Black Monday at B&H photo???

I am looking to purchase a D80 next week. I have found it for $299 at both Express Camera and Best Price Camera.

Lets see...an $800 camera body (BH price) for only $300. Any deal that good is likely to be a bad deal. Most camera places like this mark up the bill by adding $150 for the battery, $100 for the charger, $100 for the manual, etc. They won't sell you "just" a body at $300. By the time you add up all the "required" options, you're back to the price of a reputable dealer. Before you buy from one of these dealers, search the internet (and dpreview.com) on your prospective company and see what other people say about them. These companies are so disreputable that you probably can't even use them to get a legitimate company to price match.

Wow, want a battery from them? That will be $200. A 2 gb CF card? $140, unless you want the "professional" model for $300. How about an $80 card reader? And who would buy a $400 warranty on a $300 camera? A quick Google search came up with some very interesting consistent reviews, ones very contrary to those posted on Express Camera's website. Do yourself a favor and buy from a reputable place like B&H.
