where can I get this camera the quickest?

I have a spot reserved with EVS and want to very much do my business with them. I love those guys, but I have some major productions coming up quickly and I need this camera! There is nothing the guys at EVS can do, they are at the mercy of Panisonic, but I have several people around me who have already received their camera and did not wait as long as I have.

Does anyone know where I might find a camera and have it in my hands the quickest?

I can rent you one from the middle of March on.

Or you can call:

VTP Corporate Headquarters:
2721 West Magnolia Boulevard
Burbank, CA 91505
CALL: 1-800 422-2444 or (818) 566-9898
FAX: (818) 566-8989

As of Thursday, they had them in stock, but you had to buy a package deal I believe.


Professional Video Supply, Inc.
9201 Cody
Overland Park, Kansas 66214
Phone: (913) 492-1787
Fax: (913) 859-0787

These people had 7 in as of Thursday. No Cards.
 
Jason, sorry I can't help you with your camera but I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed the music videos on your website.

Really good work.

Getting the cam quickly is something that will require calling around. I'd start with the Panny dealer locator under the "Find a Dealer" link here. At the popup window, choose AG-HVX200 on the pulldown menu and then enter your ZIP. Start with the smallest dealers first. They won't always have the best prices, but in general they have the shortest wait lists. Good luck!
 
eppdidit,

I was on the EVS list in the hundreds but just ordered from Roscor in Chicago. They should be getting in a good sized shipment soon and their list isn't that long right now.

Call 847 299 8080 EXT 1370 for Jim Surin

HVX for $5,350 4 gig P2 at $625

Their list is probably growing but I doubt it's as high as the EVS list.

Jan,

There's nothing to be sorry about. There have been a number of discussions about the MACK extended warranty. I've used MACK warranies in the past and have been more than satisfied. Here's a link to their site in case you aren't familiar with their products and services: http://www.mackcam.com

I understand that Panasonic and other manufacturers are trying to keep their sales territories separate. But, the information that's available online make it perfectly resonable to purchase gray market goods which are given a bad wrap only by those who seem to be losing out. :costumed-smiley-047
 
HI,

I really hate to rain on the parade of thinking that all service is created equal, but when it comes to a new product, like the HVX, there is a number of people that have been trained to service it. So far all of these people only work for Panasonic. Why? Because we want to know the problems first and what the needed response is.

You can make your bets on a Mack warranty, but I wouldn't.


Best,

jan

MACK warranty

I just got off of the phone with a rep. at Mack Warranty. The women I spoke with said that they have an account with Panasonic, and the other major manufacturers, and that they use Panasonic Authorized Service Centers in the United States for all service and warranty repairs. If your camera is covered under mack warranty, you are asked to take the camera to the respectable manufacturer's local service center to get an estimate which Mack will pay.

So, looks like the guys at Panasonic will be working on the camera after all.
 
Regarding the original question "where can I get this camera the quickest" -- I just received a PM from an authorized dealer in Maryland who has five sitting in stock right now, first come first-served. I wrote back asking for details (store name, web address, phone # etc). But if you call around for dealers in Maryland you may find it before I get a chance to respond.

Anyway, call around. They're out there, I'm sure other stores have similar circumstances.
 
Yup. It's wpsworld.com
