I was looking into getting a decent camera and saw a website has the Gl2 for around $1000. Does that seem right? I saw it on Amazon for $1750 plus.
Is anyone familiar with expresscameras.com?
I was looking into the new Sony HC3 or SR1 but the reviews didn't seem that promising (need something good in low light) and a $1000 for a Gl2 seemed to good to be true.
Would appreciate anyones input. Thanks in advance.
DANGER WILL ROBINSON.
Avoid 'em. Basically, there are three kinds of online resellers. They are as follows:
1. The guys who all sell at just a few bucks under MSRP. BHphoto.com, adorama.com, etc.
2. The guys who sell at about 200% MSRP, because they figure
someone will fall for it.
3. The guys who sell at 50% MSRP.
You want to avoid groups 2 and 3. Those who fall into the group 3 category will either send you a broken, stolen, or completely wrong model camera, or nothing at all. They will ALWAYS make you call to confirm, at which point they refuse to allow you to purchase their illegitimate goods unless you buy $1000 in accesories, which they will also choose not to send. They Are based out of manhattan, and their customer supprt is made up of a few angry guys who don't give a **** about your business. There's actually a really good thread on here about those companies, documenting the actual locations (i.e. empty warehouses in the Bronx) and their reputations. I'll try to find it.
The moral of the story is don't fall for the "super deals" on these sites. And try googling the store name before you buy... you'll be able to find lots about their reputation. As much as i hate stupid sayings like this....
