Looking for a good deal on a mid-range video editing board (ex. Pinnacle DV500 Plus)

[Gorby911]

Anyone knows a good source to get a bargain on a new / used good digital editing card? My first choice would be Pinnacle DV500 Plus but I would consider any equivalent in quality / options card. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

As an option, maybe MATROX RT2500 for $ 779[\b]

The RT2500 is a good card (I own one), but also check ou the Canopus DV RaptorRT. It's a couple hundred cheaper. The RT2500 has analog ins and outs, while the Raptor only has analog outs. But if yer editing miniDV and using Firewire then not having analog inputs is no problem.
