I'm looking at buying a Sony HVR-A1U or a Canon GL2 online and found that a site called expresscamera.com has prices that are $600+ cheaper than other sites, and they seem to good to be true. They have testimonials and stuff, and warranties, but I don't want to order a Canon GL2 and get a "Canan" GL2, if you know what I mean.

Has anyone bought anything from them? Are they reliable?

Are you sure you mean expresscamera.com and not expresscameras.com? expresscamera.com just seems to be a search site, whereas expresscameras.com exists seems to be a camera store.

Unfortunately, with cameras it's usually the case that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

I've never used it. However:
Panasonic is a trusted camera maker
it has 3 CCD's
it has manual controls
it has a mic input

It looks like a fine camera. I really like shoulder mount cameras so that's a plus in my opinion. Is a "PAL" camera what you're looking for?

DO NOT buy from expresscameras.com, they are a "grey market" dealer and sony will NOT honor warranties, rebates, or special offers with products from that site!

go to www.camcorderinfo.com, they have a list of authorized and non-authorized dealers, the thread on non-authorized dealers is full of horror stories and expresscameras is specifically mentioned in that thread.

you can't go wrong with B&H.
