Cameras Source

2003-06-18 by Tim Timmermans

Has anyone heard of this company. Cameras Source. They are in New 
York. I did a search through Pricescan for 10D's and they are listed 
as selling them at $1299 which was the lowest price I've seen.They're 
going for $1400 on ebay.

They told me they've been in business for 10 years and they had a 5 
star rating (tops) on Pricescan. Has anyone even heard of Pricescan 
for that matter?

I have purchased over the internet before with success but it's still 
always a bit scary. Was wondering if anyone had heard of them or had 
other recommendations of another place that might be cheaper or would 
at least match this price. I also read a review where the writer said 
Canon's agressive marketing plan would lower the street price of the 
10D to just under $1000 after the first of the year.

Thanks, Tim

Tim,
I've never heard of this company but what I would ask is if this comes with
a USA warranty. When I was shopping for my Fuji S2, I saw prices from
$1600 - $2200. The lower prices were always grey market.
I always end up buying from Adorama camera. ( www.adorama.com) They have
very fair prices and I've never had a problem with them.

Has anyone here ever heard of or done business with these guys. They 
have Canon 10's in stock at a pretty low price but they're in NYC and 
I'm in L.A. so it's a little scary. Heard of them or heard about them?
Anyone?

Thanks,

tim

Never heard of them, but if they are in Brooklyn (718 area code) and have low low 
prices, don't trust them. 

The only NYC outfits I personally trust are B+H and Adorama

I haven't, Tim. So I tried to look them up on

http://www.resellerratings.com/

but they have had only 20 "reviews" in the past six months, and I 
guess that's too few for ResellerRatings to report ratings.

I checked them on www.photo.net, camera store recommandations, and they 
are not mentioned.  You might check the price on 
www.deltainternational.com, I know they sell grey market equipment, with a 
non-OEM warranty, and I have had good experiences with them.

But for US warranty,equipment,  I buy from B&H and I never have had a 
problem with them.

Good luck with your purchase.
