How about that! Oh well, I guess if you want one you'd better for it since I believe the rebate ends on Sept 30. It must be "Sony Day" there - I see the PD-170 is also back in stock, and at its old price....

Revisiting this old thread....
Looks like the end has finally arrived, although the PDX-10 did not die easily! Looking at Sony's Pro website, I don't see the PDX-10 in their lineup anymore :-( As recently as a few weeks ago it appeared here: http://bssc.sel.sony.com/Broadcastan...=11&s=1&cpos=1 B&H is still selling them for $1,700 however: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search The PDX-10 was introduced at NAB 4 years ago: http://bssc.sel.sony.com/Broadcastan...ppr4-7-02i.pdf Quote:

little slow in here, so I'll ramble!
I still have mine and it is my primary cam. I spent a lot of time earlier this year trying to decide weather or not to take the hd plunge, but at my current skill level it would not make much sense.
I'm going to shoot with it for at least another year, I think- possibly two, any money I get these days goes in front of the cam for the most part. We (my "crew" and I) are all trying to better our skills, and really the pdx is completely adeqaute for the level we're at- and, really, I'm looking at highly compressed web delivery as my venue right now, and i'm not sure HD would even make sense for that, at all. I'm not sure about much, if'n you hadn't noticed. I guess that's the lesson I've learned through all this format chaos- the cam matters, the sound matters, but you can do a lot with a little, and, although there are some advantages to having a cam that is a bit beyond your skill level, it is easy to fall into a trap where all you do is stare at the buttons and try to figure out which one to push and/or how to push it... Furthermore, although, i do feel a bit of envy for Boyd and the others who have moved on to HD, I revel in the thought that there is a good chance that by waiting I'll get a better camera for less money. But I'm not sure about that either. :/

Hey man, you need to work on your self confidence a little ;-)
I think the PDX-10 is capable of some really nice images and am still very happy with all the hours I shot with it. I like the manual controls and image tweaks on the Z1, but the bulk of my shooting gets downsampled to SD for DVD anyway. So I think you present a very good case for sticking with your current gear and putting the money somewhere else for the time being. |
