    STAY AWAY!

    Lenses N More Reviews, Ratings and Prices at ResellerRatings

    I don't have any experience with them but a rating of 0.25 / 10 is not a good sign.

    Most of the camera stores you see online with good prices are scams. Always check reseller ratings to see if they are legit.

    For safe online ordering i do all my shopping through B&H Photo and Adorama. I know others like some other stores such as Beach Camera, but I can't vouch for them.

    I have also bought from B&H before and it was a good experience.

    I've read on a camera forum the other day that Broadway photo is bad too, but cant speak about them myself.

    Another vote for B&H or Adorama...fast shipping even to Canada.

    I've read that too...

    If there's a price that seems too good to be true, just Google their company followed by "reviews" and you'll be sure to find any positive or negative comments/reviews about that company.

    Thanks everyone for the head up, i wont be ordering from them.

    As for the camcoreer i want, i was looking at a canon XH-A1, (since it was such a goood price on LnM) but not that is 4g i dont think i will be getting one.

    I am no looking at the Canon Gl2, all the reviews I have read say its a great prosumer camera, and i can get it fro about 1600-1700 new. Big plus.

    I have to do some more looking around but i am thinking this is the camcorder I want

    +1 for BH, ordered from them many times throughout the years, always been very satisfied with their service.

    i started looking around and found a used camcorder on ebay, its in red deer so its in the same province as me (makes for fast shipping) and right now is about 800 cheaper then the cheapest online store.

    Its the canon gl2, its an older modle (a few years) but I have read a ton of reviews and it looks like an awesome camera...

    im 22 minutes away, wish me luck

    so i just noticed that b&h has a used section, i thought i would post incase someone else is looking... from the sounds of it they are a very relable co. so i figure a used camera frm them would be a safe bet....

    Bummer about the sniper.

    Another used place that's been around forever is KEH. I've never bought anything from them but know people who have. Seems like a good place.

    The owner of B&H (Henry Posner) used to be on one of my photography forums. When ever someone would post issues, he would always jump in and help. Seemed like he really did what he could for customer service.

    cool thanks for the head up blue zero....I tell you, picking a camcorder i way harder then i thought, you read a review on this and it says buy that, you read that review and it tells you this is better......

    Im thinking i might put it pn hold and save up for a Canon XH-A1, its supposted to be a wicked camera. I have yet to read a bad review on it..... to bad a used on is 3k....ohh well off to work to save up :)
