      I went to that store many years ago. They were horribly rude to my wife for browsing and not buying; they almost kicked her out. Those are some SERIOUS people about their business. I love a market economy, but man, that place gave me the creeps.

      I have an HV20 and love it... the quality is pretty much unbeatable at this price. My friend just picked up the HV30 a few weeks back and for the most part, it is very similar to the HV20 (but it can do 30p as well as 24p and a few other upgrades).

      In any case, this is nearly the price I paid for my HV20 about 6 months back.

      If you're looking for a good home HD camcorder, I doubt you'll find anything better out there as far as image quality. Ergonomics are the only weak spot for me, but I was able to get over it.

      Hv30 for $650?! Even cheaper than HV20...
      Did anybody pull the trigger? I am not sure if it's a web error and BH would honor it.

      I have the HV20 and I'm in. Worst case is that it's a web error and I'm stuck with the HV20. Else I sell my HV20 and have a cheap upgrade.
