When you *do* find the best price, please share the love. I'm a bit of a budding independent filmmaker (of sorts).

Just got one off ebay for $1650 brand new, not refurbished, with all accessories, 1 year warranty, and got the next day after payment. I think this is just about the best deal one could hope for on this camera. The cheapest online store ended up to be around $100 more then that plus you have to wait for a $250 rebate.

The 'bad' experience of this purchase was the initial shock after sending out the payment. There is a LOT of scams going on at ebay, especially with this camera. I was really scared that I would get scammed, even with paypal, my cc, and ebay (somewhat) behind me.

All-in-all I'm glad I did purchase from this individual as they where VERY quick with the order and didn't leave me handing around wondering when it would come. Plus everything seems to be in order.. Everything was in its packaging and the warranty card says USA.
