nice. I've been waiting for Amazon's price to go down (usual price $650) to pull the trigger. Now Amazon has it for $635.99, but this is a better deal (same no tax(CA) and free shipping. I just had to pull the trigger. I also got the Acer 8.5 Laptop at J&R yesterday because of the 12% CashBack. Now it's starting to hurt! I have to stop looking for deals for a while.
I signed up and followed the JandR link through live search. But when I go to checkout, I don't see anything that gives me confidence I'm getting the Cash Back.

The HF10 would be a better option. It has 16GB internal memory. I think both HF models are better than the HG10. But I am no expert. I just got an HV30 and use it for 1 week before it was stolen
The HV30 holds this gold medal in HD camcorders right now. Really, if your getting a one I strongly suggest you get an HV20 or HV30. They use MiniDV tapes but as far as video quality goes, they cannot be beaten.
All the professional reviews I've seen give hats off to a camera like the HF100 as having just as good an HD picture as any other consumer HD camera. That's why I'm curious as to why some are suggesting one over another. In terms of picture quality, this one seems as good as the other options, and for the price, it's a great deal.

The HV20/HV30 have tape noise issues from what I've read
Ok, I have seen many of these j and r deals with the 12% off base on live.com rebate. If the deal requires live. com rebate, then why not use the 25% rebate through eBay for live.com? Or is this for people who have used up their 25%? Or is %25 dead again?
edit: eBay/live is at %15 currently. OP's deal is better. I ordered my hf100 through epay when it was 25% that is why i was asking. But for currently, this is a hot deal.
I have this camcorder and can recommend it. I like having everything on flash cards and at the time it was 200 cheaper than the HF10 with the builtin 16 megs. I bought the class 6 Kinston 8 gig SD card for 32 bucks on Amazon(and Buy.com). This gives about 45 minutes at the highest quality. That card plus the 2 gig I had gives me plenty of recording at a good price.

But it should show up in your Live Search CashBack account page within 2 days. I bought this from J&R and the CashBack showed up within a couple of hours.
If you read the reviews on this camera, it's generally said that the AVCHD compression yields picture quality similar to HDV camcorders. I.e., this camera does not suffer from inferior video quality due to poor compression or over-compression, as the first couple generations of AVCHD products did.
Ok, so did anybody that ordered this from JandR get it shipped yet?
I had a call on my home phone today from JandR saying I had to call in and "confirm" the order. I tried calling (3 minutes before they were supposed to be closed) but I got a message saying to call back in the morning.
Is this some type of ripoff joint now. gotta listen to them try to sell me memory cards or something? I haven't ordered from JandR since I was a kid ordering car stereo stuff over the phone.
I ordered it on Wednesday and they didn't shipped till Friday. So on Friday I called them and said if they can't ship by the end of the day Friday, I'll cancel the order. They Immediately shipped the my HF100 and I got the tracking number.
I don't know why they do this kind of stunt, but probably worth $75 CashBack
