Re: my Panasonic HPX3000 P2 HD camera white paper

Thanks a lot for putting this together, Joe! I've been very very interested in the HPX3000 because I like P2 (especially once the 64GB cards start shipping), and I LOVE the idea of a 2/3", 2.2MP imager on a shoulder-mount body, recording 10bit 4:2:2 video. .

Except for not being able to do slow motion, this camera seems to have everything, and for a pretty reasonable price. I'm not so enamored of the RED--for broadcast, a 4K imager isn't that useful, and the RED is heavier and much harder to operate as a one or two-man crew.

ANYWAY....I'm surprised to hear that Panasonic has sold only 100 or so of these cameras. Does that strike people as an unusually low number? Perhaps the sales rep is mistaken, or maybe the HPX3000 is having a hard time finding its niche. For dramatic and commercial production, people are very aware of the RED, and new Sony cameras. And for reality tv/news/documentaries, the 3000 is definitely on the pricey side of cameras these days.
