What do you mean by "no longer supported"? It's still, and always has been, only supported by Panasonic. And they're rather attached to it, so I don't see them giving up on it for at least a little while longer.

There's no getting around the expense of P2. The cards are expensive, you need expensive hard drives to replace cheap tape backups, and it generally calls for an extra crew member on set to act as a P2 card wrangler. Despite that, the alternative for acquiring footage at this quality is full-size DVCAM tape like what the larger Varicams use, which are big, unwieldy cameras that go for $60,000 (not to mention $25,000 for a DVCPRO HD deck)

The HVX200 is a fantastic camera. Expensive, yes, but for under $10,000, I don't think you can find a camera that produces better footage.
