I was wondering if anyone has ever ordered from 1 Way Photo? The Rebel XTI is a very low price there. Is there anything I should be cautious of? I've seen it listed for even lower, but from very shady companies.

Heh, thanks. I thought it was too good to be true. Amazing how many scammers there are out there, even posing as legitimate companies.

I went through that a while back. Looking for deals that were a little too good. It was a bigger pain than saving more money would be. Stick with good companies and save a little longer.

Me too!!! I tried to get my camera four different times before I stopped and saved for an extra three months and went with a company that I knew I could trust. Anymore on the internet a great deal means you're about to get screwed!

Add resellerratings.com to your Favorites. Use them if a deal looks too good to be true. 1 Way Photo was the first store I'd heard about run by scam artists (of course they're not the first, just the first I heard about).

Save a little bit more and get one off of B&H for what's still a fantastic price.

Edit: Doug's List also looks really helpful, I've added that to my favorites for a quick list to check against. Thanks for that! :)
