The advertised price is $839. I havent looked too hard but that seems to be a pretty good price for this combo. Never heard of the seller though. Anyone ordered from these guys before?

Noooooo! Steer clear! If you guys are in the U.S., you can buy that combo for much less.

Could be import/gray market. Does it include a Canon warranty? I don't see them listed as a Canon authorized dealer?

If I remember correctly, BestPricePhoto uses the bait-and-switch tactic. I would stay away from them.

I don't like the tons of 5 stars nor the reply to the 1 star review. Just seems fishy. Call me sceptical or paranoid but just seems like there's more risk then reward here.
