Hi Peter,

Got mine from Lemac in Syd.

But I ordered it in June and got it end of July, early August.

There is a wait on these products and on its accessories. Awaiting the XLR adapter. Tis should arive Oct. I'm going through Rexel for that.

Peter
Have part time job at University. There was a Rexel sales rep selling gear to where I work at the Uni. So I contacted him directly.

Haven't had time to use the camera much yet . Had a friend document 8hrs on it. But it was all done in infra red (The show was in the dark). So I won't get a chance to really use it far about a month. And because I'm stuck with an editing job presently and have some writing to do, shooting won't come about for a while. I have an old TRV 900 but I won't even try to shoot them together, a match up nightmare I reckon.

I'm in Redfern.

Peter Jefferson · August 23rd, 2004, 09:45 AM

Denis Beaubois · August 23rd, 2004, 11:21 PM

Huh

That's not the price for the camera alone is it?

That's more than a brand new DVX at a super rip off store?

Maybe I read something wrong.

Australian Dollars

For the extra $94 you probably have a [USER 1] button that works properly.
To get mine working I have to press dead centre with a finger nail. Normal finger pressure doesn't do it. Still, 2 buttons out of three is not bad.
