they're probably a pretty shady business...i mean there are trusted sites to get camera gear online...just stick with one of those unless you feel like gambling

here's the reseller-ratings for the site...actually not all that bad to be honest, but i'd be wary of fake posts since they were responding to posts they obviously know about the site

apparently this is the storefront for the address of the place

I'd run away fast. They are selling a 1 GB SD card for $50! Outrageous! They had a whole slew of SD cards on the same page as the 5D II which doesn't take SD cards. If you do order something and they ask you to call them to confirm, don't call, just cancel the order. That says they are a bait and switch operation.

When a price sounds too good to be true, then it almost always is. This place smells fishy as hell to me. Stick with a the stalwarts -- Amazon, B&H, Adorama, and so on -- and you will never have to worry.

to me it looks like they are trying to make money off bundling items hence the outrageous prices for the little things and cheap cameras. does look kinda shady that why i asked.

there's nothing that really screams scam all the people with low scores were mad because an item was out of stock not because they were ripped off.

They have the same items listed for different prices in different areas on the site. This site is nothing but bad news.

And I'd bet that when you try to buy the camera alone without the bundled extras they're trying to pad the bill with, you too will find the camera that you want to buy is suddenly "out of stock". So your options are to be ripped off or get nothing. The latter is the better option, but spare yourself the grief and use one of the known, trusted vendors. There's a good reason that B&H and Adorama and the others are held in high regard here, and that's because they're not rippoff artists.

But as others have said, give it a shot and let us know how you make out...
