ive been lookin into this camera and found it for super cheap...

http://www.bestpricecameras.com/prodetails.aspx?prodid=308260

is that place a scam or is that a legit website to buy it from?

Its a HUGE scam. Always check the reseller ratings website and it'll give you reviews for online stores. Its always best to go completely legitimate when buying an expensive camera like that.

Buy from a Panasonic authorized dealer and you'll be fine. A lot more than the price listed on that site, but you'll have the security knowing you didn't waste your money on a grey market camera.

B&H, Vistek, Henrys (they're a little expensive), Abel Cine, EVS - those are just a few that you can trust.

Good luck with your purchase! It is a great camera.

Nobody on this site use BestPriceCameras.com. You'll get your product but they charge you for every upgrade imaginable.

Wow. Scam-o-rama. In the world of professional video equipment, if it looks too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

Kegan's got it right. Always buy from a reliable source (the most realiable I can think of is B&H Photo).

Oh my there was a pretty large thread a few months ago discussing horror stories and illegitimacy of this exact website. To make a long story short...stay far, far away from this site. These "miracle deals" don't exist...except maybe occasionally through ebay.
