Title: Buying a 7D on Ebay
Post by: Ishmael. on January 30, 2010, 08:49:17 pm

Hey so I'm going to buy Canon's 7D soon and the cheapest I've found so far is on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-EOS-7D-18MP-HD-D...=item53df6e1760 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-EOS-7D-18MP-HD-Digital-SLR-Camera-Body-D7-NEW-USA_W0QQitemZ360230819680QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDigital_Cameras?hash=item53df6e1760)

I wanted to get others' opinion: is it risky to buy models from dealers like this, or should I stick with the really reputable ones like B&H. Does model quality/reliability vary much with the dealer? I'd like to hear what you guys think.

thanks

Ish

These guys have been around for long enough to be okay and the warranty is a Canon not the store warranty so that's a good thing, but you might want to check B&H for their latest pricing.

I purchased my Olympus camera from them.  They have a very good reputation.
