    "Heads were just changed last month by Panasonic"

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/220914995480...84.m1423.l2649

    I thought heads referred to tape heads - this is a solid state camera; how could there be any heads to replace? I've never cracked one open, but what do I know? Does this sound right to any of you?

      This one does not pass the smell test.

        A starting price of $50 and no reserve from someone who has only bought $0.99 recipes on eBay is definitely suspect.

            I just bid on the new Briggs & Stratton gas powered camera by the same lister. Apparently it uses just regular chainsaw lube on the heads. I hope I win!

                The seller seems to know his product well ....

                    Well I would say something is terribly wrong here. To claim that Panaosnic just changed the heads and there is a 1 year warranty, is very suspect. If you want to throw money at a possible stolen camera(I mean why else would he be willing to sell it so cheap and then use the money gained for an upgrade?)
                    Keep you money,

                      Shoot.... and I thought this was only the first step of clever retro-engineering and soon - in version -2.0 - we could have the AG-AF 1xx hardware downgrade to hand-crank.....

                        Hi Jan. What "heads" could he even be talking about? When I hear heads I think of tape mechanisms.

                        *Edit* Nevermind, the seller claims this was a mistake. I told him I have a buddy in Austin and asked if it was ok to see the camera before bidding. Will update with the response.

                          On Dec-16-11 at 11:39:07 PST, seller added the following information:ANYONE CURIOUS ABOUT THE HEADS THIS IS A TYPO. I HAVE ANOTHER PANASONIC CAMERA I WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO SELL BUT DIDNT. WAS LOOKING AT THAT WHEN WRITING THE LISTING ON THIS ONE AND WITHOUT THINKING PUT THAT IN. I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE. THAT SENTENCE ABOUT THE HEADS IS A TYPO THAT SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS LISTING. APPARENTLY I CANT DELETE THE SENTENCE AND CAN ONLY ADD THIS EXPLAINING. THANKS. PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

                              I live in Austin, so I just bid on this since I'll make him meet up with me before I send any money. Any in the area have their AF-100 stolen? Is there any way I can check the serial to see if it's gray market?
