Either a GS-320 or a HV-20. I would go with the HV-20 because its HD.

So do you get off on making yourself look like an idiot? Refurbished isn't new.

works like its new... i know what i'm doing because i just faced the same situation. HV20's are nearly impossible to find new or refurbished[for a reasonable price]... or hell even used. on the HV20/30/40 forum they recommend using sammy's to buy HV30's.

AND he never said it had to be new...

I get what your saying, but the thing was sent back in because something was wrong with it. When i want a camera, i want it to be fresh. Someone could have ran like 30 types of tapes through it, charged the battery goofy or who knows what else. Its not like a car where you get to try it before you buy it, refurbished electronics are kinda like win or loose.

 

[Josh N.]

just because it was sent back does not mean there was something wrong with it. people send them back for various reasons like they didn't need them and if they resell them they can't put it as new so its refurbished. plus their whole job is to fix the camera therefore it should be in good condition. but i understand what your saying its all preference and devin never stated his so whatever lets let him make the decision now

 

[Brian Boston]

Do they give you any warranty with the camera or no? I bought a refurbished cell phone, all problems were on me and my provider would not allow me to pay for insurance for the phone. I'd rather spend the extra 50-100 for the new camera with warranty than one that you have no idea why its refurbished.

 

[Josh N.]

30 day warranty with a warranty card and they offer insurance on the website you can buy. they recommend if you dont return it after the 30 days to contact the main company [canon]. and ha lets stop arguing its devins call not ours lol

brian if you see this could you help me out with something in the fisheye thread thanks

 

[dpbailey]

ok brian i believe you what is the best video camera i can buy for 550$

 

[jay hendon]
