In that price range you're going to have a hard time finding the
essentials. If you can get the DVC20 for that price, go for it. Just
don't get sucked in by the scam websites out there - that's a $1200
to $1,500 camera.

Check the sellers on sites like www.resellerratings.com; the scam sites are usually pretty obvious from the ratings there.
They are not a retailer - they are a comparison search engine.
That price listed is from expecam.com and they are one of the
scam websites.
Use B&H prices as the benchmark. If you find a price much lower
then it's probably a scam. Buy from a LEGITIMATE retailer. There
are plenty. B&H Photo, Adorama, Calumet, Helix Camera, KEH.com,
BuyDig.com (Beach Camera), 17th Street Photo, Hunt's Photo &
Video to name a few. Better to spend a few hundred more and
actually get what you ordered than save several hundred and spend
months on the phone and sending e-mails - trying to find out
where your camera is.
