K200d kit For $559.00

First post

Photo Dynasty has the kit cheap 559.00. I am buying a k200d kit and this is the cheapest by far that I have seen. Has anybody ordered from them? Should I look elsewhere.

Link PhotoDynasty.com

or photodynasty.com

They're not even listed on ResellerRatings. That's a giveaway right there. But if that wasn't enough, there's this:

Turn around and walk away.

I agree - walk (no, run) away! I went there and added the camera to the shopping cart and it pops up another screen of recommended accessories. A Sandisk 2GB bottom-of-the-line card was around $120! You can buy those most places for around $15! Like other rip-off sites, they will probably call you to "confirm" your order and try to make you buy all kinds of over-priced stuff like that. Stick with the legit sites like bhphotovideo.com or Amazon.

Sounds reasonable, but I can't imagine someone advertising for a business by questioning their reputation.

I am not plugging the site I am buying a k200d after researching dslr cameras for the last week. I came to the forum after searching the web for reviews on the site and couldn't find any. I want to thank joefru for the heads up and will be getting it the camera elsewhere.

BTW if I was as BBear implies, "doing ads for a suspicious retailer." Would I put in my original post, "Has anybody ordered from them? Should I look elsewhere. "
