    I’d advise avoiding Broadway- they are a bit shady. Try EVS, Promax, B&H or Samy’s.

    Thanks for the tips. Why do you say Broadway is shady? I have heard a couple people say that, but no one has an explaination or personal experience. Also, I want to avoid ebay because I would like a warranty when I buy a $3k camera.

    If you want a warranty, do *NOT* buy from Broadway! Broadway is not an authorized reseller, they do not carry Panasonic USA product (they only carry gray-market imports). If you buy from an authorized dealer you get a warranty, the DVX Book/DVD, the $300 rebate, the CGR-D54 battery, and a box of the new AMQ tapes, all for free. If you buy from a gray-marketer you get NONE of that stuff. Instead you’ll get a Japanese or Canadian camera, one that has no warranty at all in the USA. You’ll have to send it back to Japan (or Canada) for warranty work.

    One of my favorite links on the web.

    Yes, if anyone is planning to spend thousands of dollars on a web transaction, you might be very interested in seeing the “places of business” that these shops operate out of. Might make you think twice.
