Today I called a dealer in state that I bought a piece of gear from 2 years ago (Roland Fantom-S workstation), and saved a good chunk. In their catalog, the Canon XL2 retails for $5100. They of course don't list the price they sell at (MAP and all), so I called and was told $4300.

Good deal?

I got a perfectly good xl2 body and lens kit from B&H for $3900. Was here in 2 days. Nothing wrong with it. I'm loving it.

Uhhh.... the street price for an XL2 WITH the 20X lens is down to about $3699 I bought a second one not too long ago from a legit eBay vendor for $3750 shipped. Full warranty and an authorized reseller.
