alpine0000 0 Posted June 23, 2009 I've seen the literature on Panasonics site for the cameras, and seen a few sites that have said "summer of 2009", but has anybody heard anything more precise about the release date of Panasonic's SD5 cameras? Specifically, I'm interested in the WV-CW504 cameras that are taking the current 484 dome's place. Internet searches seem to turn up nothing but pictures.

alpine0000 0 Posted July 10, 2009 bump to top i figure eventually somebody will know the release date, as panasonic said it was going to be sometime this summer i've been holding off on buying new cameras for almost 2 months now because of this! haha. this is what ive found so far, which compares the current 484 dome with the new 504 dome. i'm liking what i see so far! i also wonder what the pricing will be on these. Hopefully itll be the same as the current 484 domes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCTV_Suppliers 0 Posted July 10, 2009 The word from Pano is "soon"... and that could me a month or more... I saw the demo unit and we did some tests... SD5 is better than SD3... Price points from what I understood could be slightly higher or may even be the same.. it all depends what Pano decides at the end. From what I understand is that they are selling these new technology system in Japan already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardwired 0 Posted July 10, 2009 My (fairly well connected) rep recently told me mid-August..... We'll see... It looked really good at ISC, and the 484 style housing is a treat to use compared to many others. I'm hoping to get one soon! As far as pricing, our rep said "about $100 too much" ...Ugh.

I like the 484 housings as well; they're battleship-tough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted July 13, 2009 Our supplier tells me Panasonic will be using SD5 tech in a new line of megapixel IP cameras as well... if true that will be a significant dent in the "IP-cams-don't-handle-bad-lighting" beef. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sawbones 0 Posted July 13, 2009 Some of the Pano IP cameras already have SDIII. I have an NW484S camera that I know for a fact has it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alpine0000 0 Posted July 20, 2009 So the question of the day is: will the current 484 domes see a drop in price when the SD5 stuff hits the street, or will they continue to sell at the same price point online until the inventory is gone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alpine0000 0 Posted July 23, 2009 http://www.panasonic.co.nz/professional/security-industrial/security-cameras/analog.html well, panasonic has it listed on their analog camera page (second row, third from left), but when you click on "more details" it yields nothing more than a pretty picture. the wait is killing me!
