I was one of those 5 buyers - just want you to know, so far so good! No split screen, lens actually seems pretty rightous if you ask me (far better the the lens on the cannon xl1 IMO), and everything else is a go!
Pretty pretty camera.
I do have a dead pixel, but I'm hoping Stephen or Nate will email me the secret menu fix (which I promise not to use often as it can wreck the camera...)
Thanks 4 the great service so far -
John

We sure are in the IDX program, and I just received the coupons for the customers who bought them in January before the announcement. Nice to see my rep Marion took care of those good people. We sold 5 cameras the day before the price increase, and have been steadily taking orders since. The camera has redeemed itself, and is steadily garnering support from many communities.
Rush,
I just picked up my HD100 from EVS (through Randy) last week and he didn't have any coupons for the IDX. When should we expect them? I need to go by your place later this week.

Hi Tim, I looked on Randy's desk and didn't see one with your name on it yet. There were 5 for other people who bought it 3 weeks ago. I will have him call you when it gets in, or you can call us Friday if you like.

Tim who is your dealer in Hamilton? I'm from the west coast...but I'm keen to see if prices are more competitive on the east?
Albert, have you tried CineQuip White here in Burnaby, BC? I managed to get my HD100 for $5,700 CDN. Tim mentioned in another topic that price sounded way too low--too close to dealer pricing--but that's what I paid. Perhaps they made a mistake. I'm not sure. But you may want to check them out.
(Would be interested to hear what you find out, too.)
