Has anyone purchased from this place? I mean $1939 for a new 1D3 with USA warranty and free shipping is an unreal deal. I am in the market for one and would like to get a deal like this if Bingo Cameras is reputable.

They should flash this link constantly on POTN, so people use it.

The camera lists at Canon for $4499. It sells at reputable dealers for around $4000. This company is selling it for half price. Think about that. They would lose a lot of money selling it for $1939. Who's in business to lose money?

Yes, yes it is. You answered your own question.

Why do people post things like this every few days? Don't we all know when things are way too good to be true???

Use some common sense people!

At least check www.resellerratings.co​m (external link) if you really need reasons why not order from these vendors.

Or just go ahead and buy it and let us know what happens. :confused:

Unbelievable. Why do you even have to ask? (Without searching, obviously enough.)


cheers, juice (Canon shooter, Elinchrom lighter, but pretty much agnostic on brands.)

Prob because they are so excited when they see such a low price and can't think. Hope all those stores get shut down soon.

Thanks for all of your kind and helpful comments everyone! I don't ever visit this section of the forums and I guess I won't in the future.

If you understood how much aggravation and money they just saved you, you would. Lighten up.
