Just curious about some prices that seem too good to be true. I've been considering a HD camera purchase and found prices significantly lower at Bingo Cameras. Anybody familiar with this seller? The Canon XH-A1 (a camera I'm considering) is listed under $1400 and a few other cameras have similar prices that are about 50% of the other retailers.

Any thoughts or cautions. Thanks!

Go to http://www.resellerratings.com/

type "Bingo Cameras" into the "Find a Store" area.

You can use this for all online stores.

I always check the prices at B&H. If the on line price is
10% or more lower than their price I am VERY cautious.
Paying the B&H price at that very respectable on line
store is well worth it.

Most of those online camera retailers are scams.

If it seems too good to be true, it is.

Gray market goods, you get a camera missing accessories, you get a different camera, or you never get one. This is the risk you take if you fall for this.

Like rik says, use B&H as your Kelley Blue Book.

Thanks everyone. Good sound, common sense advice.
