Can those who have purchased this camera chime in on where they bought it, how much they paid and how smoothly their transaction went? I am hoping to get time to buy one of these cameras next week and haven't yet had the chance to surf the internet for a place with a good price as well as a company that's easy to deal with in the event there is a problem.

Camera #1 from Promax (price $3395 plus shipping but I got this lower price from pre-order special back in August). Camera delivered well before time promised, very smooth transaction. I have bought from Promax before. They are great.

Camera #2 ordered from local dealer (Carolina Camera). Ordered also in August, though they did not have formal pre-order program. They matched Promax price. Camera is not here yet, they except it around the 15th or so. This cam will be a B camera/rental unit.

Our DV Info Net sponsors who are authorized Panasonic dealers for this cdamera are Zotz Digital and Pro-Tape, and I'm thinking about adding one more. Once I get the DVX100 Assistant site online, there'll be more info about ordering from our site sponsors.

So how many readers here have purchased one of these cameras? Where did you buy it and how much? Any recommendations?
