Been looking around for a DVX100a online.. I have seen quite a few on ebay, and most of them sell for $2000-$2300.

I found this website, which claims to sell only new products - and their price is $1500 - sounds too good to be true:
http://www.thecameraprofessionals.com/prodetails.asp?prodid=289&gclid=CJnA_5Xz24wCFQlQWAodlHzCdQ

Then there is this site which lists the camera from multiple stores:
http://www.shopcartusa.com/P_Panasonic_AG-DVX100B_AGDVX100B/PT_Y/?ic_campID=98

Are any of these good options? Any other places I should be looking?

thanks!

The DVX100A is a discontinued product. You should be looking at a DVX100B. The list price on this camera is $2995.

None of the vendors that you have shown links for are authorized dealeras and frankly you will find that your camera will not have a Panasonic US warranty.

I suggest you look at some of the dealers that support this site and make your purchases there.

IMHO, ShopCartUSA exists solely to promote online stores that have a reputation for pulling bait-and-switch scams. If you examine the tactics of those stores on reputable sites like ResellerRatings.com, you'll often find completely contradictory shopping experiences.

Caveat emptor!
 
$3000 for a DVX100b seems like a lot.. For just a little more I could get an HD camera (XH A1 or the HVX). I have used the XL2 quite a bit at work, but I was wanting to get the DVX100a because it is much lower in price (I realize it would be used..) and it seems like it would be much easier to maneuver than the XL2.
 
Generally yes. If you want to stay cheap and don't care about getting a warranty, you're better off buying from someone on this site in the Marketplace section than buying from eBay. Watch your back here, but generally things go smoothly.
 
I called and they told me it has the Factory USA Warranty, and it does have all the warrenty papers with it. And i called the number on the warranty papers to make sure, gave them all the info they needed and they said it is warrantied. So it seems to be legit.

Hi,

Keep in mind that unless you had the US Service department check your serial number against the list, I would still say it is gray. The last one I checked that came from Abe's was gray market and the warranty was in Canada. Keep in mind that the cameras sent to North Amera have warrenty paperwork for three places, Canada, US and PuertoRico. If you want to PM me with your serial number I will check it for you.

Best,

3k or even 2600 seems too much for a new dvx. i think i'll wait even longer and wait till it comes down more.
 
OHHHHHHH STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOO
DON"T BUY iT FROM THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shopcartusa is a fraud site. Try writing a negative review on there, guess what they won't post it. Don't go to those small store sites, I did, and I regret it. They do lots of bait and switch, they will charge you for something you didn't even want!!
Go to the big dependable stores
bandh, adorama, amazon
 
Thanks for all the suggestions. I actually ended up buying a DVX100a from a poster here on dvxuser.com! I paid a little over $1800 for a camera with about 120 hours, which seemed like a really good deal to me. It should be coming in the mail early next week - I can't wait!!!
