Has anyone done business with this company?..

My Pentax IstD suffered a sensor failure on christmas eve. So I am planning on getting a K-7 as a replacement.. I'm to invested in the Pentax system to change brands.. i.e. have some great Pentax primes etc..

Primocamera seems to have the best price on a K-7 body..Are these guys legit? or should I do a Monty Python "run away"?

    never heard of them, but a quick google search turned up some questionable things. My suggestion is to get prices from a handful of the best dealers, such as B&H and Adorama. Any place that has a price substantially below the cheapest of those (they are not always the same) would make me very nervous.

    If it's these folks they have a pretty low approval rating:

    If they are a brick and mortar I could drive to Linden, NJ and pick the camera up myself... I'll give them a call tomorrow... heck on the way back I could stop by BH and get the same body from a known source

    P.S. Ziggy I have seen those two threads....

    Talk about jumping the shark...threads that are 18 pages long at some point become useless... Who is going to read from post one? How many diffenerent iterations of the same rip off were discussed?

    Are you kidding? Those threads have saved numerous folks' bacon.
