Nathan Can you repeat the question, please?  More info | Feb 27, 2009 08:49 | #3 My advice is to check out any website you buy from at www.bbb.org Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.

gjl711 Wait.. you can't unkill your own kill.  57,730 posts Likes: 4065 Joined Aug 2006 Location: Deep in the heart of Texas More info | Feb 27, 2009 08:52 | #4 hswshock wrote in post #7417702  ...I have browsed some websites such as rightbuydigital.com-449USD,some asks for 979USD or much higher.I don't understand the difference of a large scale of the price. Please recommend me a good place to get it .... I can't help with a location in China, but can offer a bit of advice. The reason for the large differance in price is that there are a lot of folks out there, especially on the web, who are unsavory and will offer a much lower price to draw in the less informed and when the purchase is made either try to sell them the other things needed to make the camera work or convince them that the camera at that price is not a good one and offer another at a much higher price. The general rule is that if the camera is being offered for significantly less than most other places, there is something fishy with the deal and extream caution should be used. There are quite a few such places here in the states but there are also many reputable dealers as well. I don't know if China has an equivilent web site but here many use Resellerratings.com to guage how good a particular web store is. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Nathan Can you repeat the question, please? More info | Feb 28, 2009 08:11 | #10 Just stick to the sites we've mentioned so far. There are a lot of "deals" out there that are too good to be true... and trust us, they're not true. Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.

The only disadvantage is no warranty available in US. Canon 7D,my right decision!

However, at least in the U.S., you will be very wise to only do business with companies that have good consumer ratings and business practices. Basically, when shopping in the U.S., if a deal seems too good to be true, it almost always is . . . A dSLR is a big investment. Only buy from a source you can trust. The only way you will be able to discern which businesses are trustworthy is to trust consumer ratings. You won't be disappointed with price/quality/service in the long run if you buy from someone like B&H or Adorama or one of the others mentioned above. Saving $100-200 on the front end will not be worth it if you end up with a lemon you can't return or can't get good service for.
