If it sounds too good ...
In my quest for an XL1S, I too came across Broadway Photo. The price was simply too good to be true, but they do manage to get your attention. I have been in contact with ZGC.com and will be placing my order with them on Monday. Their representative has been very helpful and prompt in response to my many questions. Thanks Chris for recommending them.

I had a pretty bad experience with Adorama.com. Buyers beware! If I were a millionaire, I'd buy the place, fire everybody, and just shut the place down.
BHphoto.com, on the other hand, has always been helpful, friendly, reasonable, and straightforward. Haven't had a chance yet to try some of the sponsors of DVInfo.net (I plan to), but I can say from experience that Varizoom has been great to deal with. So has Light Wave. |

FS or trade VX2000 w less than 5 hrs
As it turns out, I've sold my first screenplay and will not have time to pursue my smaller projects. I bought this system in August for some film shorts and am happy to give someone (perfect for a startup film maker) a good deal. I will not split up the package.
* VX2000 - less than five hours on it with original packaging * Kenko .65 Wide Angle lens (Never used) * UV, Polarize and Flo filters * additional 8 hr battery (NP 970?) * G4 867 with super driver (DVD Burner) and 384 MB RAM w/ original packaing * FCP 2.0 registerable copy (with FCP book by Lisa B.) * Harmon Kardon sticks/Sub speakers * Beachtek XLR adapter * Glide Cam CamPal There are full copies of Final Draft, Photoshop 6 and Premier 6 for evaluation purposes only loaded on the Mac. New, this cost me over 7000.00 All of this equipment is near perfect to perfect condition. I even have the original CD-Rs and DVD-Rs that came with the system. I'm asking 5900.00 with buyer to pay shipping and insurance (required) or feel free to pick it up in Dallas. Cash or Postal Money Orders. My price is firm and I MAY trade for a new or slightly used GL1 and cash. Contact me at nashtx@yahoo.com Last edited by Wayde Gardner; November 22nd, 2001 at 11:51 AM. |

Congratulations on selling your screenplay!! That's a major career turning point and I wish you the best. Way to go!
Folks, his package is an excellent, like new all-in-one production bundle for a very good price. Who will jump on this? |

Thanks Wayne,
I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thank the Japanese for the bullet train, like a plane on rails. Makes the trip a little bareable.

Would be nice if it were formatted in a "hands on" way instead of just giving answers...you know, guiding people to arrive at the right answers. For instance, you're just given an objective (Shooting in low light), then given combinations of methods of shooting in low light (gain adjustment, changing the exposure, etc.), which the student goes out and actually does, then comes home, plugs it into the TV and compares the results of the different methods. Then, follow up with advice from the pros on what methods they use.
I get disappointed by a lot of the training books available now. They shoot for the quick answer solution which works well some of the time, but not always. I'd rather really learn how to use my XL-1, editing software, etc. inside and out. Been trying to do that on my own now. Coming up with self-designed tests. Hard to know what to do sometimes without a little guidance. |
