Customer Reviews

This is NOT a review for this seemingly excellent camera YET..
I hope Amazon doesn’t mind and actually should appreciate the following:
I’ve been in the market for this Camcorder for over a month now and haven’t quite decided between the DVC30 or DVC60 – also have been looking at the Canon GL2, but all the reviews warning about the cassette problems keep me away from it.. Both (Panasonics) have almost the same features except for size of the Camera and LCD screen. I am a ret. camera man and would like to have the “shoulder”-version, but then the more compact DVC30 is also tempting.
HOWEVER: I have also researched prices of different bidders on the Web.
BE AWARE: I have contacted (and actually placed orders) with at least three “Super Deal” CAMERA shops, all of them on the US-East-Coast and CLOSED on “SATURDAY’s”..!? (I don’t want to get in trouble, so I avoid names) Some of them offer the DVC60 f.i., for under ,600.- and when you call to confirm the order (they require that..!), you talk to a “hasty” guy – and some are really RUDE! – He’ll tell you this price is only for the BODY (???) with “SILCH” (his words) – or for a “Japanese” version (go figure) – or just not in stock … and when you get to the point where you say: “I just want the Camcorder with the BASIC (“What’s in the Box”)accessories and a lens (which IS FIXED) on it”, they have the weirdest explanations (some then call it a “RETAIL” version) and ask for anywhere from ,200. to $,2400. !!!, which is much more then from a reputable organisation like Amazon with fair prices and a courteous, reliable return policy (just in case).
I must add though, all of these “hudlums” accepted imediate cancellations and have not placed any charges to my already provided CreditCard information … which WAS a concern..!!!
Hope this helps someone – (just trying to be a “concerned citizen” )
P.K.H.
