Has anyone shopped here??

The Camera Professionals - http://thecameraprofessionals.com/welcome.asp

They seem to have a very good deal on the Canon EOS 1D Mark III for $3,399.99.

They state - Everything we sell is brand new - Everything we sell has a full US warranty.

Any suggestions from anyone would be much appreciated...

Thanks

If it is too good to be true, it is.

A quick Google check will also usually tell you everything you want to know about a potential camera dealer. My rule of thumb is to pretty much ingnore advertised prices that are more than 2-5% below the regular lowest priced outlets like B&H, Amazon, Calumet, etc...

I'd be very scared...only with someone else's money.

They list a new 5D for $1199....run!!

One of the worst ratings I've ever seen. Looks like you should steer well clear:

My favorite thing about this site is that for only $1k more you can get a 100-400 with the lens hood!!!!

Heh, it is more than double - $2500 vs. $1050 for the "Stainless Steel Mount & Lens Hood." Silly me, I thought the mount was plated brass or something. Probably the $2500 lenses are in stock whereas the $1050 lenses are on permanent backorder.

I wonder if the glass is included with the $1050 version. It might be extra.
