NEW sony HDV-Z1U for 1399U$?!

Dear all,

Very glad to become a member

I am looking for a Sony HDV-Z1U and visited B&H photo video web site where I found the Z1U for 4600U$.

A good mate of mine suggested to check out BestPriceCameras.com and I was surprised to find

a HDV- Z1 for 1399U$

What I can't figure out is whether it's the same camera, it sure looks the same, even the product information is the same.

Is there maybe a difference between HDV-Z1U and HDV-Z1? The U is missing, what am I missing

If it's the same camera, how comes there is such a huge price difference?

If Not... What is the difference between the two cameras?

Has anyone dealt with both stores?

Here some of my research;

B&H Z1U = 4600U$

B&H FX1 = 3349U$

NexTag Z1U = 3579U$

NexTag FX1 = 2644U$

BestPriceCameras Z1 (no U) = 1399U$

BestPriceCameras FX 1 = 1099U$

I am about to buy a Phenom housing from Jim Kegley, JDK Designs Inc who told me; Z1u's, believe me, are not available for the price you have seen!

Is it all a trick

Is there anyone out there who can advice me?

Looking forward hearing from you!

Until then, all the best.

They may have one of the lowest reseller ratings in history.

Jim is right....

Buy from B&H, they're reputable. I've bought from them for years.

No it's a scam. Basically for that price, even if they do have it and will sell it to you, you likely get nothing else - like a battery, software, etc. And I'd ask about a warranty as it's probably gray market also.

Agreed. Run screaming to B&H.

Gosh! Thank you guys!!!

I had a look at resellerratings.com and am glad I DID!

I can't believe these croocks are still operating after reading some of the ratings!

I will buy my camera from B&H

Once again, THANK YOU!
