Hi,
Anyone got any experience in buying camcorder from US online web store?
I'm thinking of getting the Cannon FS100 and the price on bestbuy.com is very much cheaper than buying locally. My concerns are warranty and userability. The warranty is not very clear on the website. Anyone know?
Thanks.
sony got such thing as international warranty... but must pay additional
Hmm... how much difference are we talking about?
Got the model wrong. I'm actually considering the Canon HF100. Local retail around S$1600 vs Amazon US$599 vs Bestbuy US$799. Got to throw in another US$100 for tax and delivery. Anyway, I emailed to Bestbuy and they said to opt for the international warranty. However, Amazon seems not to have that international warranty.
I've read that some other Singaporeans actually did buy this model from USA and claimed quality to be good enough to take the risk since there is no tape mechanism. My previous camcorder was a Sony miniDV and I used it for the last 8 years before it snapped due to - you guessed it - a broken tape mechanism.
Sigh...decision, decision, decision.
Hmm... difference around 300sgd... without warranty... but the international warranty cost how much? If still lesser, then worth it. But one thing about buying online. you cannot check the goods before purchase though... So if suay, need send in service once you got the unit...
