Got A Reputable Dealer? at DVinfo.net

Mark Morache · January 16th, 2003, 03:39 PM

I'm looking to purchase a Sony PDX10 camcorder (or a PD 150 if I can find a good deal)

I've heard the horror stories. Particularly Robert Knecht Schmidt's "Don't Get Burned" post.

How about some good experiences anyone has had?

I've ordered from B&H, and they don't always have the lowest prices, but they are 100% reliable. Perhaps there are some places that have lower prices but are still reliable.

Thanks.

Well I'm sure I'll only be the first in a series of the same, but try out http://www.zotzdigital.com

I heard a lot about them on this board, and finally placed my first order with them. Their staff is very helpful and personable.

I buy often from B&H as well. But it seems that Zotz is cheaper on many things.

If you're in Seattle then you can also try calling Camera World in Oregon. I wanted to check out Zotz but didn't have time to drive that far south during a recent visit to OR.

Be sure to ask about special pricing as their regular advertised price is near standard retail.

B & H Photo is a reputable Sony dealer on the East Coast and Zotz Is a reputable West Coast dealer, so with two good choices, I'm closing this thread to prevent the inevitable listing of hundreds of dealers the we all got great deals from.
