Is this price for real?

[Greg Beckt]

Many of the prices on that site look substantially lower than everything else I’ve seen.

Something smells wrong?

Please, before you even think about parting with any money, check http://www.resellerratings.com and go to the store ratings section. But be warned, if you are of a weak disposition, check with your doctor before you read the results.

I haven’t posted here before, so please forgive me jumping in on this one.

Grey market + probably credit card scam- sorry but you get what you pay for here and that’s a scam…

This is a gray market scam. They will not let you out the door for that amount of money. You will have to buy something else, like the useless $500 extended warranty, not the word extended. You won’t have a warranty here in the US for the first year. You will buy filters that vignette. You will buy enough useless add-ons that won’t work to get the price up to where it needs to be, about $5395. Buy it from an authorized dealer.

Oh and if that doesn’t convince you, go to http://www.resellerratings.com and look up their customer satisfaction history. You won’t be able to return any of those useless accessories that don’t work.

Best,

Jan

And as I thought Royal Camera is Broadway Photo:

Wow I did read the reviews and not a good place to buy those cameras or anything else. What is the going street price for this camera. I saw some good deals at the NAB show but didn;t have the money to buy then. I know B&H Photo is a great company but they have always charged retail price. Visiting their website I see the camera was $5500. Has the retail price of the camera dropped to $5500 or is it still $6K

thanks,

I’ve not seen any authorized dealer going much below 5500. The retail is 5995.

B&H is generally below retail.

From Canada, their prices look very cheap. If I can save 5-10% but I don’t know the retailer, I’ll still buy from B&H. It’s not worth it to get ripped off.

Here’s another interesting site. It shows a picture of the physical location of a lot of these camera stores in the New York area.
