dunesurfer 0 #1 September 11, 2005 Has anyone ever bought or used one of these refurbished sony dv cams from an outlet store? I would like to hear about your experience with one of these, good or bad. I saw a sony HC42, refurbished for $449..... new currently $599 (usd) Thanks for your replies in advance.

Alo1 0 #2 September 11, 2005 I bought a refurbished trv 11 and had nothing but problems. Now it's a glorified battery charger. There is a loose contact somewhere that intermitently turns the camera off and on. Very annoying in freefall. The firewire port was also damaged. Be careful spending any money on a refurbished camera. I personally would'nt do it again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's hoping I don't have the same trouble with the refurbished camera I just bought, or if I do, it manifests itself immediately while still under warranty.

I saw a new (not refurbished) HC42 yesterday for $475, so $449 isn't that great a price for refurbished. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
