Any site that rates Abes of Maine ranked the same as B&H is automatically sketchy to me.

I'm not gonna repeat in this thread what I said in the other thread, but if you want to buy a camera well below the going street price then do it. But don't be surprised if you get screwed in some fashion.

If you've managed to save up $2700 saving another $400-500 shouldn't kill ya.

Why is it that all these companies in New York manage to stick around long enough to get everyone's money? I just don't get it....
