Sonic Cameras lists the new Canon Rebel t1i for $ 499. Sounds too good to be true. I was told by an agent? that they were in stock, shipping, no backorder. When asked to speak to a supervisor ( I wanted additional info and to check into this deal further) , I was placed on indefinite hold. A callback ( I think I got the same agent again) warranted the same indefinite hold. Is this a legitimate offer?...Are these folks OK to do business with? Anyone had bad experiences with them?.....any advice will be appreciated....thanks.​...Allan:confused:

Welcome to the forum. Go to resellers ratings (.com) and see how bad they are.

Read the ratings then stay far away...http://www.resellerrat​ings.com/store/Sonic_C​ameras (external link)

They are scammers trying to rip you off.
Avoid them.

Caution stay away from these type of places. You could probably find another too good too be true price on the net and the call will go to the same exact rip-off place under a different name.

I was on the verge of ordering it from there yesterday and then did some research because of the price and extra's they offer. I have not seen anything positive except for someone was able to cancel their order.

I ordered my t1i from pcconnection.com I am supposed to get it tomorrow. Wish me luck
