I have been considering the purchase of a 1D for awhile now, and I find the price varies alot!
I just saw it on Broadway Photo's site for $3149.00, the ad claims it's new and in stock. I'd guess
at that price it's not US product, but I think I'd take my chances..

I'd be very surprised if you are able to purchase a 1D from Broadway Photo at the price advertised. I base my opinion on what I've read about their method of doing business. High pressure add on accessories and if you resist, the item mysteriously ends up back-ordered until you get tired of waiting and eventually cancel the order.
Just my opinion.

Read my post in this forum from 08-06-2002. The replies to this same post should be enough warning for any sane individual. Do yourself a favor and do business with ONLY reputable individuals or companies. Just trying to save you some agony and torture and stay away from these pirates! mm

Thanks for the responses...
Does anyone have a recomendation for a dealer in LA, San Diego, or San Francisco? I live in Mexico and travel to these cities frequently. I think I'd rather pay a little more and buy from a store where I can see the merchandise.

In Los Angeles, you might want to try Samy's Camera

The 1D's from Broadway are grey market and they won't sell it to you unless you get these outrageously priced accessories and international warranty.
