I've seen better deals around. Check out the classified/buy&sell sections of other video websites. I don't know about here as I don't have access to that forum yet :(

You should usually be able to find people selling the camera with a good bag or hard case and a bunch of accessories for under $2500. Lots of XHA1's on sale now because a lot of people are switching to DSLR's for video.
 
And there is a better camera out there now: the Canon XF300. But I think $2800 for a used camera is waaaaay too much.
