Who has received their PIX240?
I have gotten mine. It showed up on Saturday.
I've not taken it out of the box yet since the F3 is out on rental and I'm on light duty while I recover from throat/sinus surgery. Lets hear from the others out there when you get your recorders. Please share your thoughts and impressions.

Re: Who has received their PIX240?
I was under the impression mine was coming sooner rather than later. Found out a couple of days ago that I am #76 on Abel's list and they are receiving them at the rate of 12 per week. Placed a backup order with Gotham Sound since my rep told me their waiting list is shorter.
I'll definitely be posting whenever mine finally arrives. Ned |

Re: Who has received their PIX240?
Allan Barnwell at Omega Broadcast had one that wasn't committed last week when I last talked to him about it. You may want to drop him a note. They are forum sponsors to boot.

Re: Who has received their PIX240?
Thx, Chris. Just dropped Allan a line to see if he still has it.
Ned UPDATE: Allan still had it and in two days I'll have it! Thanks so much for the lead, Chris. Ned Last edited by Ned Soltz; October 25th, 2011 at 01:51 PM. |

Gotham Sound will have stock on 11/2. Ask for Christina. And my continued thanks to Omega Broadcast for great service.

Re: Who has received their PIX240?
I odered from Abel in early Sept but i was way down the list. Put down eeposit with Gotham who said they could deliver in 2 weeks. Omega had a cancellation and I snagged it on a Tuesday, receiving it 2 days later.

Re: Who has received their PIX240?
Just got mine yesterday but haven't decided on hard drives. Wondering if (2) 128 gig drives would be better than one 256 gig. I know getting two of the 256's would be best of all but I want to see how much use I actually get out of this before I commit extra $. It's a shame the PIX needs such fast and expensive CF cards which kills the chance of using this for press junkets. Hoping future firmware can fix this but not holding my breath. One thing that really surprised me is the lack of locking mechanism for the batteries which will make it less useful for quick video assist situations. Anyone else have thoughts on any of these points?

Re: Who has received their PIX240?
I'm using the D-Tap cable and not the battery mount.

Re: Who has received their PIX240?
Running mine as well with the D-Tap. I bought a 256gb SSD but also have a 128gb SSD that I had bought to test the Blackmagic Design HyperShuttle.

Due to structure, they are roughly 50% faster than 120Gb's, especially with the critical spec of Incompressible Sequential Write speed which is the one important to writing video files. For the PIX, not sure it matters so much. AnandTech - The SandForce Roundup: Corsair, Kingston, Patriot, OCZ, OWC & MemoRight SSDs Compared AnandTech - OCZ Vertex 3 (240GB) Review |

Re: Who has received their PIX240?
Just curious how many of these are out in the wild now and how the stock is looking. Seems all the dealers are still showing not in stock. Anybody with a pre-order still waiting on their unit?
