I just went to the camera shop and looked at the 170 and the 200A. $4800 for the 170. $5K+ for the 200A.
Anyone have a 170? _________________ Wakeskating

For you and the site I would go with the 170. I went with the 200 mostly because some of the stuff I shoot has to go out to tape for work. _________________ My Demo Reel

I think I am going to rent that camera for the weekend..
my next thing is I like to support local shops when possible. I have found the camera from $4K-$5199. I can get it local for $4,800 no tax so if they provide some support and edit help I think it is worth it for the assistance.
I have bought from B&H in the past. Has anyone bought local on their equipment or was the price just out of range? _________________ Wakeskating

if you're going to buy a high-end camera, please make sure you buy it from a reputable shop. you know you're not getting grey-market, non-usa stuff. not saying that the ebay link is, but you never know. _________________ my demo reel

Another cam you should look into would be the Panasonic HMC150. About the same as the HVX but shoots to smaller and cheaper cards _________________ My Demo Reel

I saw that camera at Nationals. I think the CWB crew is using one of those for some of the footage they are taking. _________________ Wakeskating

Here is my best local deal on a HPX170.
16g card, camera and other standard equipment.
$4599.99
$500 mail in rebate
5 year warranty from panasonic
No tax
I have found them here and there for a few hundred cheaper but they are always doing something to get it down. Pulling the card. not offering the rebate etc etc. These guys have a full studio, edit rooms($50 hour) and all kinds of other stuff. I am going to go local on the camera. The company is Omegabroadcast.com out of Austin. _________________ Wakeskating

just wondering what do u want to shoot with the hvx? 4599.00 dollars to shoot web videos is a bit crazy.
Only reason I bought the HVX cause i shoot other industry video where the type of camera you have matters sadly.
there are so many cameras out there that shoot amazing quality for a quater of the price. Just saying.
If you see a 4599 dollar camera paying for itself then defiantly do it. Ive had my hvx200 and its already payed for itself and more. _________________ www.alliancewake.com |

Since we also own boardflix I have talked to a few others about actually making a regional wake title in the future. The camera will be used for that also. I might not get a payoff in the first season but it will pay for itself down the road...hopefully.. _________________ Wakeskating

flixmaster, ya in the end its your money and your decision. The hvx is the creme of the crop and is an amazing camera. I have soaked my totally drenched it numerous times. Ive dropped it. and more. Its a beast _________________ www.alliancewake.com |

Just picked it up today. Having Omega broadcast right down the street from Boardstop was just way to tempting. Driving past it a few times a week just caused me to have the itch to buy it. I have not even plugged it in but it is sitting on my desk. _________________ Wakeskating
