    Just when you thought it was safe to go back online shopping for great camera deals - remember Justcanon & Justnikon dot con?

    Now we have another one http://www.firstcameras.net/index.php

    Blatantly copied from another forum;
    When you "just" look them up in "whois", they seem legitimate enough. The record shows:

    Domain servers in listed order:

    NS1.FIRSTCAMERAS.NET 85.112.126.90

    Domain Expires on: 2012-01-20 06:49:37.0

    But when you then look up the IP address, another story turns up: :eek:

    inetnum: 85.112.126.0 - 85.112.126.255

    Conclusion: Don't just use whois to check the domain name. Use the IP address to be sure, where the server is located. :-)

    I saw these guys yesterday while i was looking for prices on a D700. If i remember correctly they were 40 or 500 euro cheaper than Warehouse Express.
    Now i know why :)

    With Warehouse Express already in Norwich it forced Jessops and other retailers to close in the city. Also Frensham Road is home to Warehouse Express as it is.
