Is there something I am missing here? These are all new cameras with USA warrantees. Is there a difference in these bodies that would make them worth more or less, or are there just people who have no idea of how to shop the internet (perhaps me?) Thanks for any input on this matter!

There were a ton of 4 and 5 star ratings (obviously paid endorsements) and several 1 star ratings that warned of scams and the old bait and switch being used here. I will save my money and wait to get one from somebody reputable. I guess my dad was right when he said "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is!"

Mar 01, 2014 16:51 | #8 For the body only, you can occasionally find a price of $3000.00 Below that it's not legit. I would only buy from newegg, amazon, BH, and check Best Buy online. A local camera store matched when Best Buy had it for $3,000. Like me on facebook! http://www.facebook.com/CollinMcKahinPhotography
