This is warm if you missed out on BF. IIRC, new Panisonic ones were going for $130 AR.

I have not ordered from ecost but decided not to due to the many complaints I saw here and on other boards about them. Anandtech ratings for them are 100% (3 votes) thumbs down. FW is 2.6 out of 5 (30 votes) and resellerratings is 6.5. I read of problems with rebates, returns, customer service, etc.

You might want to read this thread and the threads referenced in it for some opinions.

To be fair, there are people who have ordered and had no problems. I just thought it deserved a mention. It's probably like Tiger Direct - some people have nothing but bad experiences with them and some have no problems at all.

The image quality doesn't seem very good, but I'm watching the video through the RCA input on my TV tuner since I have no firewire cable yet. Looks good on the LCD though.

eCost leaves out the part that warranty is only valid if purchased through authorized resellers,
and 9 out of 10 times eCost is NOT an authorized reseller. That means NO WARRANTY!!!!

Best to check with manufacturer prior to purchase to see if your eCost purchase is covered.
Most likely it is not. Get it from the manufacturer in writing. Sharp is a great company, so unless
something is very fishy with these eCost Sharp refurbs, Sharp would probably take care of you.

Or you can do like the rest of us that bought products from eCost advertised as having a warranty,
and after it breaks or arrives broken have the warranty center laugh at you, while eCost tells you to
basically eat dirt, not their problem.

eCost is to warranties as Tiger is to rebates. You never get one, and there is a good chance you'll need one.

This camera sucks. Movement causes video to pixellate. I was about to sell it on ebay when I saw that they only go for $50. SHould have bought one there.

Also, the warranty form says it's 30 days. The eCost site says 90 day. Wtf?!?!

wink look at completed auctions not auctions with 5 days left. They're going for 150-170 on ebay used/open box, if you still wanna dump it.

if anybody has this, can you confirm if it has firewire ? the ad says not, but i think i've seen a camera very similar if not the same, and that had firewire onboard

I have the VL-NZ50 and it has Firewire. I haven't been able to find anything that doesn't have the U on it so I think that's a color code because I believe there's another model that's black or something. This is pure speculation however as to the last letter. Wanted to sell mine since we've since gotten a Sony, but damn didn't realize they were going for so low on eBay.
