i found a great page and good price for 7d and lens / Can i trust?

Really?

Your page seems great. But the price is on digitsys better. Are you sure i could not trust them?
 
etrust, your link says €783.00 for the body. That's way too good to be true, probably lower than the wholesale price. It's almost certainly a fraud. A legitimate price should be closer to €1200.
 
When you're unsure of a website's authenticity, check the site's name on resellerratings.com. In this case, there are no reviews for Digitsys, so I'd buy somewhere else.
 
Just so everyone knows, it appears to be shadey (allegedly). This was discussed at dpreview.

They ask for a wire transfer once you get to checkout the item even though it says they accept paypal.

Some brave soul elsewhere on the net purchased a relatively inexpensive item to see if they would get it, and of course they didn't.

I saw their ad pop up on several popular video/photo sites (cinema5D, dpreview).
 
There are sites just like it here in the United States. The schtick is to offer unbelievably low prices on hot pieces of gear. From there, the most common scam is to offer the unit without any accessories, often not even a battery or charger. Then they try to sell you overpriced accessories, most of which you don't even need. If you refuse the add-ons and complete the order, then they will continue to claim that they are out of stock until you agree to buy add-ons. Even then, they might not deliver. Sites like these come and go, keeping the scam alive indefinitely. They can generally all be traced back to the same scammers.

I have never seen a single site offering such low prices that was legitimate. I've seen many such sites. Just ask yourself, if these places are selling for so much lower than anyone else, then how can they possibly earn enough to revenue to stay afloat? Resist temptation and stay away. It really is too good to be true.
 
bait and switch. I've been through it before, buying cameras is the worst. long story short-it pays to buy from TRUSTED sellers. TRUST ME. lets just be thankful these cameras are so amazingly cheap to begin with!
 
I bought my t2i from my local camera shop and they are great! The price was the same as any place else for the body and kit lens but what they provide as service can not be understated. If I have a question, they are a phone call away. They even offered to spend an entire hour of one on one time with me going over the entire camera. Try that at Best Buy or B&H. Yes, the local camera shop is a dying breed and when they are all gone we will be worse off for it. Support your local shop and use their knowledge! It's worth it for you in the short and long run. When I picked up my camera from High Point Photo the owner said, "I know you could have gotten this camera online and I appreciate your business and will help you in any way I can." Service, my friends, is worth more to me than saving a paltry $20 and being left high and dry if something goes wrong.
The choice is yours.

Cheers

I used to have a VX2000 and I sold it for a HVX200 on one of those sites and I payed $2000 for a new HVX. This is what I get in the mail... The camera body. No lens, no electronics, no buttons. Just a hollow shell. Luckily we got our money back!

Totally! Even at Samy's they are very nice and have great service over there. When I got my 7D there, I got a great tutorial from one of the customer service personnel.
