I wouldn't do business with a seller in this amount if its my 1st time especially if I had to pay with credit card.

Well I see Amazon and everyone else is now back up to $1200. Looks like that window Monday morning was the time to leap!

If you check ResellerRatings.com, quite a few people have accused this vendor of scamming them. The reviews seem to fall into two groups: "they're scammers" and "they're perfect". The simple fact is that you're never going to find a legitimate dealer selling these popular cameras for substantially less than everyone else. But you WILL find plenty of scam shops offering low prices to suck you into a bait-and-switch scheme. Stick to spending your hard earned money at honest sellers like Amazon, B&H; Photo and Adorama.

I hear ya. I've been using Amazon for about 10 years and i am never dissappointed. However, the $200 difference was tempting. I linked the website to Amazon hoping they'll lower their price just a little.

I spoke with Camera Kings about 9 months ago about a Canon camera body I wanted - because their price was significantly lower than Amazon's. On close questioning, they admitted that their product was "gray market" (my term, not theirs) - i.e., no Canon USA Warranty (although they said that it came with a Camera Kings warranty). If I wanted the Canon USA warranty, their price was about the same as Amazon's. I decided to stick with Amazon!

I intend to buy the Canon 60D from Amazon.I saw other sites like Fumfie.com selling the same camera kit cheaper than Amazon, but I do prefer to pay more and avoid problems.

Bit the bullet at $1139. If the rebate you speak of comes tomorrow, i'm sure i'll be kicking myself. Would be $999 !!

Well there are two different "kit" lenses the 18-55 and the 18-135. Now the 18-55 is not a "bad" lens but most people skip that and buy either a different Sony lens,a Sigma or Tamron lens. Pretty much because the 18-55 is a "ok" start out lens but not even a year down the road you will most likely want to upgrade. Now the 18-135 alot of people seem to be happy with, it is more money, but it will probably save your money in the long run. But remember this item is BODY ONLY , so no lens came with this one!!! Make sure you find one with the lens included if that's the route you want to go! Well there are two different "kit" lenses the 18-55 and the 18-135.

Baku: I purchased a D70 s new. I purchased 2 used D 70 s cameras, one through Amazon. 1. I was pleased with the quality/condition of the unit; there was an instruction booklet, charger - the condition was more than I expected. Now let me tell you what a premier repair shop in Cleveland said. "It is everything you need" talking to me. I have a 35-70 2.8, 80 - 200 2.8 and a 85 1.8 among others. Mike's retired principal has a D 60 and he takes great photos. If you can purchase a D 70 s used ( I assume you have Nikon lenses ), it is worth purchasing. I know, I know the latest sounds like it is a great camera & some people like to take streaming video but, I am a bit of a purist. Mike

Not seeing this dual lens offer @ $698 anywhere on Amazon - grab it if you can but the $698 price point since before the holidays has been for one lens only (usually the 18-55) - would live to get a link if out there

I've looked over the offerings found in a number of package deals and found the vast majority of them included lots of no-name accessories of dubious quality for premium prices. I'd highly recommend avoiding packages deals unless they contain brand name accessories that DON'T include a 75-300mm or 28-90mm Canon lens.Just get the camera with the included lens. Its a good deal.

They are selling body only on Amazon UK, but the body only costs more than the camera with lens on Amazon.com USA. Hardly a bargain. Plus you would have to pay for shipping. The website NikonUSA only shows the camera as coming with the kit lens. I'm in the same situation--have no interest in this lens. So I guess now the decision is, should I buy the kit and then go through the hassle of selling the lens.

I bought an extended USA warrantee for camera and two lenses. Inexpensive and worth it I believe. Some stores offer a warrantee that covers accidental damage and includes annual service. Check with each store about the warrantee they provide.

Appericate your imput Erik, really would rather know Amazon's policy from them concering USA versus import issues.... Thanks though. Amazon's price is between internet retailers like B&H;, $2700 which is a USA model & some of the bottom feeders @ $1600 for imports. Seems Amazon would make this just a bit clearer for us, so with that said, no deal untill they step up or buy from a provider with assurances.... Oh yea, just talking about D700, body only with all the usual accessories that would come with the purchase, strap, battery & so on....

Not grey market. Brand new Tokina with 3-year warranty. This is definitely a Pro level lens. Big. Heavy. Durable. Mine came with a pretty good lens cover. Use it to protect the front element, as this lens will not take filters, much like the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8. I'm a photojournalist, not a "pixel-peeker." In real-life image making, it's as sharp and robust as any Nikon or Canon lens I've ever used. Auto-focus not quite as fast or silent as a Nikon or Canon, but at this focal length range, those things aren't as crucial. Haven't missed any shots due to those issues. Highly recommended if you can't afford a Nikon or Canon equivalent. Not grey market. Brand new Tokina with 3-year warranty. This is definitely a Pro level lens. Big. Heavy. Durable.

Different vendors sell items at different prices depending on their inventories. I am satisfied with the lens it came repacked in a box with all the labeled items and it is brand new. I would buy it again at $700 any day if i needed another one. Best of luck on your decision. :)

The lens I got from "Another Deal Site" was Gray Market as confirmed by Tamron-usa customer service. It has no warranty and Tamron-usa will not repair it. So, buy at your own risk. I have also talked to Amazon Customer service and they are looking into it. This lens sells for $749 on B&H; (US warranty) so you have to decide if the warranty and support is worth the extra $180.

I purchased a Canon 60D recently and also purchased a Tamron 70-300 MM along with a Canon 18-135 MM lens. The Canon 18-135 lens is terrific! I took photos of the same subject using a Canon 18-135, the Tamron 70-300, and a Sigma 18-200 mm lens on the 60D camera. At full telephoto for all 3 lens, the Canon 18-135 was sharper than the Sigma and equaled the Tamron when I cropped the image down to the same size as the longer 300mm Tamron. I don't know if these results would hold true for all Canon bodies but it sure works for the 18 megapixel 60D. As an aside, the Tamron 70-300 mm with VC optical stability is a great lens too.

$ 650 for D40 is way to high. where are you buying this from. Available on amazon with kit lens for $ 460.

Most prices I have seen for the Canon brand is around $650. If you can get it cheaper than this tameron by all means get it. I bought this for my Nikon it's a great lens I only bought it because it was a nice lens at a cheaper cost.

It sounds like a decent deal to me. It would, however, depend on the manufacturer and type of lenses that would come with it. Lenses can run in price from the inexpensive to the very expensive. Is this a camera where you know the person selling it or is it for sale from an advertisement? Is it being sold through a company or an individual? If it's a company, will they give you a warranty for some period of time? I doubt that you would be "taken to the cleaners"... and if the camera is clean and the deal legitimate, $250 is (in my estimation and by not having seen it in person) a better than average... but not a great deal! Hope I could be of some help. Best of luck to you! It sounds like a decent deal to me. It would, however, depend on the manufacturer and type of lenses that would come with it.
