• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

HD cam for under $800 may not last long

That is strange. A little insider's secret - due to competition and the internet, retailers' profit margins on most electronic items are miniscule these days. The prices you see on most cameras and electronics stuff is not very far from the wholesale price. Whenever you see a price that is hundreds less than everyone else, something is fishy - it means they are likely selling it at or below wholesale and would not be making money on it if it was a legit sale. And so, this usually screams 'scam'. I'm surprised at the offical Amazon label on that item, but scammers can do a lot of things nowadays....

Price mistakes happen all the time . Why do you think that sites like fatwallet.com and slickdeals.net are on fire ? I didn't have to think twice about placing an order for this camera. I would have rather had the 30 gig HD model but for $799 no tax, free 2nd day ship I couldn't say no. I just hope that my uncle likes his Xmas gift :)
 
Im personally not too keen on this or any other Hard Drive or DVD-based recorder. It immediately compresses it to MPEG2, so if you plan on editing video, just think twice before buying this type of camera...
