Just trawling Sonys site and I found this...

Wish me luck. I'm going to get it Saturday!

There is a very good chance you should get a good unit with no problems being that it is so late in the game.

Did you get it from one of the sponsors on this website..B&H, Abel Cinetech..etc?

Fully agree with both of you...

This thread is *completely* out of character for DV Info Net.

And it's thoroughly baked -- so therefore closed.

For those who want to vent: go start a blog! This site is an information exchange, not a soap box for personal ranting. And another thing... for those who like posting "Chris might ban me for saying this" may indeed find themselves actually banned, not for what they were going to say, but because I hate to disappoint when expectations are involved. Thanks all,
