you dont get so good prices on Panasonic here - you will get much better in china or singapore ( for pal )
what can you get is around 3.65-4+++. depends who are you buying from and what aditional stuff you take .that was before $ went down to toilet , since the cameras priced in yens it might be more these days .
there is authorized dealer who dont haggle at all and bit you to **** with the prices and there is gray market importer who give much better prices and give you his warranty for the product .
batteries - you better buy in the states
tapes - you can get here - about the price dont really know
aditional stuff -it depends ,some cheaper some not .
no one haggle - there is bottom price that every seller know and looks for sucker who will not ask for the discount .
since i quit know some people who sell here (reselers ) ,the money they do on cameras like these are not more 10% , so you can haggle or not but you better look for someone that will give you better castomer support .
by the way Max - why are you sad , is it beecouse you did haggle to much

thats quit stupid since usual it take about 2 weeks get something from the states via post services and cost to much if you send it FedEx .
in most places you can pay in $ ( or other foreigner currency in cash , get passport when you buy)and get free of vat recite , or claim for vat in the airport when you live the country .

Bring minidv tapes, as everything in Israel is PAL based. I rented equipment from a shop in tel-aviv i believe called UTOPIA. If you need other equipment. I shot a music video in August out there. Oleg, we should be in touch i plan on doing some more videos out there soon. In case you missed the video check it out for BETZEFER- EARLY GRAVE. PM me if you have any questions.
