Camcorder Shopping Tips...

[Aggie]

I was thinking about that (surprising number of you lot live in Florida, and in fact I'm getting something else shipped up from FL soon), but it may end up being a headache if anything goes wrong and needs warranty.

Hmmm.... I could take a big risk and try grab it in Seattle when I fly through, but I'm thinking that the airport ain't the best place for electronics deals (no time to hit the city, either). 

Going to have Christie check prices in Seoul, as she says that it's possible to get Japanese stuff (I suspect that duty/tariffs are in place that will up the price, though, but you never know).

Oh, I did find a couple of 'deals' today at Future shop:  That Sony Zono mentioned for $200 (open box, missing charger) and a Canon ZR800 for $99 (open box, 'missing everything').

The Sony may be worth grabbing, as it's regularly $429, and as I'm likely to be buying a spare battery, a charger wouldn't be a major add on.
