i got my coolpix 4300 from them as well as a nikon slr lens and a few other little odds and ends...no problems at all

the reason that price is so low is that it might be a grey market camera...basically means its a direct import and doesn't have the manufactures warranty which is why if you look on that page on the right under recommended accessories you can buy the extended warranty...its still the exact same camera, no better, no worse just minus the warranty. contact amphotoworld about about whether or not its a grey market camera. that would be my guess as to why its so cheap. if i had the cash i'd pick up two and sell one for full market value and get all my money back :lol:

their prices are too low even for grey market. I saw their prices before, and did some googling. The results were scary enough not to buy from them. Although some people were satisfied, there are tons of complaints about overcharges, credit card problems, etc etc...

I have decided that it does not worth it and wait for some more years until the prices drop everywhere affordable for me.

Do some searching and decide for yourself.

hmmm...interesting. i didn't know people were having problems with them. i know a few other people who have ordered from them and the only problems have just been the usual backordered item. it wouldn't surprise me that something is going on with them with prices that low. i guess its a matter of how much are you willing to risk to get a deal like that. just teaches you to be careful with any place you order from online.
