Who has best price on hmc150?

Well, I bought 2 hmc150's and I got them for 3200 each. But I think thats because I bought 2. Bulk price I guess because everywhere I would contact would give me the 3500 price then when I told them I was buying 2 they dropped it to 3200...
 
Contact vendors for a quote, ask them to quote you any other accessories you might be buying too. You will get a large discount for buying everything from a single vendor with the exception of the Panasonic SD cards. Do not buy these they are way too expensive, I use a Transcend 16GB class 6 and have no problems or you can go with Sandisk, they did invent the media after all.
 
B and H has a great price and I like how prompt they are.. how you can reach people right away and just their service has always been awesome.


That being said, AVsupply out of San Diego... the people I bought my HVX from, have the best price I've seen on batteries. Talk to Barbera. She has the big batteries for 140 or so... and that's about 20 bucks less than anywhere else I've seen.


if they had it in stock I probably would have bought the HMC150 from Barb... she really was great to a lot of HVX people...

I bought my HMC150 from B&H last week for $3400 because I didn't have to pay for tax, then I found out that Adorama and J&R had it for $100 less. So I called B&H to price match and they made the price adjustment! Way to go B&H. But J&R does offer free shipping.

I ordered two batteries from them based on your recommendation. Barb is great. Very very friendly and willing to help. They are currently out of stock, but they'll receive a shipment this Friday (Dec. 12, 2008). They told me my batteries will come to me Monday or Tuesday.
 
Nice. Barb is very cool and treats us dvxuser users with respect. I'm going to get the batteries from here as they do seem a bit cheaper.

People!!!

Do do have to pay tax unless you live in a state, such as Oregon, which as no sales tax.

There are few.

You have to pay a use tax. It isn't worth the savings of a couple of hundred dollars to go through an audit.

Just a heads up.
 
Is AVSupply an authorized dealer? I have not seen them on the official list on this board. They quoted me $3400 for the camera and $140 for the batteries.

Thanks David :)
Clearly I didn't know that.
 
I have heard some good things about a DVXUser advertiser, Andrew at Spec Comm sent an answer to some questions I had with the HMC-150 as follows:


I think that you are making a great choice.

With the efficiency of the AVCCAM codec and the way that it samples the frames within the GOP, I think that it will out perform HDV any many different levels, especially with motion.

I think that you will be happier with Vegas 8 rather than going with Pinnacle. I'm not very familiar with either though so you may want to ask the Vegas Guru, Barry Green on that one. I'm an Edius fan boy.

The LCD does flip! So bring on the 35mm adapters!

I can get you the HMC150 for $3395 with your choice of a free 4GB card or a Coverlens system. See our store ad for details.

I know a lot of us are on the fence about buying this awesome little cam. Just wondering if anyone knows the best price right now since it's the holiday season?
 
The best price from a Panasonic dealer is usually MAP or about $3400.

Call for a possible lower price.

Only buy authorized.

And the prices haven't dropped because of the holidays.
 
This seems like a sound strategy for some:

Buy the extra 5800 battery from B&H 174.00 (cheapest I could find that had it in stock). Buy a UV filter from ebay cheap. I bought 2 Panasonic 16gb sdhc cards from thetwistergroup for like $80 each. I wil buy the 16gb sdhc Trascends on newegg for under $30 for the rest of my cards.
Got Panasonic SDHC card reader on ebay for 30 free s/h

that's all you'll need for this camera. I can't wait to test it at the MX track!

Merry Christmas to all of you!

SDHC readers sell for 99c, 30 bux is an rip off. Search good around ebay :) And you don't NEED it to be Panasonic, it's just a memory card reader.
