On many sites, and even this one (because I don’t control what ads Google feeds me) you will see things like “D2xs Camera Kit- $999!!!!!”.

It’s just like your momma told you- if the price is too good to be true, then it’s not true.

If you see ridiculously low prices like this, it means that it’ll likely be imported (Nikon only warrants their stuff if you buy within your own country, with very few exceptions), they’ll not sell you the whole thing- you might get the body then they’ll tell you that it doesn’t include the battery, etc, they might REQUIRE you to spend a wad of money on crappy lenses, they will probably make you wait months before shipping anything (because you didn’t buy their lenses- you’ll eventually cancel your order), etc.

Deal with a reputable outfit only.

That’s why when I go to NYC or I need a big purchase, I deal with B&H Photo Video. While yes, I will probably join their affiliate system, I’m only recommending them because I use them and never have had any undue problems with them.

If I ever have any trouble with them, I will tell you about it. If you’ve ever had any issues with them, please leave a comment or mail me directly, I’d like to know about it.
