Looking to purchase an FX1 at DVinfo.net

Tim Davison · February 4th, 2009, 09:30 AM

I am watching a few items on ebay but wondered if there were any other good resources (I'm based in the UK).

Thanks!

It's always tricky buying broadcast gear of e-bay in my opinion. FX1's might not be so bad as there are a little more 'domestic'

I've seen a particular Z1 relisted on there several times, I wonder if the buyer wanted to see it before buying and the seller seemed iffy.

I'm thinking about selling my VX2000 and Z1 as I now have an EX1, but selling them will be a pain I don't want to courier them.

I can't seem to find the classifieds forum, where is this?

Have a look at Prestons they always have a good stock of 2nd user HDV cameras:HDRFX7E - HVR-V1E - SONY HVRZ1E - SONY DSRPD170P - SONY PDWF330L1

Great, thanks Gary will check that out. I'm looking for 2nd hand really to try and save some money so if anyone else out there is thinking of selling just let me know :)

Tim,

If you're dealing with Prestons, it'd be best to phone up - I don't think the website is as up to date as the B&Hs and Amazons of this world!

The staff are helpful and friendly (and generous - John Preston threw in free XLR leads with my V1 - not a huge financial hit for him, but it was a nice gesture).

I think you can't see the classified forum until you've been a member for a bit, and have posted some minimum number of posts. Not sure what the exact cutoffs are (maybe a month, no idea about the post number).
