They have a .24 lifetime reseller rating (out of 10) from resellerrattings.com I suggest you avoid them at all costs.

I know the 18-55 is the 'kits lens' but didnt know it had become so wildly popular to have become the kit lens for the 1 series also ;)

What's wrong with the ad? Well, it's an ad for bestpricecameras.com, that's what's wrong with it.

Now, do I have to remind you what your mother told you when you were young?

The mini table top tripod and cap keeper sealed the deal for me.....the two must have accessories for a 1D Mk 2N :D

$3,000 for a healthy slice of scepticism? Sounds sensible to me. Think of the future savings!

Seriously, people who fall for this deserve what they get. "A fool and his money are soon parted", and all.

For the few that said stay away, I knew perfectly well what was wrong. The post was a joke, I found it sad that a company selling cameras was that stupid.........and maybe a part of me wondering why it's on this site.....since anyone with a half a clue knows it's a ripp off.
