Just thought I'd see who is buying from where... at what price.. and if there's anyone throwing in anything to sweeten the deal. I want to buy one in November... It's a sweet looking camera and at a great price.
 
I bought it in England (HMC151E) in creative video (still not recieved yet, they say next week...)
for 3440€ (msrp 3500+VAT), they had it in special so I decided to get it now.
 
We have been taking orders with this deal.

With this deal, you get to choose between a free 4GB P2 Card and free cover lens.

First shipment isn't in just yet but I think that it is sold out.

*EDIT* 4GB SD Card, NOT P2 card. Sorry, I'm not that nice. :)

Do you know if it's pal/ntsc switchable ?

I don't know, I'll have to wait till it arrives, cause you can't find any info (manuals of the hmc151e) on the net, I suppose that they'll reveal that information this coming week (the official launching week).
 
I don't think it's switchable.. the 170 can be done at Panny at an upgrade price. Would be nice to see if they make that as an option though...


Thanks all and I highly recommend the Transcend SD cards. I use them in my SD9 camera and they are awesome. You can get the series 6- 8 gig cards for 30 bucks and the 16 gig ones for 140 or so. Personally I'm so used to the P2 run times that gettting 40 minutes on an 8 gig card is like heaven.


cheers all
 
Ohhh wow... thanks Matt. They have come down in price a lot then since I bought mine about 4 or 5 months ago. That's awesome! I wonder how much the 32 gigs are going for now?


That's 90 minutes of run-time at full rez.... for 40 bucks! I love the HVX and love P2, but the prices on the media just sucks..


At this price, you could buy 10 of them, have it be 1/3 the price of the 32 gig P2, and shoot for 15 hours instead of 80 minutes or so.

The transcend SDHC cards can be pretty unreliable. I dont mind spending extra few dollars for the security of my footage.

I ordered mine from AValive and they listed at $3495 but I clicked the "Click for better price" link and they e-mailed me $3195 - good for 48 hours. It took me less than 2 minutes. New - in box - never opened - USA warranty...

I got the camera only with no extras at that price but now they are shipping with 8gig [or maybe 16] cards for $3495 before the better price link. I did order a mic and I already have some class 6 cards.

I use to deal with B&H but AValive does not add sales tax outside of N.C. and B&H adds sales tax.

This is my first time buying from AV but everything seem very good.
Next week is when I should receive my camera.
 
Is there really that much of a differece in the 150 and the HVX200? Besides the fact that it is all P2?

I've shot tons of video with the transcend and never had a problem. They have great feedback online too.. check 'em out.

I did. Some people said that it failed after a couple of uses. Some said it worked well. You must have one of the good ones :Drogar-Dum(DBG):

Anyone wanting a substantially lower price from an excellent vendor can PM me for a referral.

I ordered the shooter's pack from AVAlive. No idea when they are arriving though. Anyone who ordered a shooter's pack from any retailer received it yet, or heard any updates?
