HVX200 Book

Dylan Couper · June 29th, 2006, 08:13 PM

What's the deal with the Panasonic rebate program and the book?

Barry Green · June 30th, 2006, 06:50 AM

Thanks for putting the link in there, Chris!

With Panasonic USA, they're not doing a rebate (that was Jarred's wording on the website), but they are giving the book away for free to anyone who bought an HVX200P from an authorized USA dealer, including retroactively all the way back to the first units sold last December. However, the site isn't up yet, so you can't register yet, Jan said it'll be about a month before they have the site fully operational.

Thanks Barry
Do you think the free book extend to people who bought from Canadian authorized dealers too? :)

That's cool and all, but I went ahead and ordered the book anyway. I suppose I'll still apply for the free book, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it. heh.

Looking forward to getting the book, Barry.

Started doing a few paying jobs with this camera and, while I now know the basics, it would be nice to become truly proficient with it.

Thanks for doing all that hard work!

Alrighty... Received my HVX book today! Looks pretty darn good, but I haven't had a chance to start reading yet, maybe this weekend... :)

That's a question for the marketing director of Panasonic Canada. Each territory decides how to spend their marketing dollars. Panasonic NZ and Panasonic US have decided that their customers are served by giving away this product (and US also gives away InstantHD and Magic Bullet Editors with the DVX, of course). If any other territories want to participate, I'll gladly answer the phone! :)

Barry the last page I have in the HVX book is page 270 in the index section and ends with Raylight . Is this correct?
Went to look for 'saving' and it seemed like I was missing pages of the index.

David Saraceno · July 7th, 2006, 09:16 AM

That would be correct.

Bird Youmans · July 11th, 2006, 09:12 PM

Just got my HVX 200. How do we get instant HD and magic bullet?

Thanks,

Bird

A little over a month since this post. Fingers crossed; still nothing on the Panasonic site that I can find.

Actually someone from a dealership posted a PDF of the mail-in form, so that's got to indicate that it's imminent...

Here's the form that you can print out and mail. http://www.silverado.cc/hvx200rf.pdf

On another forum Jan said that the website should be active tomorrow or, at the latest, Thursday, so you could register for it online soon.

The icon for the Barry Green HVX book offer is now on Panasonic's site. Here's a direct link -

http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp...odel=AG-HVX200

or you can get there from going to http://www.panasonic.com/broadcast then going to the HVX200 section.

I've had my HVX since April, but just saw this link and immediately registered.

Any idea how long it might take for delivery?

August 13th, 2006, 09:30 AM

no telling. Maybe a week, maybe four. Depends on how efficient Panasonic has its processes in place for this promotion. There's this thread -

http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=73215

in the Sticky section where Jan mentioned the books in stock, so hopefully soon. I got to see the book at an HVX training course in Austin hosted by Omega Broadcast. Jan was there both days doing part of the training and she had the book. I thought it was well done from what I read and I also liked the way it was bound with a big heavy spiral to make it easy to open it up to a page and keep it there while you work with your camera.
