When the 64 gig cards come out, will we get 32 gig cards with camera?

[Green Hornet]

Just wondering if the release of the 64 gig cards, allow us to get:

1. Lower price on the HPX170 (since the 16 gig card will go down a few hundred dollars).

2. HPX170 come with a 32 gig card, or two 16 gig cards.

3. Do noting to the price of the HPX170 and HVX200a.

I very much doubt it.

Ask Jan,

I think it was her idea to put the 16 gig cards with the hvx for the US market.

I don't see the prices dropping yet for the cards or the cameras. Give it 6 months to a year.

I was just at the DV Expo here in Los Angeles, speaking with the Panasonic reps at their
booth. I learned a couple of interesting bits of news. According to them, the 64 gig cards
won't be available until December of this year. Also they are re-introducing the 8 gig cards
back onto the market.

I thought Jan said they ended up cancelling the 8 gig cards that they were going to bring back?

 

[CW-35]

wow, that's a surprise - a release date delay.

Jan said in one of the NAB videos that they were going to bring the 8GB P2 cards back but that was back in April. Who knows by now?

I was told last week that the 64gig is coming in a month. I also saw a 64gig card and I got a chance to put it in my HPX170 for a minute to test it.

Evidently you were able to resist the temptation to bolt out the door with it : )

LOL, I was surrounded by a few Panasonic reps including Jan....they were not gonna let it go without a fight
