A retail package means it comes in the colorful box like you would find at retailers like Best Buy and Circuit City. Canon 5Dm2, 50D, XSi (450D), 580 EX IIx2

Just buy directly from a known, trust-worthy dealer like amazon, B&H, Adorama. I also recommend going with the Sandisk Extreme III cards. Thats all I use. [Gear List | Flickr

Ditto. I would stick with retail package. This is just me being paranoid.
