Camcorder Buying Advice (Where to Buy?)

BBB is a pointless consumer excercise. A far better choice is resellerratings.com.

NewEgg, however, is well-known around electronics circles as being a top quality online reseller with good prices, good customer service, and very, very reliable. I've bought tens of thousands of dollars in computer equipment and electronics from them over the years and consider them absolutely top-notch. You are right to be suspicious of online electronics resellers, but I sure wouldn't worry about buying from NewEgg.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com is a great place to buy cameras too

 

B&H Photo is also extremely reliable with excellent customer service - I've bought a lot of camera equipment there. The biggest difference between them and NewEgg is that B&H is mostly a photography reseller that happens to sell some non-photo electronics, whereas NewEgg is an electronics store that happens to sell some cameras. Nevertheless, I would have no qualms about saving the $100 and buying a video camera from NewEgg.
