Just curious to know if anyone here has had dealings with www.bestpricecameras.com. They have the lowest price on a 5d I have seen anywhere, but I have no idea if they are for real.

    You can find them listed here, a sure indication that you should avoid them.

    The rule for cameras is: the best price is never the best deal.

    Also, check out this thread.

    Edit:

    And this thread, too.

    Both threads are stickies at the top of the forum! (Maybe you already saw them?....)

    All you have to do is search at "ResellerRatings.com":

    http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Best_Price_Cameras_6

    This company you mention has one of the lowest ratings I have ever seen.

    Do your online shopping at:

    B&H
    Adorama
    Sigma4Less
    KEH

    to start with.

    Low prices are rarely a good way to shop for photographic equipment.

    If its too good to be true, its probably false. Its a good thing you asked about it first and did not impulsively hand your credit card away to scam artists.


    **Just read the ratings from: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Best_Price_Cameras_6 as Ziggy posted, WOW, that is an insanely large amount of dissatisfied customers. You just dodged a bullet there friend.

    Don't do it...
    This is a bait n switch operation running out of New York. Check resellerratings.com and see their score... quite bad, one of the worst.

    My recomendations are 17th street photo... rated a 10 on resellerratings
    www.17photo.com
    Have oredered almost exclusively from them for about 5 years now... NEVER a single problem.

    B&H is as reliable as it comes and they're slightly cheaper.

    Question should be - are you for real ???
