HV30 Package Needs at DVinfo.net

Hey, I've been researching for A WHILE now for a high def camera, with my budget to get me out of the standard definition cave. (being $900 or below). I really wanted an A1 but not right now, too expensive. I concluded that an HV30 best suits what I want to do. I need 24fps, a decent optical, the censor isn't quite 3CCD ( not sure if the CMOS is any better) but that's fine, and the whole high def thing helps ;) Anyways, what I NEED is someone to tell me where the BEST place to get a package including the camera itself is. I need:

1)the camera
2)An FLD, polarized, and UV filter
3)A telephoto, and a HD .5X wide angle lens
3)A bag (or preferrably hard case)
4)tripod
5)and a cleaner would be nice

I can get an extra battery and other things down the road, but this is what I need now. I also understand that I just described a dream eBay package but that's okay. I found a package similar to what I listed for about $830, and better prices??? Any better ideas on a camera??

Thanks a lot
CME

EDIT: I've seen some folks build their own 35mm adapters for the HV30, any ideas where to get a good one?
