.. im still shooting on tape.. i got a 16gb card about a year ago.. and its really enough to do any professional gigs with.. i just think panasonic should have considered us videoguys who dont make 10 grand a month from our work...

P2 cards have gone from $275 per gigabyte in 2005, to $11 per gigabyte today. I think your statement is not an accurate representation, they clearly have come down in price dramatically over time.
