Any suggestions on where to order online. I see Cameta Camera has some on Ebay. Are they reputable? Any other suggestions. Can't really afford this camera, so looking to save a few bucks if I can. Usually do all my shopping with B&H so don't know much about other stores. Looking for a brand new, warranty, reputable online dealer. Thanks for any help.

Yes, they are legit. They are also a real authorized dealer in the USA unlike many ebay stores that claim they are.

Purchased a few things like grips, battery and a few other accessories from them through Amazon or directly from their website. All positive.

The've been had their brick-and-mortar store for at least two decades, and they were doing mail order before the Internet.

Edit: This century has been a blur to me. They've had their B&M store for at least three decades.

go with cameta(talk to enzo...supper friendly and very knowlegable) or go with amazon. I like amazon due to their extremely easy to use return policy if you have a problem with or don't like your purchase.

Got mine from Newegg. I see it's still $2499 with $5 shipping and no tax. Only difference for me was that shipping was free.

I bought my 7d from cameta, and a friend of mine bought a d40 from them as well.
