just to let you know, if you buy this camera from tapeworkstexas.com you won't pay tax, texas doesn't charge sales tax for any video equipment that will be used for broadcast or film purposes. So unless you're buying this for your home movies, you qualify.
Use the money you saved on tax and buy a few extra batteries!!!
ask for jason price, tell him Brent suggested it (I won't make anything off it, just want him to know I care)(I just bought an A1 from them and they seriously rock.)
