Ron, this is bait-and-switch. They will try to upsell you with overpriced accessories and extreme shipping charges. I fell for a similar thing a few years back. Fortunately it was only for a 540 flash, not a 2k or 3k camera. They said that the flash came in two versions, one with "better" plastic from Japan. ALWAYS check www.resellerratings.com and bbb.org before you buy from an unknown camera place. If it does not return a low rating (or no rating at all), stay away. BTW, Rhonda almost fell for one of those Brooklyn stores about two weeks ago. When I asked her to check out the store she found out that the place had a score of 0.5 out of 10, and many unresolved complaints on the BBB website. Regards, Lars -- .~.
