Found this site from Yahoo. 10D in stock for $1189. They say it carries an US warranty and I don't need to buy anything else to get this price.

The guy did say that the camera is from a overseas warehouse and it takes 2-3 weeks to deliver. But he confirmed more than once that it carries a US warranty.

Any opinions?

I highly doubt their integrity. Never used their service, but it just sounds like "Bye Bye Camera".

You can also check this link out:

Although it doesn't return your merchant's results..

But, you don't know if it carries the manufacturer's US warranty.

It might carry the Hello Camera 15-day warranty!

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

On a $1500 camera, it is worth at least $100 to me to deal with a reputable vendor. I get at least $100 worth of peace of mind.

A $200.00 battery for the 10D that won't even fit?

It never fails to amaze me when otherwise intelligent people think they can get something for nothing. How do you think a little dip sh-t retailer can undersell retail giants like Circuit City, B and H, and J and R with their enormous buying power?

They are probably selling refurbished 10D's from the Orient, because many people returned them because of the autofocus problem.

Should you take a chance, let us know what happened.

Amazing that you can buy this lens for $100 more than the stated retail price.
