Title: Another "Holy Shit" Woot.
Post by: John Shaw on January 21, 2009, 12:10:25 PM
They have a 720p camcorder for 130 bucks.

http://www.woot.com/

I won't post any more Woots, because I don't want people thinking that I'm shilling for them or spamming, but that's an awesome deal and I figure someone would appreciate it.

Hmmm. I wonder if Woot has a partner program.

Do they sell women? OR Britney Spears?

I too am a fan of woot (and shirt.woot) and check it almost daily, however I have never actually bought anything there since I'm broke.

Well, I'd love to do it so long as Ian doesn't get crabby.

Seems like I might be annoying him lately, though.

Maybe someone else can start it. I'd Sticky it if it got popular.

Why not just bump this thread whenever you find a good one?

I was really tempted by today's woot. But lack of fundage prevented the purchase  :( I am hoping that is remedied before the next woot off.

Well, the one for the other day was for an 8 gig SDHC card and we bought two. We were gonna use them in Mels camera and use that for shooting video, but we went ahead today and pulled the trigger on that camcorder.

The only bummer is that it doesn't seem to have a mic plug. :-(

My lack of funding prevents this as well, but also...I just can't bring myself to get things like this mostly because I can live without them.  I want them, and I like them, but I have credit card bills to pay.   :shock:

I wanted this myself but I have bigger things to get and I already have a video camera.   Anyone who sees good deals on Canon Digital SLR's let me know

I check it every day, so I'll let ya know.

I have a video camera, but DV is old and busted, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna move forward on this TV show thing and would like to have something with better resolution. This cam does 720p, but I'll probably have it set for 480p. Cable access ain't exactly high end, and it'll probably be the best looking thing out there.

Gah! Pressure!

Not sure yet, but it will probably be a couple months. We've got financial issues right now, so I can't go off half cocked.

I've been burned before beware of shitty product clearing.

Paying attention to brand names would be a good idea.

I think I missed out on that one.  Which sucks, I'd have gotten some.  Now all I see is a fucking car seat.   :shock:

I don't know, Windows tends to only add $25-50 to the price.

I wonder about the LCD screen.
