If you consider the cost of recording memory to be part of the initial investment in a functional solid-state camera setup, then the difference between using P2 and SD cards can be dramatic. On that basis the HMC150 should be an option worth considering for any work involving continuous shooting, as opposed to short film or news takes. There will likely be a downside with the low-resolution sensor producing soft images compared to sharper HD cameras, but that hasn't seemed to bother those earning money using the HVX200. Another issue may be effective editing workflows for the heavily compressed AVCHD footage, so be aware of options there before investing in the camera.
All things considered the HMC150 is likely to be a successful product, and will show why affordable alternatives to P2 are desirable for many purposes.
