Look at accessory prices to see if they are legit.
They list a 16 gig generic SD card (no specifications) for $199.85 HERE!
Adorama sells 16 gig Sandisc Extreme cards for $16.

Stay away.
Stay far away.

Bad reviews HERE

Not an error; a built-in gotcha!
They probably don't even include the camera battery but sell it at 4x the normal cost, even though it was originally included in the box.
S.O.S.=Stinks of Scam.

Not an authorized dealer. Most likely grey market. You pays your money and takes your chances.

a review of quick stop camera online

Worst place I've ever dealt with!

"Total SCAM. They emailed 4 days after I place the order saying I need to confirm the order. I call and wait on hold three times. Even though I had the order number they couldn't find it. Only needed my zip code. Then they found it. At first "Jerry" was really nice and told me how much I would love the camera .... blah blah. Then he told me I forgot to order a battery. I explained that the price wasn't good if it didn't come with a battery so I wanted to cancel the order. He said that cameras NEVER come with batteries. Right? So then he said he'd send it without a battery. I repeated to cancel the order. He said he would charge me a 10% cancelation fee. Then he went on to berate me for being "ignorant and wasting his time"... Terrible place and people! "

D750 has still another recall.
