.i'm thinking to call them too to check if i can get the same $19 refund...

There's a miser in all of us.

So which one are you going for with the extra $19?

Sony tapes at Singapore dollars 4.50 each, that's US$2.70 and $19 will get you 7 tapes!

We all can't live in Singapore, though. :-))

Please don't, this is one saturate place already! But visitng Singapore is good for buying electroic stuff.

Frank, your slim pro-UV filter, still getting it?

When I called, they told me that it has to be a reputable company before they would even consider giving me any money back. Out of the three companies that has the 852 at a lower price, I have only heard of Butterfly Photo, so I told them that.

I have been looking at the prices for the 852 at these three companies again and there seems to be something fishy going on. All of their prices went back up to $799, except for Butterfly Photo, which is still $511. However, if you do a search using pricegrabber and click on the butterflyphoto.com link from there, the price is suddenly back to $799. Very strange.

Not yet. Too many new bills, and I've set aside a little something for a mic---I think I need the mic more than the 52mm UV at the moment. I'll let you know when I have a bit of extra jingle in my pockets.

Hebron, I don't think pricegrabber will find you the best deal.

Oh, I forgot to mention... B&H will only consider a price match if you are still within the return period of the merchandise. For camcorders, it is 7 days after you have received it.

Frank: Is there another search engine that will find better prices?

Yes.

It's called ask our very own, Tommy H. He usually knows where the best buys are; and posts them too. :-))
