Does Canon seal the A1's box at the factory?
Does Canon seal the A1's box at the factory? My A1's box was not sealed with a sticker or anything.... just like how Canon ships it's digital cameras...
I could swear that when I bought my old GL2, its box was sealed. In fact, I'm looking at the old GL2 box right now and there's a clear round sticker sealing the opening.(which I had to cut open before opening) Thanks! |

Same here- just pry it open- but you can sorta tell if the box has been open prior- it should be fairly stiff and corners razor sharp- just opening it a few times frays the edges.

Is there a way to tell if or how much a camcorder has been used?
A B&H salesman told me their policy for returns was up to 7 days and no more than 2 hours of use. |

What would you do with that information if you had it?
Y'all should run a head-cleaning tape in any brand new camera, before putting that first DV cassette in anyway. |

I never thought about doing that. Thanks for the advice! I'll do that when I get my next cam... :)

Speaking of head cleaning tapes... Is there a particular one that is recommended? Or anything I can find at the local electronics superstore?

See our Long Black Line forum for all things relating to tape, including head cleaning cassette recommendations. In short, the brand does not matter as long as it's a major one.
