I bit the bullet last night and ordered a new HC7 from B&H. Thanks for your comments on this camcorder and others to help me make this choice. I can't wait to receive it and begin learning the HD world.

Nice, Got mine from BH when it first came out several months ago. You will truly love it!! Enjoy!

Another "BandH'er" here. Got mine and all the accessories from them.

Only thing I think they should change is that they include a crappy SD quality (if that) WA lens from 'impact' in their 'kit' and it was terrible.

I sent it back and got the Raynox 5050PRO.

Customer service, pricing, etc. was great and I LOVE the HC7 :)

How did they allow you to sent just the lens back.

I emailed them and told them the lens was not the quality I was expecting, they were very cool and told me I had 14 days to get it back to them. They emailed me an RMA and the instructions.

When I got to UPS to ship my lens back to them, I actually put the WRONG shipping address on the package (duh!). I shipped it to the main retail store instead of the returns address (different buildings). I emailed them to let them know and they were very helpful and got it to the right place.

I would definitely use them again.
