No, you're not. You're getting a new bathroom.

The prices I'm seeing don't mention items included, like a memory card, battery pack or charger.

There is an "info page" on there somewhere, as to you're getting the factory package. ie you buy the camera body only, you get the factory package that everyone else is selling.. The Nikon came with a 1 GB Card, Battery Charger, Camera Case.. and a few other niceties.. full warranty, and they certify these are NEW items, not refurbished or factory seconds.

The Camera 'Kit' I want comes with 2 lenses, tripod, hard case. 2 GB card, charger. etc. etc..

There is an 800 number to call, think I'll call them before I order anything.

You guys (and gals) may want to hold off on your orders from that site (bestpricecameras.com) and read this Best Price Cameras (enterprisephoto.com, infinitiphoto.com, jandkcameras.com) Customer Ratings, Reviews and Prices at ResellerRatings


Seems as these cameras DO NOT come with a FACTORY warranty nor do they come with anything that you would typically get when purchasing one elsewhere. It also seems that these are not camera originally made for the US market. I would not buy IMO.

Im not sure what they would try to sell you for a lens...

but for the camera it seems they sell you accessories that typically come with the camera for exuberant prices and if you do not go for it they wont ship your products. Even if there were nothing to upsell, I really wouldnt trust them with my billing info. From everything Ive read they seem pretty shady. Id much rather deal with the likes of B&H and Adorama and at least know you are dealing with an honest reputable company.

I've used B&H and they seem to have some of the best prices. They have some weird holidays and they were a little slow one time, but overall I like them.

B&H is very good to deal with....I usually purchase from Adorama as they too have good prices and they have always been prompt with processing and shipping. I recently bought my tripod and head from them, ordered on a saturday and rec'd on tuesday. I only paid for three day shipping so i was happy. Even regular ground doesnt take long, since they are in NY as well.
