Well...I haven't but half of the verification indicators at the end of their home page are dead links...they don't click.

I'd be wary.

I use
B&H
Cameta Camera
Adorama

There are probably others but those are very reliable and their prices are on par with what I've seen of the web in general.

If you cannot find much about them, I would go elsewhere. I used to work in the camera retail business and there are more shysters in this business than you can imagine. There are horror stories about what they will do to you. Stick with the known online good-guys: B&H, Adorama, Dury's, Midwest photo, Roberts, Samy's.

A great source for checking out a retailer is: resellerratings.com

This cameralamps does not show up.

Hey yeah. A 5D II for $200+??

I think you should buy it so you can tell the rest of us what a wonderful buying experience you had!

I mean, how can anyone go wrong?

What could possibly be the problem?

Just another site for naive suckers.

But guys!!!! Its WHOLESALE!!!! Its Got to be true, right? I am thinking of switching to Cannon for this price..............NOT
Look at the page format, its the 3rd website I have seen this month with that exact same page, nothing changes but the name. Obvious scam.
Lesv, do not give them any credit card info no matter what kind of deal it looks like. Like CaptainC said; B&H, Adorama, Dury's, Midwest photo, Roberts, Samy's, Cameta. Stick to reliable sources.

I noticed they also have a nice Hasselblad H4D-60 with 80mm Lens for only $1889.00. Calumet seems to want $41,995.00.

I say avoid the place and save your money. Unless they start offering Bugatti Veyrons for $129.95. I think they are twice that if you go to 'Bugattis Are Us.'

maybe we should have the admin put up at the top of this site in pink neon letters "IF THE PRICE SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS"
