That's All Folks!

Have a Good Week!

Mr.Briggs

Thanks for the ads Speedy. Prices not looking good for Fox & The Hound so far. I hope Best Buy has a better one to pm.

PopcornTreeCt

Wow, didn't take long for V for Vendetta to drop.

Just Lurking

speedy,

Is there any mention in the ad that they are selling HD DVD's on the 8th?

I was hoping for some mention since this is the rumored starting date.

zekeburger1979

I just got a $5 Reward Zone certificate so I'll be PM Scrubs Season 4 at BB if Target or CC end up being cheaper.

Thanks, Speedy!

argh923

Speedy, do you know anything about the quality of that camcorder? Almost seems like WAY too good of a deal to pass up.

speedy1961

None in the Target ad.


Some Blu-Rays in the CC ad (even though I did not list them).

wildman1037

Agreed. Hoping someone sells it for less than this. Thanks Speedy!

I became aware of this company during some of my electronics readings.

Their press release states the following:


DXG Press Release: DXG Rocks Digital Camera Industry With Eye-Catching Digital Camcorder / MP3 Player; Retailers and Consumers Take Notice of Stylish 5-in-1 DXG-305V

DXG USA, one of the fastest growing digital camera manufacturers in the United States, today announced its latest trend-setting digital camcorder for entry-level enthusiasts. The new DXG-305V digital camcorder is a perfect 5-in-1 companion for those on the go by combining a video camcorder, MP3 player, 3.0 megapixel digital still camera, voice recorder, and PC camera - all in one compact design the length and width of a credit card. The DXG-305V is available in four fashionable colors including iridescent blue, hot pink, lime green, and silver. It will be available at retail stores nationwide beginning in February 2005 for $129.

“The multi-purpose functionality, overall design, and affordability attributes of the camera are really catching the attention of retailers and consumers,” said Paul Goldberg, senior vice president, sales and marketing for DXG USA. “With its ability to record video, take digital still pictures and play MP3 files, the 305V incorporates some of the most sought after features consumers want right now with some of the hottest colors in the marketplace.”

The 5-in-1 functionality of the DXG-305V provides consumers with a fun and compact device that is ready to be used at a moment's notice inside or outdoors. As a digital camcorder, the 305V utilizes the latest MPEG-4 video compression technology and allows users to record special events almost anywhere and play them back on their personal computer or TV. The built-in MP3 player allows songs to be downloaded and stored on the camcorder's memory and played back using the included earphones, a perfect addition for travelers. The 305V also includes an expandable SD card slot for up to 512MB of removable storage.

As a digital camera, the DXG-305V provides 3.0 megapixel pictures in a simple point and shoot format. The voice recorder is ideal for daily personal reminders, grocery lists and much more. And for those wishing to videoconference with friends or remote relatives, the camera can be easily connected to a personal computer for face-to-face chats via the Web.

DXG continues to be a preferred brand for resellers and consumers seeking price-competitive digital cameras and camcorders. The company's Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) and Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) experience in digital cameras has enabled DXG to move into the U.S. market quickly and become one of the fastest growing digital camera manufacturers, tripling initial revenue projections in its first year of operation. According to last month's Photo Marketing Association's estimated 2004 sales of digital cameras, DXG has captured nearly 2% of the U.S. market in just 9 months.

The DXG Product Line
DXG USA now has one of the largest lines of entry-level digital cameras below a street price of $199 with nine product choices in its current and growing product family, including underwater and slim line models. The line is categorized by camera style.

In the Camcorder category, DXG offers the DXG-202V, DXG-301V and the new DXG-305V. In the Compact category, the company offers the DXG-308, DXG-321 and the new DXG-502 models. In the fashionable Ultra Slim category, the DXG-328 and the new DXG-409 are available. And in the Specialty category, DXG offers the underwater / waterproof DXG-308U. As an additional value, DXG includes batteries, USB and TV output cables, camera case and photo editing software at no additional cost.

Based on what I've been reading, this should be considered a good, solid starter model for those looking to try out a digital camcorder. As such, I've listed it in my store notes.

Here's some reviews (which of course vary from user to user and by that user's capability):

http://www.amazon.com/DXG-DXG-305V-D.../dp/B0007WBRXA



The first Amazon review is quite helpful.

My own opinion would be as I stated before: a good starter model for those just entering the arena of digital camcording / digital picture taking.

Would I buy it myself? Yes, but I'm smart enough to know that I'm buying a Neon instead of a fully loaded Cadillac. It seems to me that some folks expect EVERYTHING from this unit and it appears that some are unaware that they are NOT buying an upper-end Canon or Minolta but rather a good, affordable unit to experiment / play with.

Thanks for posting these prices Speedy, even though I don't see anything that catches my eye this week

Just wondering, when it comes time do you also get the day after Thanksgiving sale ads early?

HE Pennypacker

Nothing for me, thanks for posting.

speedy1961

I do.

sataniko

Thanks for the early prices, Speedy!

head dvd nut

Thanks for the early prices!
Just might have to get V for Vendetta at that low price.

ignition

Hmm... three ads, yet no advertised prices for Harvey Birdman V2 or the Exorcist Anthology.

kmac2878
