Right off the bat a $200 rebate. Is this a good sign? Only like $3300 with the rebate.

sorry for sounding like an absolute idiot but what is a rebate?

A rebate is what manufacturers offer to make their product more affordable and seemingly more attractive. For example, if Panasonic is offering a $200.00 dollar rebate, you would still purchase the camera at full price from your Panasonic dealer. Then, you would send in the required information to Panasonic (usually receipts, serial numbers etc.) and eventually, Panasonic will send you a check for $200.00 dollars. So, you have to have the money to lay out the full price of the camera but eventually you will get your rebate money.

When manufacturers do this, they are usually banking on two important results. ONE, it will increase sales due to the more attractive pricing. And, TWO, that many will neglect to submit their rebate information.

It's really pro-pro for everybody.

It's what happens when the fish steals the food off your fishing line and you have to put more on.
