AG-HVX200 Wild pricing?

Confused:

http://www.shopcartusa.com/Product/AGHVX200/Electronics~TV_Video~Camcorders/Panasonic_AG-HVX200/PT_Y/?ic_campID=98

The price variation for this unit is all over the place $1649 to $5500 -- at first I thought it was because some packages include P2 cards, but that isn't the case.

Where are you folks getting your HVX200's? And P2 cards for that matter?

Thanks, Rob.

There are a bunch of scam houses out there. Make sure your dealer is an authorized Panasonic dealer, otherwise your warranty and your rebates will not be valid. Check out dvxuser.com.

Any price below $5,000 is very suspect. Also, keep in mind that if you buy from an authorized dealer before March 31st, you'll get a free 8gb P2 card and the HVX Book via mail-in-rebate.

As for recommended authorized dealers, I highly recommend Specialized Communications. Their website is: http://www.spec-comm.com/store/
