I had bought one of these from amazon used for $60, but it was a fake.
After lots of reading from this site, I went ahead and bought a real one from ebay for estore009 for $99
It arrived in 11 days to Texas.
So far, I don't like the real one! It is running V6.8 T2L-KH
1) There is a big difference when comparing the overall screen brightness. The fake model is much brighter
2) Color on the fake model is better. The real one looks pale in color. I made sure both were set to the recommeded settings on the f500LHd page
3) I will need to record more video, but the 5 mins clip i took today was much darker than the fake unit.
4) The tilting lens on the fake model allows one to position where you want it. On the real model, there is a spring that forces it to either be vertical or at angle. No point in between.
I'm now really frustrated... I'd wish companies would make these things here in th USA, so i can test them first before buying!
