Heads up on a great deal: NEW Canon 30D 'Body Only' $499

I got a Canon 580EX Flash off of these guys a few weeks ago and noticed the deal. I wish I could have bought my 30D for that much. Having a 2nd body is something i've wanted for a while. I'm tempted to just do it at this price.

I'd be careful.  Sounds like the typical camera bait and switch operation.....

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Man, I wouldn't order from those guys in a million years. That's some of the worst reviews on reseller ratings I've ever seen. I'm surprised they haven't been shut down actually.

Jeeze what's the deal with NJ?  They haven't done anything about these folks?  I've never read customer reviews like that ever.  WOW.   :o

there is a guy that does that.... goes out and takes pictures of these places...amazing how sleazy some of these places are..some are just doors with magic marker on them.... 

amazing that people think for some reason they can buy a product that is sometimes 1,000 cheaper than everyone else

Yup abait and switch, I tried to urchase a 580ex from them and once purchased they tried to sell me a sigma flash for more than the 580ex. The Signa retailed for half of what they wanted to sell it to me for. Bought a US model with $15 rebate for just a few bucks more from another dealer. BEWARE! Caveat Emptor
