  • OT: Where to purchase Sony FX1?

    Posted by Mark Weaver on August 11, 2005 at 10:55 pm

    Does anyone have any experience good or bad with
    a particular online camcorder vender? I’ve seen
    prices for the FX1 from $2600-$3700 online and
    wonder what the disadvantages are of taking the
    lower priced one.

    Thanks in advance

    I suggest https://www.bhphoto.com

    I bought mine from them. But you might be able to find something local at a brick and mortar store for the same price. Keep in mind that B&H does not charge sales tax if you are not in NY, but does charge shipping.

    Whoever you buy from, check https://www.resellerratings.com first.

    Steven,
    Thanks for the quick response. I’ve been looking
    at BHphoto and glad to hear that you got yours okay.
    Did you purchase an extended warrenty? If so what
    are the features of it?

    Thanks

    Mark

    I got the Mack Warranty. I am not sure if I would do it again, but I certainly wanted a warranty of some sort. I really wish there was someone local – or rather – the new local for me – which will be in Orlando Florida in a few months. I hate to think about sending it off and being without the camera for a few weeks.

    If I could figure out my wife’s filing system easily, I would tell you more about the Mack Warranty. But, alas, it is buried somewhere.

    In any case, look here: https://www.mackcam.com/warranty.html

    Steven,
    Awwww dang… Thats what I thought when I read about the MACK
    warrenty. Like you, I don’t like to ship my camera away for 2-3weeks.
    It would be nice if there was a local rep.
    I went to the website you mentioned and got the phone number. Wow,
    was that futile…. I just got into the “Press 1 for sales, 2 for service,
    3 for joe somebody….” etc… etc… One big voice message loop.
    I guess I’ll keep looking for a warrenty package.
    Good luck with the move. Orlando is beautiful and you very close
    to the ports for all the cruise ships. My wife and I love going on
    cruises. Well actually we love going anywhere in the carribean. 🙂

    One last note, if you figure out your wife’s filing system can you
    send me the method? I’m hoping it helps me with understand my wife’s
    filing cabinet. (It like the purse, I never go into it)

    Thanks for the help.

    This link may help you decide where to buy. If I’m not mistaken, I believe Steven was the one who first posted it on the forum.

    Thanks for the post. It really seems like B&H have been around
    for awhile. Thats good! I’ll have to dig into it a little
    more, but this seems like an excellent resource.

    Thanks

    Mark
