look at all the credentials on the left. If a website like this has been around for so long, someone has been bound to report it as a fraud. Becuase I can't believe those prices are legit. Or maybe it's legit, someone should buy something cheap from it and see what happens.

hahaha I clicked on one of the badges they have on the bottom of their site and it came up with a "ratings planet" review of the site. (stellar review) but when you try to explore the rest of the site, it goes to this:

http://ratingsplanet.com/merchant_find.asp

Notice how there's nowhere to type the merchant's name?

Haha yeah I was almost fooled by that site but the prices seemed outrageously low and people on NS told me it wasnt legit. Heres the bullshit page for them on that ratingsplanet site: http://ratingsplanet.com/merchant_rating.asp?merch_id=1153959270

haha, I just read some of those complaints, they're kind of funny. I can't believe they're still around, how is this legal.

they hassle people to upgrade their orders, thus filling orders that the people have OK'd (as sleezy as it seems, it isn't illegal to be a douchebag).

Go to bhphotovideo.com if you want to get your gear online or if your in NY state you can avoid tax by going to Unique Photo(NJ). These guys can sell gear for less than most local stores buy it for because they're getting large quantity discounts.

Either way, buy from a camera shop where photographers work. Places like Best Buy have sales people that know only what the brochure told them.
