    Can anyone recommend anywhere, retail or online, that is good on prices for miniDV cameras?

    I'm looking into buying one for an upcoming advertisement I'm filming instead of renting. I'm looking for something similar to the Canon XM2, or the XM2 itself, at a decent price.

    Thanks.

    Okay... So it's in Manhattan... But it's filthy cheap, they have the best range and it'll be the most surreal time you ever have shopping for a camera. Seriously though I know a massive amount of people who plan their purchases around being in New York so that they can use this place. It really is the best i've ever seen.

    Most importantly, they sell PAL equipment...

    Yeah thanks mate I tried them, too expensive. I'd get raped for vat and import duty you see, and I'm not heading over to NY anytime soon.

    I used them a few years back for a telescope and it was delivered no problem, so I'd have no trouble using them again, but unfortunately I'm not stinking rich.

    Any EU shops you know?

    On a different note, does anyone know the differences between the Canon XM2 and the Panasonic DVX-100B? Anyone ever used the Panasonic?
