Since I haven't made much use of it in the last year and have moved to doing more DSLR recording I figured clearing up inventory wouldn't hurt. I have the listing here on craigslist:

I believe I also have a few unopened miniDV tapes as well. I've kept it well and everything on it works very well. It's an awesome 3CCD camcorder
I can bet your head fits nicely into an Arai RadioFlyer
As for spending 500 on a helmet. I've always viewed it as the helmet is protecting my head, which contains my brain which differentiates me from a brocolli. True that just about any helmet that is more than 200 will probably do fine on the protection part, the extra I've always viewed for the creature comforts. My shoei fits my head wonderfully, is very light and comfortable, and it gives me the amount of airflow I need. This to me is worth the difference in price between say a mid level HJC and a mid level Shoei.
I still am amused that I've converted 2 people from Nikon to Canon. Basically they're diehard Nikon people, I let them use my XSI and then they're like "hey....I like this better...how much did you buy it for?"
