you dont want to do that.. they are a rip off. lots of people have complained about them. most of them dont even have one full point out of 10. someone will give you the link to the page where you can look it up. i have the same questions about the 5d a couple weeks ago. and it was not a warm welcome with some of the people on there.

there are very few people who get what they want from companies like that.. most of the time you dont get the battery, you font get a warranty card. nothing.. then its high pressure sales all the way.. they push you into buying a 100 dollars lens for 500.

dont do it. you will regret every second of this.

Bait and switch. Don't do it. A deal like that doesn't exist.

I think I will take your word for it and skip this temptation
specially I don't live in the US, so that's double the trouble returning and arguing, not to mention that I pay for the 800 number from here

I can picture it now, a 10D arrives in the package with a little paint making the 1 look like a 4. Then 8 hours on hold with the goons to try to get your money back. Not a good scene.

I really don't understand how anyone can think this may be real. Baiting and switching is really getting out of control these days.

scam


I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

at express camera the 40D is 650 but the sigma 10-20 is $ 1500. BHphotovideo has it for $500 - I think this is one of the tricks they use

We need a sticky or an explainer thread.....this comes up a few times every week.

But we're still glad you asked before you put down the $$ for it!
