Going on Holiday – “Sony Handycam SX43E” might be handy from JB HI FI

Impulse buying is such a good thing, because with impulse buying you get to suffer the guilt only later or then gloat at your new bargain if done properly as  in my case. Its pretty much taking a chance. luckily for me it paid off.

Bargaining at JB HI FI  for a Sony Handycam SX43E ..Oh yeah

Off to holiday soon , so  i was in the city browsing for a camera and sauntered into JB HI FI , saw a couple of models Panasonic  ($393)and sony handy cam($393) with crossed off priceswith sticker on them  telling me to ask the salesperson for a price. I though i will give it a shot  and asked the salesman  what he could offer me  . he said $350 and said the “Sony handy cam”  was the best among the lot and he would choose it for himself , Though the black panasonic model in  the display case was looking quite flash and nice for the same crossed off price  , he said he could not bring that down as cheap as $350

So i  settled with his technical knowledge to choose the sony handycam , but  gave it another shot and asked him to throw a memory card in  as well ( no luck) , but still good  settled with the JB HI FI SALESMAN  FOR $360 with  a 2 Gb memory card thrown in  as well which costs another $19.95 if bought separately ( so it cost me only $10)

It was a “pretty good deal” that saved me approx $40 or even more if you consider buying it from some online sites ( with  the freight charges included  as well)

Creating movies has never been so easy so go ahead  and get a sony handy cam  for your holidays or then to just get creative and make some  home videos. Whether you are the next Stephen Spielberg or just another budding producer director or enthusiast you  will want the “Sony Handycam DCR-SX43E” in your hands when  wanting to capture that   video you so much wanted to record.
