If this is what you mean,they look honest enough-allthough i breifly saw some other replies that even B&H has a good deal so maybe gfo with them..

As for the kit stigma lenses.............
they are the cheapest models sigma makes.they'll get some good pics but nothing great
here is a folder of pics from that same model 100-300 used on a 300D (sorry about the colour ballance-uploaded these before my new monitor)...and the originals were sharper than these heavily compressed jpegs

buydig.com has the body only for like $1280 or so...

from what i hear thry are a good etailor...

Cool! It is just that the influx of people upgrading from p&s to DSLR (usually the 300D) get it and then are clueless. We can only do so much.
There in lies a problem from my end and probably a lot of others...like in what do they take pics of, and how much are you willing to spend comes to mind immediately. Then after that there is the consumer vs L glass and so forth. Believe you me, I had some cheap glass in the beginning and it was awful. Just keep this in mind, that the pics will only be as good as the glass in front of the sensor!

I have had an experience with buying from a dealer that isnt reputable. Ask the regulars here, there was a thread about a mile llong on my adventure. The company was BROADWAY PHOTO out of NY. I will NEVER, and I repeat NEVER buy from a dealer that isnt a well know name. B&H or Adorama for me, or a local shop.

Dont try to save a egg and risk losing your whole nest. Buy B&H, the piece of mind is well worth the extra few bucks.

Thanks all of you. I appreciate your advice.

I don’t know a bought you guys but I am ready to dump my 10D's for the new model camera that will be replacing it very very soon. I skipped the 1DMK II just to much camera don’t need it. If I am spending $4500 I would get the Kodak PRO 14C "C" for canon and enjoy the full frame and 14 Pixels. It is a hell of a camera much improved over the first one. Well worth the price for what I do.

>>Ebay is a great place to buy canon gear. I got my canon 24-70 L New On ebay and saved over $150 from B&H 's Price.<<

I'll have to second that! About a month ago I took a chance on the SAME lens at the SAME price on ebay from a seller called Flashpoint Cameras. It arrived at my doorstep EXACTLY as listed (brand new with Canon USA warranty AND valid rebate form) 48 hours later.

I usually deal with Adorama or B&H, too. Sure, there are scammers out there on ebay, but if you're careful you can usually spot them.

If you run across this seller (Flashpoint Cameras) on ebay, he's OK (at least in my only experience with them). They saved me $150.00 over B&H or Adorama's price on this lens, and didn't pull ANY crap like outrageous shipping fees or trying to sell me accesories with it. I'll buy from these guys again through ebay anytime.

I'm not affiliated with these guys in any way, just a satisfied customer with a brand new 24-70 L lens to go on my new 1DM2 !

Yes,you sure can get very good honest EPAY sellers.
It isn't easy though as allmost everyone has awsome feedback

Which is why you need to study the feedback before you commit yourself. A reputable business will receive a large quantity of positive feedback daily, not just a few here and there. Check out what some of those buyers are purchasing, are they reasonable ticket items, or $2 trinkets? What is the seller's positive percentage? How many negatives has he received in the past week? Past month? Someone with a good reputation is unlikely to jeopardize it by screwing you.
