Some deals on Camcorders

There's some good rebates on different consumer camcorders that are running (some are up today!) The Canon HF21 and the Sony HDR-CX500V seem like particularly good deals. Note: if you're looking at the Canon's I'd recommend the HF21 over the R10 and R100.

I've listed B & H and Amazon prices, which in all but two cases are the same. Note that Amazon no longer directly sells some of the models.
