Thanks! I just received my second refund from Amazon...together the two refunds have come to a little over $100 in the last month.

Just bought one for $674.88. I don't think any other (genuine) merchant can beat this price.
Ok. Congrats for you who bought for this price at Amazon. Now its officially OUT OF STOCK.
BUT.. shows New Stock will ship by Dec. 24. Not a bad deal.. you could lock at this price...& if you get better deal you could always cancel, Amazon only charges your CC when it ships.

Ouch. I don't know how I missed this--seeing that I've been monitoring the deals on the HV20 (as well as other items in my Amazon cart) for the last two weeks. I was debating between going with B&W's $750 (with the $75 gift card) and Amazon's $705, but $674 would have been a no brainer.
In fact, I was ready to buy it this morning at $705, but it's gone.
Ok, how does this Amazon refund work? I bought my HV20 about a week ago for $709 (sold and shipped by Amazon). Now it is for sale on Amazon for $697.88 (sold and shipped by Electronics Express) - which is a little more then what sa_abcdef shows it was yesterday. So, will Amazon Refund based on a low price of a third-party seller, such as Electronics Express??? Or, if I call Amazon at the 30th day from which I bought my HV20 will they tell me the lowest price it's ever been in that 30-day period and refund me the difference? Or do I have to tell them the exact time and what that low price was??? If I called Amazon right now and told them it was "$674.88 @ Amazon 4:00PM PST SUNDAY 12/16/07" would they honor that? I've never taken advantage of Amazon's refund policy. Thanks! Looking forward to posting some footage - once I get my firewire cable![]()

Last Update Dec 17 : Price is now 697.88 @ Amazon.
Amazon will not refund for purchases thru third party. To PriceMatch refund from amazon, you should buy from amazon. And you will have upto 30 days from purchase date for Price Match.
I got mine for 705, called, got the refund. Also, I opened an Amazon credit card, ended up getting the camera out the door for 644. Woot!
Amazon will Pricematch /Refund only if Amazon drops the price. Will not apply if you do/did purchase from a third party seller. How to Instructions :

Just an update Dec 17 1:00PM PST: Amazon price raised to $749.99. Congrats to guys who grabbed at $688.88 earlier. You have a lucky new year.
$699 now, 5:50 pm EST (through Marcus Audio Video on Amazon)
yeah but do you trust Marcus Audio Video, the merchant who is offering that low price?

Good point. That's why I'm waiting to get mine at B&H.
After missing the Amazon deal, I went ahead with B&H. Overnight is free, so I should get it today. I'm pretty happy as is, but does B&H offer any kind of protection if the price or offer drops?
Does the low price have to be in effect at the time I email or call? Or can I tell them it was $674.88 @ Amazon 4:00PM PST SUNDAY 12/16/07 as mentioned in post #2?
Wow! I actually got my refund! I emailed Amazon yesterday requesting a refund of $34.12 - the difference between what I paid of 709 and the lowest price mentioned above of 674.88! They just emailed me this morning saying they will refund my credit card $34.12! Cool! Thanks for all the info, guys & gals!
Ordered mine on Dec 8 for $711.58 ... with free overnight shipping.
Since the 8th was a Saturday it didn't ship until Monday ... but by that time the price had dropped to $700.15.
I took a shot at the latest price of $674.88 ... wrote to them yesterday ... three days after that price was posted.
Got my confirmation this morning .... my price was reduced by $25.27.
So .... $674.88 with free overnight shipping.
For items like this you can't beat Amazon ... the 30 day price protection program is a real deal maker.
UPDATE : Dec 19, 10:00 PM PST Amazon price is $689.88 + Free Next Day shipping.
This is great Price, Get them Quick. This will probably go up soon.

Guys who already purchased, Call / Mail for Price match (See instructions above). Even if price goes up - you can tell them the price was $689.88 at Dec 19, 10:00 PM PST.
I was just about to post this as my 1st post!
Way to steal my thunder! lol j/k of course
I've been contemplating it for 2 days and thought I missed out on a deal but asa it came up I ordered 1 and took the 1 day shipping!
Didn't want to take the chance and miss it...
Also, I bought a bag off Ebay for it. I already have a large backpack for my Rebel XTi slr and my HV20 will fit in it so I got a Kata GDC S-312 for $35 for when I want a light load....
Now, if I can just find a deal on some good DV Tapes....
