Sorry, for some reason this went onto the 'Chatter' forum - unless it was user error!

Ordinarily, when asked this question, my answer is an unequivocal NO!

But...can anyone explain why the prices from this retailer are so low? Does anyone have any experience/dealings with them?

Sony HVR-V1P (??? - should this not be V1E?) for $3805 inc shipping!

(quoted price £1866 - even with VAT added this brings it to £2192, but when you get to checkout it quotes the dollar price which, at latest exchange rates, even with import taxes should still be a bargain!) - price at Preston's = £2699

Sony HVR-A1e - £814 GBP - price at Preston's = £1600

Z1e - £2176 GB£ - price at Preston's = £3288

Ha-ha, sorry Gavin,

Busy trying to find out exactly when Sony's press launch for the XDCAM EX is (due this month).
