That is abysmal! I have never seen a seller rating that low in my life. And it's no fluke, there are some serious horror stories. I mean, a store like that being mixed with credit card fraud? Wow.....

Seriously, even though they outshine BestPrice, the biggest ripoffs in history, a turd is still a turd. Those places mentioned are great places but there are others as well. Beach Camera, Buydig, 17th Photo, Canoga, Profeel, they are all very reputable dealers and will save you from hours of headaches. that's because bestprice cheated on the ratings and made positive reviews for themselves from their employees I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

Im not saying buy from anyone, but its usully not that hard to do a bit of digging and see if a dealer is reputable. Of late I've also had good luck with ebay, though I still hat ebay and paypal themselves, I cant knock the sellers who have worked hard for the reputations they have built there.

I wonder what would happen if someone ACTUALLY got those ... http://www.thecameraprofessionals.com ….asp?prodid=401253&up=884 If your going to rip people off, at least you can do a little homework and make sure that what your offering will at least work. Not sure why, but call me JJ.
