I mostly sell on eBay and have been a member for 9 yrs. Before buying from anyone, check their feedback score. If it's less than 100%, read some of the feedback to see who your buying from. Most important. Do they have a return policy? You can get good deals on eBay, but just be consumer smart. If someone is offering a kit, pick it apart and look at the individual prices of items in the kit to see if your really getting a good deal. The main difference between eBay and Amazon is that Amazon has a very good customer service and stand behind what they sell with a good return policy on many items. Ebay, well a lot of sellers on eBay do not have a return policy, and should you buy something that is not as described, you might have a hassle working it out with them, and have to get Ebay customer service involved. I say this from experience in buying from both. Again, just be consumer smart. Good luck!

Yes, If I can find the same item at Amazon with lower price or similar price, I always buy at Amazon. Amazon is definitely the best online store with fastest shipping and reliable return policy. I am thinking to buy a new camera at Amazon now - maybe Canon Powershot SD880 IS as a friend recommends. I wish the price for this camera at Amozon would be more competitive.

Although this thread is about cameras, I found it on a gooogle search of "Amazon versus buy.com". In my experience (mainly on books) I much prefer the Amazon website because of the reviews and good interface. But buy.com tends to be a bit cheaper. Generally a dollar or so for a typical $15 book. But where buy.com is much better (and why I tend to order from them) is the shipping. If you go for Amazon's free shipping, they seem to always sit on the shipment for a week before sending it out. Buy.com, although they say free shipping will take longer, it seems my packages always get shipped within a couple of days.

Always check these sites with bbb.org. fotoconnection is a scam. Only Amazon stands by their price for 30 days + no tax!

No that battery is for the Canon EOS Cameras. Canon 40D uses a much smaller and cheaper battery.

The white box one mentions list price as $499, while this one says $800. I checked at Canon web site. The list price for this lens should be $499. So any clues why Amazon has it listed as $800 on this page? Are there two versions of the same lens - i.e. is this the newer version compared to White Box offer? This is all too confusing as there are listings for seeming the same product. I understand the reason behind White Box etc., but why difference in list price???

I would call Canon and bitch them out. Sadly, it seems like all the manufacturer are doing the same thing and I think it's a crock. Who wants to sit at the PC and read what I heard is a 96 page manual with COPY stamped on it. I was going to buy the 20is and found out there was no manual. I don't have to have a Canon for a P&S;, I would rather find one with a manual, which I haven't yet.

I learned some time ago that if I bring in my printout to a local shop, as long as Amazon is an authorized dealer in say Canon or the brand I"m buying, they will beat the price if they haven't already. The local shop has been around for years, handles the areas "big box" warranties and offers a way better deal than here on Amazon. Amazon has lost a good amount of money from me because of things like this thread not to mention it takes quite some time to ship big ticket items to me when the local place is 10 mins. away and has it in stock. The only thing I still order from Amazon is books. Good luck to all that are waiting, I"m going to the store in the am for mine.

Yes, Amazon could do a lot better job of letting its customers know that it is in fact a USA model. Amazon is an official Canon USA seller. You can go to Canons page and look at their list of authorized USA dealers.

The list price, on Amazon, or any other web site means nothing. I have a Canon camera that I paid $429 for new three years ago, and that had a list price of $649, but no one ever sold it for that price. The Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP for $450.00 is a far better deal than the Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP at $400.00. It has far more features, is about two years younger, and shoots video in the HD movie mode. The Canon Rebel XS does not shoot video, only still photos.

Thanks for the response. In the interim from posting and now I actually purchased a Canon as the gift, but I found a lot of solid information about photo formats and more at CNet.

Please visit the Nikon USA web site and your questions will be accurately answered. All of them. Occasionally there will be a special offer by a SELLER and additional goodies will be included. I think it is always a good idea to visit the manufacturer's web site before purchasing any expensive item. Then you can look around to see if there are any further deals. The only gotcha is when you buy a product that was intended to be sold in another country. These products are called "grey market" and may include different accessories and warranty. This is particularly true with cameras and lenses. Amazon.com is a Nikon, Canon, etc, dealer and therefore does not sell grey market items unless they are so identified. However, be careful of third party offerings on this web site. If in doubt, contact the vendor by email through Amazon and ask explicit questions.

Gray market means that this lens is not distributed officially by Canon in the USA, so you don't have warranty of Canon USA, that's why is cheaper.The lens is the same lens, so if you don't care about the warranty go for it.Good luck!

I'm confused. A number of Canon D10 third party sellers on Amazon, state they have the D10 in stock and it's shipping.Why then does Amazon state "This item has not yet been released."?

Unfortunately I've sold my camera right away, but check out this link: http://www.google.com.sa/url?sa=t&rct;=j&q;=&esrc;=s&source;=web&cd;=3&cad;=rja&ved;=0CEsQFjAC&url;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usa.canon.com%2Fapp%2Fpdf%2Fd_eos%2FEOSREBELT2_manual.pdf&ei;=oqniUrGJBaWN4ATcuYCICw&usg;=AFQjCNGRARQFWIULx5lN3FT1dpB_YIeacA&sig2;=zTpB5HHJyGAwO353ekTHuw I hope this answer your question.

It's listed for 10,399 currently on Amazon, same price as elsewhere (and for $10,499 on the Canon site). Why would you assume they are lying? Perhaps this was the initial list price and it was an oversight that it didn't get changed. Why would this make you not buy through Amazon? I don't get it.
