HDR XR500v

does anyone know where the cheapest and legit place to get a Sony HDR XR500v camcorder is? I want mainly the camcorder I'm not interested in a package deal and i don't want to get ripped off or scammed. thanks very much!

anyone got an answer yet?

I suggest you take a look at the Camera Dealer feeback forum and look for dealers that are close to you that have a reputation for offering good service. A good rule of thumb is if a deal seems too good to be true, then it is. with a little searching you can normally spot the bait and switch scammers and the outright thieves because all the legit guys have very similar prices.
