Ben's Bargains Serving Fresh Deals 24/7

To take advantage of the 15 megapixels, you need some nice lenses, so don't buy cheap lenses for this.

hmm this would make a great Christmas present

That would be nice to have a camera that can also record at 1080p. I record videos at 640*480 on my old Powershot S5 and the files get pretty big after twenty minutes (2+ gigs). Can't imagine how big the files would be at 1080p. You probably need at least an 8 or 16 gig SDHC card to record anything significant.

#2 don't post cheap camera deals unless you know the retailer is legit. I'm not sure about fumfie.com, but there are a lot of shady bait-n-switch online camera retailers out there. Their site layout sure doesn't convince me either.

Just checked and it seems fumfie is decent: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/fumfie

#5,

I did check resellerratings as I always do before I post. In fact Fumfie is rated higher than Butterfly there. I found 3 other sites that were cheaper, but they were iffy.

Thanks #6.

This is a great camera.. wish I had waited in buying my Canon xsi. Oh well.

Amazon just had that mega deal two days ago I would hold out on that the items are supposed to come back in stock soon.

#6 #7 someone ask about them in dpreview forum and it doesn't seem assuring. You guys may be right but I'd be more careful.

Definitely shady at best.

Before reading these threads, I placed an order with them. They promptly sent me an email asking me to call back to confirm, and the email ostensibly came from a gmail account of theirs: "Fumfie.com" , but with the following Internet Headers:

[emphasis mine]

Obviously, I canceled, notified the credit card and close friends at the Fraud Division of the Office US Attorney.

Their ratings at resellerratings.com are highly suspect.

Might make for a decent upgrade to my aging 10D... the 18-55is IS a decent lens, not the el-cheapo non-stabilized kit lens that is crap.

Canon needs to invest a little more in the body of these things. The smooth plastic feels very cheap. They need to change over to textured rubberized orange skin or something.

Too bad this isn't one of Ben's weekly giveaways.

Not a bad price. Could be better!

not a bad deal, I'm tempted to get one of these but I already have 3 other cameras so I will wait a bit longer.

FYI the Amazon deal is back on.

I copped the camera + 55mm IS + 250MM IS + 58mm UV Filter for 793 blowing this $ 733 deal to hell. These are the deals you don't see on Bens
