I'm looking into picking up an XSi since I sold my 40D a couple days ago and soniccameras dot com seems to have the best prices online. Has anyone ever bought a camera from them? Thanks in advance...

 

Just search their name with Google and you'll find out. Any place that had TOO good of a price, just search Google and you'll find out. There are some out there that have 10-15 websites trying to sell. Also with some you get Grey market items.

IF you want to buy online SAFELY it's amazon.com, bhphoto, beachcamera, adorama, canogacamera.


If you look for the best price, be prepared to one get the bait and switch, two have your identity stolen.

 

A lot of these "no name" places do have what they are advertising, however it is equipment that was never made for the US market. What that means is if something were to go wrong and you needed to have it repaired, Canon or Nikon or whoever would look up the S/N and deny any kind of warranty.

 

Yea, thanks for the heads-up, looks like a bait and switch operation. I'll look up on those other websites.

 

yes, sonic cameras is a bait and switch company...stick with the well-trusted companies that jupiter mentioned...

 

resellerratings.com.
Never buy a camera from anywhere without looking them up on that site first.

There are plenty of good sites out there, just do some homework.
I used buydig.com a lot for my point and shoots. I bought my Casio from some bizarre sounding site name, but was highly regarded on the dpreview forums.
