No not at all. That's not too good to be true. I'm sure they're selling this $1000+ new camera body for under $600 and I'm sure it's on the up and up.

On a separate note, I have a 1DsIII box that I can sell you for $1000, BRAND NEW!

I can sell you anything I want on the internet. That doesn't mean I have to deliver though.
Seriously though, one way is to sell the body cheap and then add all the products that you'd normally get in the package (battery, charger, software, etc.) for extra. It's happened to a couple people I know. Why they don't call me first, I have no idea.

It's a bait and switch company! Read the REVIEWS (external link).

If it looks too good to be true it very likely is. Spend your money at B&H, Adorama or another reputable place where you'll get good service and actually get the items you pay for.
I actually took the time to read some of the customer reviews of On time Digital -- wow... stunning. Can't believe they're allowed to stay in business.

completely legit. they'll just charge you $400 for a battery or $100 for a cf door cover. if you decline to purchase these "accessories" from them, they'll just tell you that the item is indefinitely backordered.
