Camcorders: Sony HDR-SR11 or Canon HG10
sonyHDR SR11 @ $619, free s&h.
by randy238 - 4/8/08 11:37 AM In reply to: Cost by rancinebFound this price today on Sonic Cameras site: $619, free S&H. Have seen nothing close to that on any other site. Anybody have experience with this outfit? Most prices for the SR11 are in the $1000 +/- 100. I'm skeptical of deep discounts.
Sony HDR-SR11
by JayVeeCee - 4/8/08 12:11 PM In reply to: sonyHDR SR11 @ $619, free s&h. by randy238I would not be surprised this is a "come on".
If you have a way, ask somebody from the website what is included in the price.
"ProfessionalCamera.com & Razzphoto.com" are also in the same scam.
Good luck. The lowest price i saw was in Costco. I got it for about $1050 plus tax. Last time I check, it was no longer available.
Purchased Last Week
by rancineb - 4/8/08 12:57 PM In reply to: Sony HDR-SR11 by JayVeeCeeI bought the Sony at Best Buy last week for $1130 and declined the extended warrenty. I read about Best Buy's service plans and from everything I saw from information and people's experiences, seems more like a headache then something useful.
So far the camera has been great. Still reading about it and how to use all the features. The quality has been great so far and I'm just looking at the LCD on the camera. I can't wait to take some videos and download them and start editing to get a real feel for the quality and ease of use. So far in the short time I've used it, I'm happy.

by JayVeeCee - 4/8/08 1:17 PM In reply to: Purchased Last Week by rancinebCongratulations to both of us.
I got mine yesterday from Costco.
Tip/note - a 4 gig Sandisk Ultra II (Memory Stick Duo Pro) indicated it will last for over an hour of HD video.
Since I could download from memory directly to my desktop, I prefer to use this for convenience.
Good luck to you and your new toy. ... JVC
You're nuts...
by alexacker - 4/8/08 5:48 PM In reply to: Purchased Last Week by rancinebThe $139 extended warranty basically means that if your camcorder breaks down in 4 yrs or less, you'll either get (a) your existing cam fixed/replaced if broken or (b) you'll get a new cam if the SR11 is discontinued in before 2012. My Magellan GPS broke down at the 3 3/4 yr mark and BB gave me a brand new GPS for the $25 my wife bought the Protection Plan 3 3/4 yrs ago. Ever since then, I buy everything through them JUST to get get the warranty.
Sonic Cameras
by joeyn12004 - 4/19/08 2:46 PM In reply to: sonyHDR SR11 @ $619, free s&h. by randy238On March 31st I ordered this camera and I received the package about a week later. The only problem was that the camera was not in the package. Instead of the camera there was a can of beer!!!. I have been in contact with Sonic Cameras and they have filed a claim with UPS. I am working with them and giving them the benefit of the doubt to see if this will be resolved and I will get my camera. Also, the price they advertised at that low price is not for an american market. I ordered on at a little over $1000 but there were a lot of extras. It is April 19th and I still don't have my camera.I will give an update when this is resolved as I am still giving them a chance to resolve this issue.
SONIC CAMERAS ALERT !!
by randy238 - 4/20/08 7:57 AM In reply to: Sonic Cameras by joeyn12004Sorry to hear of your experience. If I were you, I would be sure to check with UPS to ask if they actually have an investigation in process.
Also check with whatever credit card, bank, or other agencies involved in the payment process. It seems to me the credibility of the supplier is suspect. CNET members should be alerted as well as the BBB. When I checked with them, i.e., Better Business Bureau, they said they had heard of the company, but had nothing to report. Your situation deserves more publicity and you deserve applause for bringing it to light. Harken to the old warning, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't."
Dishonest vendors.
by JayVeeCee - 4/20/08 6:26 PM In reply to: SONIC CAMERAS ALERT !! by randy238I believe it is imperative to have a "never ending" thread of dishonest practices and vendors involve.
And we could start here, right now,
Name the vendor, one line at a time, and what you believe was dishonest or unfair practices.
We could classify the thread by types of products, camera, camcorder, GPS, etc.
To above poster...
by whizkid454 - 4/21/08 12:59 PM In reply to: SONIC CAMERAS ALERT !! by randy238This isn't the thread to start the chain of vendor annoyances. This thread is about the Canon HG10 vs the Sony SR11. Please either start your own discussion thread or continue one of the many started previously on the issue of bad sellers. Thanks.

They are total scam/bait and switch people. The probably never had what you wanted in the first place and just wanted you to spend more money on crappy stuff.
