What's the best place to order a PAL HV20 in North America? I don't think they'd stock 'em at Circuit City.

Brian,

I can 1000% percent recommend one company if you PM me.

I believe that B&H stocks PAL camcorders. They are the gold-standard for honest, reliable and knowledgeable on-line vendors (they have a great brick-and-mortar store in Manhattan) and are also a dvinfo.net sponsor. I buy all my camera and electronic gear from them (including my HV20),
