Camcorder clearance at COMPUSA

[SteveS]

After reading about a Sony deal at COMPUSA I decided to check out what they had on clearance. They have a number of never opened clearance items and demo items. For example, they had the JVC GR-SX851U for a clearance price of $149 (new, unopened box). While this is VHS-C (not my favorite), it is Super VHS and a heck of a price for a camcorder. Here are the specs:

i was in the edison, nj compusa and i too moticed they has some electronics on sale. i didn;t know whether it was a national thing or not. but the only camcorders i saw on "clearance" were vhs. they also had clearance on some older model digital cameras. i did not see any mini dv's tho. but thats probably becuz if there were any mini dv's...they prolly flew off the shelves.

Hi,

Yes, I saw a few digital camcorders. Not many. And, obviously, not at that kind of price point. Fry's (Phx) IS advertising an RCA miniDV today at $388 (model 9360--only 10X optical zoom). The ones I saw were Panasonic and I think the price was $499. But YMMV.

I may have to run to CUSA this morning. Thanks!

At the Paradise Valley Az store at noon today they had a JVC DVL-805U digital camcorder for $299. The box looked like it had been opened.
