Hello Everyone,

My name is Joe, and I about to buy my first SLR...which Rocks. I am looking at this Handsome Rebel XTI with a sexy Canon 17-85 IS USM Lens. My question is, have any of you guys ever heard of the company I am considering buying from?

http://www.shopdigitalcorp.com/

I want to do all of my research before I make my purchase, and this company seems to offer pricing well below everyone else that I have seen for this product. Not only do the item prices seem to be really good...but they carry a ton of accessories to go with my camera.
So I came to the pro's at Photo.com to get the skinny on this company, before I go lay out $1,000 on my new camera. And maybe to get some opinions on their business, if any of you have had past experiences.
I really am looking forward to buying my new camera, the money is almost burning a hole in my pocket. Everything I have read so far sounds positive, and I'm just looking for that last, "Yeah, their pricing is low, and the items are as promised..." kindof statement, before I go ahead with my purchase.
Thanks for your comments in advance,

Joe

I know nothing about them but I found it astounding that they wanted more for the Canon A710IS than the S3IS. They look reputable but for the money you are spending I would want a real world recommendation too.

I know nothing about them either, and that's why I would be really careful. I'm not saying they are not okay, but I do know that B&H is okay, and when I make on line purchases, that's where I buy from.

Thanks for the advice guys. I have been looking into this company, up one side and down the other. I dont get paid till friday, so I still have a couple of days before I have an exact answer. Good new though, if I go with http://www.shopdigitalcorp.com I will for sure come back and let you guys know how it turned out, as a thank you for the advice.

I'd stay away from them especially if I was spending that much money. Only two ratings and I wouldn't put much salt on the positive one.

Stick with:
Adorama
B&H
Onecall
Calumet
There are a few others but can't think of them right now.
