    I think you should stay away from them, far away:

    If the price seems to good to be true.....then it probably is.
    Refurbished stuff and such.
    If the price looks TOO good I'd steer clear of it!!

    While checking upon Express cameras I went to their web site and found they are listed on Ratings Planet with a sticker saying that they ( Express ) were a trusted seller and Customer Certified.

    I went to RatingsPlanet site and checked on Express; all they had were outstanding reviews. I then checkd on companies such as Adorama, wasn't listed; KEH, wasn't listed; Cambridge Camera, ditto; and so forth. I chaecked about 20stores and only one was rated, that was B&H and they had terrible reviews. Well, to quote the Bard, "something is fishy in Denmark" I'dadvise anyone seeing that particular sticker on a store site to run, don't walk away. Hopefully I can post the sign:

    Possibly one of the strangest things i noticed in my 2 trips to the US was the sprookers outside camera shops trying to get you inside. We have nothing like it at all here. I even had one chap follow me asking why i didnt have a UV filter on my 10-22. They were particularly bad down in the tourist (wharf) area in SF.

    go to google and type in the store name followed by "reviews" epinions.com should pop up and others. if people have complained, there'll be a ton of search findings. also, if someone's reported them to the Better Business Bureau, you could check there. at www.bbb.com I think.


    but yeah...why not just pay for the BH price? you're paying for WAY more than just the camera, you're paying for peace of mind, which in my opinion, is PRICELESS.

    also, let me guess...no battery? the battery cost $400 or something crazy? no cords, everything sold seperately?

    a friend of mine wanted an XTi, and he ordered it from somewhere sketchy place and they said you had to order the battery seperately, then when he tried to cancel they said that there's a $300 cancellation fee or something like that. it was a MESS, I told him to buy from somewhere RESPECTABLE. there's a reason BHphoto is so popular among photographers...there REALLY is.

    okay, I've done some of my own reasearch and THIS IS THE SAME PLACE that my friend tried to order from. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM. the 6 month rating on some site was .39 out of 10. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. please don't do this, I don't even know you, but care enough to know that I don't want you to get to caught up in something you'll regret.

    spend a little more, buy from b&h photo and be sure of 1) receiving what you ordered and 2) getting good customer service on a 3) timely basis-
