I saw it posted in another thread and just wondered if anyone has ordered anything from these guys before? They seem to have rediculously low prices on some thing and overly ridiculously HIGH prices on others. Is their shipping fast or slow?

camera i'm looking at buying
http://www.bestpricecameras.com/prodetails.aspx?prodid=902139
$100 cheaper then anywhere else that I can find. Says it's brand new.

Same camera in a package deal that really is a pretty good deal for everything you get.

But then you look at their memory cards and WHOOOOHHH!!!

$169 for a 4gig SD card!?!?!?!??!!?! WTF are they thinking it's gold plated?

Walmart speacial

$49.


But i'm just wondering if anyone has bought anything from these guys and if you got what you ordered and if shipping took longer then it should have? I'm kinda leary on to good to be true deals and also seeing what they charge for other accessories on their site.

Pay the extra money and buy from reputable shops:
Adorama
BH Photos
Beach Cameras (though heard they are becoming iffy)
Amazon

Yup, bestpricecamera is a bunch of scammers! They use the ol bait and switch technique.

I get almost all my stuff from Adorama cuz i have a friend who works there and gets me the "good buddy" discount on alot of stuff and often throws deals on used stuff at killer prices my way.

You got the cold too huh?? :P

He doesnt get too many used cameras that dont get turned around and sold the same day but i can for sure ask him. Most of his better deals come from higher dollar lenses.
