I am looking for a Canon EOS 7D. Most places have the body for $1599. Ryther Camera has it for $1269. It seems like such a good deal. I am hoping someone on these forums has dealt with Ryther before and can give me some information, to let me know if they are legit.
Thanks.

Someone pointed me to them just yesterday... what a coincidence! However, I'm a bit skeptical. Yet, the do have an A- on bbb.org.

Yeah, and they are giving lots of extras with purchase. I wish I knew more about them. I wonder if they were ever a company under a different name. How can they sell them for that much less?

Also, not sure if they are authorized resellers.

I thought gray market too but they list a 1 year warranty included on the web site under What's In The Box section.

On resellerratings, it seems so. One of the feedbacks said that a rep replied stating that a Nikon body was an import. Of course, all bodies are imports since these companies are headquartered and cameras are manufactured elsewhere.

Is it me, or does this look just a little odd

I would say it is a scam site. The price of their "long" battery and the fact that some of their memory cards, especially the "pro" ones, start over $100 and go to $600. That usually means it is a scam site.
When you try to buy low cost camera, they will "upsell" you to the high priced items to make up for it and if you don't buy those items, suddenly, the camera is out of stock and they don't know when they will get any.
