P2 Camera for 2,849.00????
Has anyone checked out this deal from expresscameras.com
for the AG-HVx200?It’s listed for 2,849.00 which has to be too good to be true!
A reseller forum rates this company 3 out of 10 stars.
Anyone deal with them?

If the company isn’t Panasonic Authorized, then do not buy from them.
If it is too good to be true, then it isn’t.

If the price isn’t around $5300 USD, it’s likely a scam.

Yeah, I agree with you.
I actually called the company and they confirmed the price saying
that they can go this low because they are a wholesaler (who isn’t?). He said
it comes with a 4gb card and all the manufacturer stuff it usually comes with.I assumed it was too good to be true, but I wondered if anyone actually
tried to buy one from them.The forum I mentioned is the same you linked to.

Order it and tell us if you actually get a camera for this price. How many times on every board do we have to go through the discussion of the Brooklyn camera dealers????

$2,849.00 for the camera and $2,500.00 insurance and shipping. Great deal! 😉

Hey, maybe it’s the proto type they had at NAB 2005! Was that one plastic or wood?

This is a scam guys. Save your money and buy it frm an authorized reseller. With the new free 8GB card, you wouldn’t want your self to be in a position of not qualifying for that because you bought a gray market. I think this is the guy, that sells all the components seperately, battery, AC adapter, insurance. Get a good price from an authorized dealer and you will be good to go.
Best,

Also, what constitutes a “gray market”? I’m looking to buy and don’t want to run into
any problems with whatever that is.-Matt

Hello Jan,
Where can shooters find details about the free 8 gig card???
Thanks -
OH yeah, this is such a hilarious issue. I was buying some cams a few years back, and even though I know the spiel, I called one of those “ultra super lower than anybody’s price” yahoos just to see what they would say.
So… “Sure! We have the XYZ-6000 camera for $3000 less, but we’re out of stock” etc. etc. etc.
But the best part was: “the camera we sell at this price is the Chinese version with the all plastic body, and doesn’t include lens, transport, electronics, case, viewfinder, battery, instructions or warranty”.
As I said, just to see what they would say, I pursued until finally I figured out I could actually buy the “XYZ-6000” (or whatever it was) from them for about 20% more than B&H.
I guess some people go for this sort of bull.
