Hello:

I was thinking about buying a new JVC GY-HD100A but i would prefer to buy it in person rather than online. Would anyone know any good (good priced) California dealers that they could recommend? If not, would any one know of any good online stores to order the JVC GY-HD100A at a decent price.

Thank you

You've actually a couple of choices and your idea of buying in person is a sound one. The issue is not just about a camera but the support behind it after the sale. So, to that end, EVS and Abel Cine. See

It's fine if you enjoy paying sales tax.

In addition to the two mentioned by J. Ames (EVS and Abel), I wanted to point out that Birns & Sawyer (http://www.birnsandsawyer.com/) is also an HD100 dealer. All three are DV Info Net site sponsors, and as such, they are the only dealers we discuss here. Thanks,
