Hey NS,

Could use some judgement help on a website:

http://technologies-shop.com/panasonic-dmc-fz150-digital-camera-black

That is the link to the technologies shop. Never saw this low of a price on the dmc fz150 and i am looking to purchase. I would like to know if when buying camera gear do you guys trust sketchy online sites like the one i linked. I really want the camera for the price they have on this site.

PLEASE +K for ANSWERS!!!

Resellerratings doesn't have it on file, but just a rule of thumb; if it looks too good to be true, it is. B&H has it for about $150 or so more.

Found on Google:
http://www.scamadviser.com/is-technologies-shop.com-safe.html

http://www.webutation.net/go/review/technologies-shop.com#

Of course these sites may not be legit raters either but still...I'd say skip it. There's nothing worse than dropping dollars and thinking you're getting a good deal only to receive a plastic camera shell and obnoxious calls saying that you have to pay more to get the rest of the camera. Don't risk it, be safe, go with something trusted.

Yessir. Compare B&H and Adorama too and see if their prices are any better.
