Panasonic V550 Camcorder $299 @ Costco

[colonel00]

I know this one is kind of a stretch in regards to "gear" but I have been watching this camcorder as it has recently been released and it appears that Costco has a pretty good deal on it. Below is a link to a thread where camcorders was discussed and a few people discuss the predecessor to this camcorder. At only a half pound, I have a feeling that I might be toting this little guy around quite a bit.
