I would recommend going with the sponsors. Here's why:
the internet has a LOT of SHYSTERS. Particularly with electronics. So you may think you're scoring some deal, but in fact it's a non existent company that may or not have scored some stolen or busted box merch. They post it, you pay. Whether or not it comes is a wild guess. You call to complain and no one answers the phone. And what do you get to save $60? A whole lot of aggravation.
HV20s are AFFORDABLE cameras. Folks get a bit greedy when they see a $1,000 difference with other makes of cameras. Well, you may get the body and NOT the lens (though standard unit has both). Or whatever they can pull. Credit Card company can't protect you... particularly if they send you something and have a tracking no. and signature. Burden's on you.
