Step 1
Go to Sanyo.com. This is a must before you buy the camcorder because the company website will have the most informative and more importantly most accurate information about their models. Browse the various models and think about the technology you need. Decide if you are going to make home movies, or simply want to capture a few family moments. These questions will point you in the right direction as to which model will suit you.

Step 2
Check out your local electronics store. Sanyo camcorders are sold at Best Buy, Radio Shack, Circuit City and more. Take an afternoon, go to the store and compare and contrast the Sanyo camcorders with their competitors. Also, be careful not to simply compare price. The old adage of "you get what you pay for" is very apparent in technology as the competition is fierce.

Step 3
Browse community websites like CraigsList.com or AOL and Yahoo chat rooms. These are great places to pick up used cameras at a deep discount. Some people just have to have the latest model. So let their impatience be your gain. Contact them and make them an offer.

Step 4
Utilize auction websites like eBay or Ubid. Some of the best deals on these sites are found in electronics because there is so much competition for each item. The prices can be well below market for new merchandise. Just always make sure that you buy from a reputable seller with high rating. If they have a return policy that is even better.
