are these used camcorders warrantied...? At $170.00, they should be.

My purchase was dead on arrival. I returned and was given a full refund. I believe they come with a 30 day minimum warranty

I spent $130 on my Hi8 camcorder and have been using it constantly for playing back my old tapes for dubing onto DVD. It works well with no problems. Mine was guaranteed for 30 days for my money back but it still works fine. These are old cameras but it is the only option available to transfer old Hi8 tapes to DVD so you take your chances.

They are not. I believe the prices are jacked up because it is a rare commodity & they know people need them since it is very difficult to watch the videos without them...sad

I went on line to try and help you find more information. There is a number for Service Support(which had mentioned the warranty in it). That number is:800-659-3854. I also read that the camera is covered on a one year warranty unless it is a refurbished camera, then it is only under a 90 day warranty. Give them a call. If this isn't the correct department, I am sure they should be able to help you get what you are looking for. I wish you luck. Please let me know what you find out. I hope I have been of some help to you.

J&R; are really selling them half off... maybe it is a refurbished unit or with cosmetic damage, I'm not sure. I paid $600 for mine from Amazon itself and it was worth every penny.

The pair I received for $130 are real...most are used and these are discontinued because the studio 2.0 are out now...with all tech prices eventually drop as upgrades flow into market

check out dpreview.com in the Nikon forum. Seems like all cameras thru #3114394 have the defect. I think this represents ~2.5 months' worth of sales, *plus* whatever is in the inventory pipeline.

I don't really know but in all my buying of cameras from the us I've probably bought about 5 none have ever had a fault on them so never have had to check for warranty, most warranties are only good for 12 months and if you buy a new one and a decent make you might never have a problem also amazon is good if you need to return something. If you want a warranty buy from your own country and pay top dollar. mine only cost 270 with postage and a bargain compared to other places works great. jeff

Thanks again david.I remember reading some of the flash based camcorders record on .MOD files, which are somewhat hard to work with.This will be my first camcorder purchase in a long while (my last was a sony digital-8...), so your advice is well needed and appreciated.

1 year. But you can buy the extended warranty. I don't think you should though. If the camcorder is going to be broken, it will likely come broken, and you can return to amazon no problem. The camcorder is quite sturdy. I've dropped it a few times and it's still okay. :) It seems really flimsy because it's so light, but it actually is quite well built.

My purchase was new so I can only respond about that purchase....Yes I did have the full manufactures warranty. However I have had no need to use any part of that warranty. The camera worked as advertised, even down to the minor issue with reds that I was suppose to experience. That was even solved by just working with the camera more.

I believe for each country Warranty could be slightly different. I bought camcorder in US and on the Warranty insert says "US Only". Alek S.

I paid $55 for mine. That's probably the answer to your question! If it was $155 I'd be more irrate! These cameras are made in China and are cheap. Mine works "good enough" so I just go with what I have. Good luck!

My JVC does the same exact thing. It's only a year and a half old and has never been dropped or anything. I've hardly used it and always take good care of it. I'm beginning to see that this is happening to others with the same camera. I called JVC and they told me to send it in for an "evaluation" to the tune of $60. Then he told me the minimum repair cost for this camera is another $150! I think we should all keep calling JVC until they do something about a problem that is obviously not isolated. I paid over $400 for this camera. The camera was good but JVC needs to stand by their product. My JVC does the same exact thing.

Suggest passing on this 2008 vintage camera in any event. No Specs, Camera Views Questionable, + a 2008 ( ANCIENT ) Review By M. E. Belanger on October 4, 2013 This appears to be the Corporate Gambit, 'Gimme your MONEY'. SELLING CORPORATION DID NOT RESPOND to questions concerning this product... No specs, a review from the year 2008 (ANCIENT in Tech time), articles concerning false reviews (a felony crime in US), ... ... ... $1199.99 + taxes... NO NO NO NO Yeah, I'll purchase this camera based on this information. NO NO NO NO NO Notice how MSRP's have risen to show a greater discount for the unsuspecting consumers, us??? + + + I enjoy shopping Amazon.com, &, most of the time, I even smile as I let go of a few $$$... Feels, most of the time that has gotten a fair shake purchasing through Amazon, & didn't have to sort through a group/flock/gaggle of retail store commissioned SALES staff/'vultures', which is always a treat (facetiously). + + + Caveat Emptor [Latin, Let the buyer beware.], "the principle that the buyer alone is responsible for checking the quality and suitability of goods before a purchase is made"...

A scam. The camera is out of stock at the regular price of $2700 for the body only. Why would any real dealer sell it for less? I once got tricked when I was starting out by one of these scam shops. These guys should all be in prison. Check reseller ratings online. They'll probably be listed with many acts of fraud.

I would contact Sony direct and ask what the process is if after you receive the camcorder for fulfilling the warranty.

If they're used, you won't get the warranty. I bought mine new via Amazon and have used the warranty once since.
