Canon T4i body only for $739 at rythercamera.com

I just bought the deal yesterday for this camera plus the 18-55 lens for $800 which is a gamble because it isn't from an authorized dealer. However, this one I would worry more about. At least the one I bought from is a pretty well known company. I haven't heard of these guys and they are definitely not on the Canon Authorized Reseller List. But the thing that concerns me more is they are selling the 18-135 stm lens all by itself, for $369. I haven't seen anyone offer the lens by itself. I didn't think Canon had even shipped any outside the t4i kit. And last I heard the retail was going to be $550 or something (which, yes, is ridiculous). Anyway, that alone makes me wonder what this company is pulling. I'd beware.

I'm in the market for a D7000, and I was just looking at the RytherCamera Reseller Ratings earlier tonight: http://www.resellerratings.com/st...er_Camera/

Seems that Ryther's deal is that they sell gray market cameras, but they call you after you order to tell you that it's a gray market camera. You either accept that, or they offer to sell you a US camera for more money.

I also read this about the Nikon gray market tonight: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/gray-market.htm

I think I'll be buying a US camera from Amazon.

That makes sense.
