Careful, they sold me a Canadian one when I ordered from them last year. I don't think warranty will cover it internationally

That would suck if you end up needing it, #1..

I cant speak to the quality of the store, but the camera is awesome. You know all those expensive f/1.8 lenses you can get? This stops down to f/0 This camera (imo) is the best compact available for low light situations. And it has most of the manual control of an SLR with aperture, shutter, and full manual modes, manual focus, RAW mode, etc etc. I cant recommend this camera enough.

f/0? Huh?

It's an F2.0 lens.

I got my f/1.7 lens for less then $30..

what's your point, #5? Your lens cannot take picture on its own, it's nowhere as wide as 24mm (that's around 15mm in non-full frame dSLR sense), it probably doesn't have any zoom, and if it does it won't give you constant f stop, and it probably doesn't even auto-focus, and I'm sure it doesn't have an LCD.

I paid $499 for it in August when it was in short supply. No regrets as I used it on our vacation and the photos were incredible! Best photos at ISO 80 though nighttime available light at 800 is usable. Wonderful camera!
