Panasonic had a rebate offer that stated, " if you purchased a Panasonic HVX 200 Professional Video Camera, by March 31, 2007, you would receive a panasonic 8gb P2 Card valued at $1200 within 6-8 weeks after submitting the rebate form.

Well I purchased the Camera In January and submitted the rebate form within the specified time. It has been over 12 weeks now and still no rebate.

Panasonic changed their website to state," 12-15 weeks. According to the rebate company which is a 3rd party company, Panasonic is on backorder with the cards, and that is the delay. These cards can be found anywhere, where pro equipment from panasonic is sold. So it is not a shortage issue.

While they advertised that the rebate was worth $1200, the rebate is now not worth the same, because you can now buy these cards at less than $700 in most retail stores that carry the panasonic pro products. The advertisement as stated is a reason why people would buy this item when they can receive a rebate that was worth $1200. I feel that Panasonic should provide me with the same rebate value, either in Panasonic P2 Cards as originally stated, which means they would owe me two P2 Cards. Or I will take the cash.

I have attempted to contact Panasonic, including the person in charge as per the rebate company, Jan from the Livingston, New Jersey Office of Panasonic. Her phone number is 201-348-7634. Still no contact from them.
