This week, Sanyo, one of the world's largest manufacturers of front projectors, introduced its new flagship home theatre 1080p 120HZ LCD projector which is expected in store in December. (http://www.digitalhome.ca/content/view/2867/283/)

The PLV-Z3000 Front Projector, which replaces the popular PLV-Z2000, offers a new optical engine, 1,2000 lumens of brightness, 65,000:1 contrast ratio, lens shifting, 2x zoom, 2 HDMI inputs and the company's proprietary TopazReal HD technology.

Pricing: $3,295 USD

Where can you actually buy the z3000 in Canada?

I sent you a PM.

So far it looks like Sanyo is not allowing web sales of the Z3000 and won't recognize those sales as authorized Canadian machines (what ever that means; it seems ridiculous).

Local dealers so have the Z3000, thought I have not been able to see one in action yet. Let me know if you manage to spot one working and what you think about it.

I have no idea how good this projector is, but it sure looks damn ugly.

I see you can now order the Z3000 online. Sanyo must be wanting to move this PJ to make room for the next model. I wonder will they do the same with the next model and not let you order online. I guess we will have to wait and see.
