    Brilliant to deal with - Albert is great - no problems whatsoever.

    Not sure if there current ebay stuff still mentions you can request when paying they put 'sample - not for resale' on the package..... ;)

    No problem buying from them - but just wait (and save) that little while longer and go for the D300. The jump in camera, is much bigger than the jump in money. Buy is body-only a borrow a lens if you have to, it'll be worth it.

    I purchased a Hoya filter off them and paid for the insured delivery. They only sent it by regular post. When I asked for the couple of euro back or as a credit note for my next purchase from them they completely ignored me. But I still saved a lot of money off buying it here.

    i'd agree...but i think its hard to justify this sort of statement unless the person has had alot of experience with the camera themselves

    Do they offer EU bodies or Non EU bodies ?

    warranty will only be applicable if its an EU body.

    I paid £ 619 for my kit from calumet
    less 50 cashback = £ 569 plus a tenba DC17 bag FREE as shown Here

    what do you think of the deal ?

    was from calumet.
