HMC150 Used at B&H
 

For anyone on the fence about the camera or anyone about to buy one, I just was on B&H today (3-12-09) and saw they have at least one used model going for $500 under retail.

It would have been mine but the wife shot me down. Enjoy.

damn, i have it in my cart, just need to enter my info. i would prefer to sell
my EX1 first though.

only problem is that it only has a 30 day warranty. unless you pay an additional 119 for their 2 year warranty.

hmm I would probably wait for them to come back in stock if it was me. But that is just me.

You'd sell an EX1 for an HMC150? You sure?

i go back and forth, its about the $$. not a big fan of the rolling shutter, since
weddings are my mainstay.

I've never checked the B+H used section before, but even if it was the camera only. No batteries, no manual, no box, no nothing, it's still worth purchasing the camera used. If I got to it I would have picked it up in a heartbeat. Does B+H normally have crazy deals like this in the used section, or is this a one-off thing?

I personally didn't think it was such a great deal. You would have to buy a 2 year warranty for $119 instead of the 3 year from the factory. Plus you are missing out on the Larger Battery for $169 then not to mention the 8gb Panasonic Class 6 card. If you total all of that up and minus 1 year on your warranty and the fact you dont know who or how it was used before you got it. Nah I would pass to save only 200 or so bucks and buy one new.

Oops forgot about the free shipping you would have to pay for also.
