So I'm sorry I keep making different posts on different questions, I just keeping thinking of things I need to know and I feel they need different attentions, If I'm becoming bothersome please someone tell me, I should done asking questions soon =P.

This one is just about ordering my equipment, I've been running different scenarios and not sure what I should do.

I'm going to be ordering my HMC150 for around 3,199$ either from BH or Willoughbys, and I'm thinking of ordering another Battery (due to the one it comes with being so low) and a carry bag I like. the Battery is about 170$ and the Bag is about 90$, totally about 3,460$ with shipping and all, thats probably the max Ill go. Now I like that combo, however there are a few other ones as well. I could forget about the battery due to the fact that I'm going to get one through Panasonic's offer, however two batteries would be nice to start, I could then use that 170$ to get a few 16gb SD cards (2 panasonic's or a few transcends (already have 1)). Or I could possibly forget the bag and battery and try for a pretty decent tripod of about 250$. Or I could save that extra 250$ and just order the camera =P.
If anyone would mind throwing in maybe their 2cents, maybe their own personal combo with that dollar amount please let me know =P. Thanks for all the help you've all been with my annoying questions.
 
oh one more combo I could do. I could drop the Battery and instead get an external hard drive since I do need that also =P
 
Panasonic currently has a rebate offer going on, buy your camera, then fill out a form on their site and mail it in along with your receipt of purchase, and they, for free, will send you an extended battery and Panasonic 8gb SDHC card.
 
Ya I know which sucks, but I figured out that without the external hard drive it doesnt matter how much I can shoot I have no where to put the footage =/
 
I've decided to get a eSATA card adapter for my MBP : http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other World Computing/EXP34SATA2P1/

And get a pretty good 1tb eSATA hard drive from newegg:

totals about 160$ in the end, then I can either keep the bag, which I might or put 100$ towards something else, or just keep it :D lol. Idk about getting the bag just because I used a normal bag and added padding for my DVX100b and it was always just fine, so I dont really NEED the bag.
