Peter Jefferson · November 7th, 2003, 04:27 AM

i saw a post somewhere round here wher apparently Pana were looking at doing an update whereby the DVX Progressive modes run auto....

any thoughts or news on this?

Frank Granovski · November 7th, 2003, 05:16 AM

Don't know. I keep checking Pana's Japanese site.

Rumors are true according to the source who first started the buzz. Saw this over on the 2-pop AG-DVX100 forums: he was able to confirm this from a Panasonic rep. Also in the works is another version of the DVC80 sometime 2004.

Of course I'm waiting like everyone else to get verification straight from Panasonic - perhaps Jan could let us know?

Frank Granovski · November 7th, 2003, 03:36 PM

If you find out from Jan, let us know. And while you're at it, ask her if there's a GS100 coming.

Chris Hurd · November 9th, 2003, 01:29 AM

The DVX100 is not Jan's product. She handles the heavy iron, primarily the VariCam and SDX900. The DVX and the the 80 belong to Steve Golub.

Oh boy... we already want more :)

Expandore has some information on the AG-DVX100A:

Jeff Donald · November 15th, 2003, 05:57 PM

The date on that site, now says available end of January 2004.

Frank Granovski · November 15th, 2003, 06:20 PM

I would almost bet that the "A" just stands for Australia, and that region of the world. My Panasonic NV-MX300 is actually a NV-MX300A - because it's from Australia. The ones sold in Europe have "E" after the MX300.

Nick Medrano · November 15th, 2003, 06:43 PM

Well, the Panasonic DVX-100P stands for "Panasonic".

Peter Jefferson · November 16th, 2003, 02:32 AM

hmm.. look like the detail levels are also tweaked with a medium setting (thin, med, thick)

i also see theyve improved the Zoom Focus issue :)

anyone know if this will be a free update for existing owners??

Jeff Donald · November 16th, 2003, 06:14 AM

This is a rumored, new model, not a firmware update. Get your checkbook ready.

Free? I seriously doubt it. But an upgrade kit would be a great option, as I doubt Pany expects current DVX100 users to run out and sell their cams on the first occation, and go out to grab the new A model. Realistically, offering an upgrade kit would strenghten their current user base and avoid any potential exodus to the competition if they come out with something new.
