Sony NX30 and PJ790V

Rob Cantwell · March 2nd, 2013, 09:34 PM

I was on the lookout for a B cam to go with my NX 5. I originally had a Sony HXR-MC2000 as a B cam but wasn't happy with it.
I looked at the NX30, couldn't see any prices for it in Ireland, but the prices in the UK were in the region of $2427 (€1864) or so.
In the US, it was actually dearer for a PAL version coming in at $2471 (€1898)
My partner is in NY at present and she will be making a purchase for me, so after looking at the finances etc.
i concluded that the PJ760 (PAL version) seems to tick most of the boxes and beats any of the CX700 series cams here with a price of $1283 (€985). The price difference is pretty big at a little over $1700 (€900).
In Ireland one vender has a CX700 for $1171 (€1000)
