Follow up To 42nd Street Photo

I have been looking to buy a Canon 7D camera for quite some
time now. I checked as many times and at as many online
sales places as I could find. I found one New from 42nd Street
Photo for $999.00 no shipping. This was a minimum of a 300.00
dollar savings but I knew nothing of the company so after reading lots of customer reviews I then asked the fine folks here if they had used them. They recommended them so I ordered one, I had a couple of responses that said I would be plagued with pushy sales people or calls to sale me other items. I am happy to say I have not had any yet.
I received my 7D today, JUST like they said, with a free Lens cleaning kit. It was shipped on time and was OK when I received it.

Yes I would recommend them and will use them again if they
have the better price. P.S I had over 2K views on my post and
24 comments. I thank all of you for your help and advice.

Congrats, ENJOY that toy!
Glad to see you got a good deal.
Once you get your feet on the fround and your face behind the view finder let us see some images!

Thanks, I ordered my memory the same day different site and
it won't get here until tomorrow. I have the battery charged
and have been snapping pictures with no card but I can see
that it is going to be great with my 24-105 L.

My Grandfather once told me that if it has Boobs or Wheels on it, it's gonna cost you. I don't think he ever bought a camera. :thumbup: mdh

Just curious - what is the return address for the warranty card?

Glad it has worked out for you. (I will never order anything again from 42nd Street...my experience was not as good as yours).

Great question. I have a hard time believing anyone sells a new Canon or Nikon for $300 less than everyone else. These manufacturers protect their pricing and if a retailer steps out of line they risk losing their certified retailer status and will have problems getting additional product to sell.

I don't see where anyone said you didn't get what you got at the price you said. If you were pointing that remark in my direction go back and read what I wrote again. My comments were about the manufacturers and retailers- nothing was said about the buyers. It appears you got a good deal and I believe everyone is happy for you. Did you check what GrahamS asked?

MTG44, Thanks and I am going like mine also. I have been trying it out with the 24-105 L today and my 100-400 L comes in next week.

The 100-400 takes getting used to but you get superb results.
