Sam:

The advertizers at DVInfo are all class dealers. Chris Hurd does recommends their use for purchase. In my experience, you can depend that unless the prices you are getting from a non-advertizing dealer is close to those quoted by advertizers here, you are likely looking at a scam. In addition, for starters, I alway check out www.bhphoto.com

Thanks chris. i have checked the site, im looking for a used cam and they seem to stand behind thier products. When I had the studio, I always purchased from Sweetwater, thier commitment to customer service is outstanding. So, I called them and asked about BH. They(my sales rep for 9 years) said that I could think of them for video as I have thought about Sweetwater for audio. I am glad to say that the advice on this forum is great. all of you who have responded I thank. I hope to post a .mov in the future for review.
