ive bought everything for a little over 700 and have only ran 3 tapes through it.
it includes
3 batteries. a 10 hour,4 hour,2 hour
a battery charger
a camera bag
all the cables you need
2 lens telephoto and wide angle(although not the best)
and like 3 sony hd tapes.

id like to see around 600 for everything. hopefully

VX1k does come with a viewfinder - it does NOT come with a LCD screen though.  If it lacked a viewfinder as well then I guess it just blows. 

I would recommend staying away from the VX1k - it's affordable and it has a handle, but 1) the quality pretty much sucks compared to whats out there now, 2) its over a decade old and they don't make parts for it anymore, and 3) you can buy much better with your money.

My recommendation?  HV20/30/40.  Save your money, get one of these, and learn to use it - then move up.

GL2 - not a bad starter camera.  Hit up JWenz, he's selling his.

Avoid the GL1 at all costs lol.  No good.
