Got my baby :laugh:
PAL, because there is no single AP unit in Russia for sale, not that I really need NTSC though... 3460$ 1 year official Panasonic warranty (yes, here it is 1, not 2), no DVX book :undecided no Magic Bullet, no rebate... oh well :lipsrseal
I'm loving it
Didn't have time to get everything else I wanted today, so before I do it, I wanted a little advice. Yes, I've read practically all I could find on this site, for which I'm thankful, I just wanted to make sure:
Tripod: I'm leaning towards Manfrotto 503, but there is also Vinten Pro-5DC. Anyone knows anything about the latter?
As for Manfrotto, which legs should I choose to go with the 503? Personally, I was thinking 525. These are the kits available and prices:
Manfrotto MDeVe 503/745BK 440.00
Manfrotto MDeVe 503/745MF3K 540.00
Manfrotto MDeVe 503/754 740.00
Manfrotto MDeVe 503/755BK 490.00
Manfrotto MDeVe 503/755MF3K 590.00
Manfrotto 503/525 590.00
Then there is, of course, 501 with the same choice of sticks for about 100$ less, but you all keep saying that 503 is significantly better.
Mic: Wanna get a good shotgun for now, then we'll see... The usual choice - AT897 or ME66?
And, finally I'm thinking about getting a mattebox for it, right away. We have Cavision dealer here. How is their 4x4 with rods system and rubber shade?
I'm probably forgetting something, but I can't wait to stop typing and get my hands of the DVX again :evil:
EDIT: Oh, 1 more question. I'm ordering DVXuser batteries and the book/dvd. There is an option not to ship the book and download it instead. Does it... ummm work? It seems to be a Paypal feature, not necesserely seller's. I would love to be able to download the book and the dvd instead of waiting for them to be delivered to CA, to my friends and then here.
