This was taken from the "Policies" page from a website:

"We may contact you regarding adjustments to your order; including but not limited to tax and shipping which you will be informed of prior to billing. The charges at checkout may not be final. You will receive your final statement (receipt) with the arrival of your package. Pricing and availability are subject to change without notice.

Unbelievable! Hopefully no one here gets taken by these guys http://www.usaphotonation.com/default.asp

Yeah, I hear that Pany often ships Japanese cameras with no peripherals and no warrantee. Jan, shame on you! :engel017:

"Occasionally, the toll free line will not actually carry the analog signal. In these instances you will need to purchase the signal separately."
 
I know what you mean John. I was just doing a search for prices on the Canon 5D and these jokers came up with a price of $2,050.00. About a grand less than the going price from all the legitimate sources. I guess that lens cap, battery, charger, and strap must even the price up to $3.2k.

Digging a little more you see that they are outta New York. I'm sure just another one of the Brooklyn scammers.
 
The net is FULL of this crap. The price shown is usually the camera minus EVERYTHING that can be removed from box or unscrewed from body. Like buying a car without the tires and carburetor.

Then they hammer the buyer on the phone for the needed parts and sell them $30 accessories for $400 - Brutal.
