I researched the Sanyo HD2 carefully prior to purchasing mine from glfx.com. Some stores had the model cheaper but on checking them out they turned out, in every case, to be import models without the US warrantee and, in many cases, without the docking station (almost essential for this product). I ordered using Google checkout, upgrading to 3d day shipping, but was further upgraded by Google to next day air (at a $22 extra charge) Glfx was able to immediately straighten things out with Google checkout and switched me back and credited my account for the accidental overage. The camera arrived in only two days and is performing even better than anticipated The included software actually works to edit video, add text, and burn a DVD video which, when played on a progressive scan DVD player is nearly HD. Alternatively the oputput can be returned to the SD card and, through the docking station provide an edited 780P video to a HD monitor via HDMI or component input. Glfx was very easy to work with, provided extra service when there was a glitch with Google checkout and delivered ahead of schedule. Be careful to make sure that when you buy a camera you're getting the exact model you expect. Thanks glfx
