    one *could* get lucky of course (as fish demonstrated) at ibuydigital.com but they seem to be one of the brooklyn scammers, and i usually advise folks to stay away. $700 for the camera, 100 for the bodycap, 100 for the battery, 100 for the instruction manual, etc etc yada yada.....

    here's there store and here are the rest of the crooklyn scammers

    At some of those camera places in Brooklyn, it looks like you can actually walk in and buy from them. How do they scam you if you walk in?
