I believe that at the time, the camera was going for over $2000 at the likes of Ritz camera, and although I thought it was too low of a price to be true, I placed my order and when they wanted to "verify" my order over the phone, I cancelled it when they told me that the lens was not included and would cost an additional $500. The bastard hung up on me when I cancelled it, never got the email confirming I cancelled. Being that I work at a bank (all too familiar with fraud, should have noticed this before!), I cancelled my card and got a new one to avoid getting screwed over in the future. Like the article says, fork out more money if it is a retailer you trust. I almost dished out $800 for a Canon GL2 last April from Best Price Cameras.
