In case anyone's interested, I got the following info from a Vegas user who
was at DV Expo.

"Panasonic lowered the price of the P2 cards and will be offering five
different packages. The base price of the camera offered at the show was
$5600. 4GB P2 card was $600, 8GB about $1500.
Focus Enhancements was showing their prototype 100GB portable hard drive for
the HVX and will be available for about $2000, supposedly in March or
April."
