ok now this happened.
a few days back i asked jvc sg where to get the ex555. they replied that funan challenger and giant hypermarts carry that model. i went down to funan but there wasnt.
so i told jvc sg that challenger informed me they dont carry jvc products anymore.
jvc sg emailed me today at around 7pm saying they were very sorry about the miscommunication and offered to sell me ex555 at $899!
i received the email like 2 hours after i got the camcorder. that feels like throwing $100 down the drain!
i will try to get a refund with giant tmr. no idea if they have this kind of policy. $100 can almost get me a 64gb sd card!
