camera kings scam
Has anyone purchased digital cameras from Camera Kings on their website?
For the Canon 5D MarkII, for example, their listed price is $350 below the next vendor’s price. They claim they can do this because, according to a salesman, they are not an authorized Canon camera dealer. Still, that wouldn’t void the warranty, so no problems with that. But I cannot determine if this is a scam or not. Any thoughts?
Edwin: the rebates only apply if you buy an $800 Canon Pixma camera which I do not need. So we’re back to $2500. On further review, the Camera Kings Canon 5D is NOT gray market. It says USA Warranty; so the savings still is $350!
Response to answer #2:
Now why would I buy a refurb for $2249, when I can get a new one for $2149. Why don’t you read the post more carefully??
Honda – thank you. Can you provide a link so I can read those reviews? I dealt with them on the phone, and they were low-key (no pressure tactics.) The say the merch is not Gray Market. And American Express backs up any shady business from merchants who use their card.

I personally wouldn’t trust them to save a few hundred. If it is gray market Im not opposed for that reason alone. Ive bought gray market. I knew the risks and I saved $600 on a $1200 camera. That’s a much bigger savings than what Camera King offers for the risk.
