Hi, just for info I bought a camera this week from Camera192 on US192 (near Walmart at Marker 14), it is a Canon DV camera that retails in the UK at £599, cost $599 here - quite a saving, but there are lots of places selling at simiar prices.

Some recent experience, in points to look out for :-

Canon have different model names for cameras in Europe/USA i.e. an Elura50 in the US is an MV6i, well worth looking at the Canon web site so you can work out what it is called in the US. - The European models are available but typically the same price as UK, the main difference being that in the UK we use PAL signalling while in the US it is NTSC - most modern TV's, Videos etc.. in the UK support NTSC, and computer editing suites allow it to be changed quite easily from one version to the other, but worthwhile being aware.

Final point, be clear about what it is that you want, and how much you are prepared to pay - as the 'cheap' outlets will try and bundle lots of things to increase the price.

Hope that helps
