cool thanks,
that makes me feel better. was there a big diffrence in time between the shipments ?

Well I'm in the U.S. so the gift card actually arrived before the camera did (First Class U.S. Postal Service is generally faster than 3-5 day UPS). But the camera came a day or two later.

hey, did you ever end up having to pay duty, brokerage or taxes on your order?

Sorry i forgot to post about that stuff

I had to pay the 14.5% sales tax for BC but there was no extra charge from UPS they just took a check and said thanks.

I still have not received my $100.00 GC and i was to busy today to call so if it does not show up tomorrow then i will call B&H to see what is up.

thanks
now i am off to play with my baby

PS
does anyone know types of direct to harddrive recorders there are out there?

Chris you took the words right out of my mouth, B&H are never open on Friday evening or anytime on Saturday. But their website is open 24/7, and I have used it many times to order gear when it's "dark-thirty." Which reminds me, I gotta go on their website and get me a HTIB for my kitchen TV...can't stand listening to the ratty little speakers in the TV set any more.

Of course there are occasions where you need to talk to somebody live, like when Michael had questions.

Shabat Shalom in advance, y'all.

BTW, Michael, check out the Laird Telemedia "CapDiv" recorder, supposedly a pretty hot item for around $1300 USD. Oh yeah, and ship it Fedex, I never have the tiniest little problem with them.

Second box should be the $100 gift card. At least that's how mine came.

It's a plastic card, all in it's own little cardboard box. Card has a 16 digit number and a PIN that you enter to get discount on future B/H order.
