Bargain Panasonic HDC-SD600K 3MOS HD Camcorder

[UnknownVT]

At Amazon -

Panasonic HDC-SD600K 3MOS HD Camcorder
used "Like New" $408

This is basically the very highly regarded Panasonic HDC-TM700 (with fewer features) that sells for $900 low street price......

The Panasonic HDC-TM700 (link to review) was the top pick of HD camcorders at ConsumerSearch - where they review the reviews - ie: survey the available reviews, rate them then come to a consensus.

CamcorderInfo.com 2010 Camcorder of the Year: Panasonic HDC-TM700 (link to their very detailed review)

Read the "most helpful" Amazon user review on the Panasonic HDC-SD600 for the differences.

Seems like a bargain to me at $408 for one of the highest quality consumer HD camcorders, when most of them are in the $800-$1K mark.....

My video ambitions are lower so I am happy with my Kodak Zi8 and Zx3 -
but I thought some might like to know about this.
Currently there are still 2 used "Like New" for $408 sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals.

Please let me know what you think?

EDIT to ADD -
reading some of the more recent user reviews on Amazon it appears that during early March some got this camcorder for $299 new! so perhaps the price of $408 may not be such a big bargain after all..... Sorry.

FWIW - this test footage looked very impressive:

Despite my lack of videophile ambitions I think I would have bought one at $299.........
