New HDR FX1 for under $2000?
 
There is a company selling the Sony HDR-FX1 camcorder for $1995 new. Does anyone have any experience dealing with usaphotonation.com? How can they do that?

Thanks. I just called them. The price is for the camera body only.

It's frightening that there are people like that out there.

sorry.. but I'm just curious how they would market the fx-1's body only? Dead giveaway ? The things we encounter when looking for a good deal ! Living in Mexico and buying always in the states , B&H is the only logical solution for me and usually their prices are worth the small increase for the peace of mind, in case . Kurth

"Body only" in this case means that the unscrupulous seller (can't really call them dealers as they are not authorized) is offering the camera only; the rest of the kit contents such as the charger, battery, AC cable, etc. are sold separately at outrageous prices, and as a condition of the camera purchase you have to buy these "extra" items from them as well, or else it's suddenly unavailable. This is a common scam.
