b&h photo normaly have the lowest prices (that are legit). plus they have great service
be careful not to buy from expresscamera or one of its several other names. they will rip you off. if the price seems to good to be true it probably is, research reviews for the company and normaly something about it being a scam will come up.

Be sure to check this site before buying a camera.  Some sites are sooo shady especially the ones in Brooklyn.

not true.  There are some shady sites on price grabber.  Actually like half the sites that showed up when I searched HVX200 were shady.  All had bad reviews on reseller ratings.

what? the HVX200 retails for $5200 and you get a free 16gb P2 card from all authorized panasonic dealers. 

All I was trying to say is that some of the sites that show up on price grabber aren't legit.  Price grabber doesn't provide reliable sites and prices.
