Good deal, at least for the R6 ii. These are tax-included prices.

I've tried this site and it appears to be legit - Kind of like the Hotel booking site where you agree to a certain price - not knowing exactly what hotel -

They guarantee that you'll get a new product with USA warranty, but won't tell you who's selling it.

Seems legit....just not knowing.....

I've bought a Zeiss binoculars and a Canon R6 ii on this site. No problems at all. The sellers are manufacturer-authorized dealers. Once payment is complete, the seller will be revealed.

Though I was in a bit of a tight spot when I tried them - going for an R6 II w RF 24-105L -
the lowest price was in keeping with the offer the OP got.

Sure would like to know whom the eventual seller was for those purchasing a Canon Smilie (knowing it could be different for others.)

Well, they hook you up with smaller retailers outside of your state, so there is no tax charged - yet.

What I recall, they communicate as how you may get a seller to bite - sometimes by inching up your offer to show that you're flexible and willing to negotiate,

Switching systems from Pentax and I am torn between Sony and Canon FF mirrorless. I hear that both are good but lens selection and cost is worse with Canon... any educated thoughts?

i just got a Sony a7 iv last week thru greentoe, it came from a well established shop thats an authorized dealer--even came with a receipt for full price not the discounted price for warranty purposes.

can also confirm hat i did not pay any additional (tax, shipping etc), my offer was all in price. which for me in NY is a pretty big savings.

i'm actually a canon shooter but have not bought a new camera in almost 10 years (6D v1), i was really torn on R6 vs A7, i went sony for something different and better 3rd party lenses, i'm using my sony with a sigma adaptor for my ef lenses and its still super fast. but still 2nd guessing myself leaving a system i've been shooting for almost 20 years.

Nobody can answer a question like that. Do you have any particular genres you're shooting? Do you know what kind of lenses you need? Do you have any existing lenses?

I already had five Canon EF lenses, including expensive L-series zoom lenses. They all work perfectly with the Canon mirrorless. Canon sold over 10 million EF lenses; there is a HUGE used market of EF lenses. You can pick up a 70-200 f/2.8 image stabilized lens for under $1,000 which has incredible image quality.

Sure, if you insist on buying only Tier 1, brand-new, best-quality lenses, Canon costs a little bit more. If you want affordable lenses, the used Canon EF market kills Sony.

This particular camera is incredible. You would be hard-pressed to have requirements which exceed this camera's capabilities, unless you want one of the $5,000 global shutter cameras out there.

I've done my fair share of research on both bodies and they appear to be neck and neck in a lot of areas. I'll be doing indoor action photos of my kids plus other generic family photography, odds and ends. I'd love to turn what I'm doing to a side gig of indoor competition photography. My question was mainly seeing if anyone has had both or has had the experience of purchasing good quality glass for both. The videos I've been looking at for both are a little dated at this point so I didn't know if something had changed with quality lens availability without having to use adapters etc. my big priorities are sharpness and autofocus speed in photography mode

Not all adapters are the same… by a long shot.
In the case of Canon, they engineered the new mirrorless mount and the cameras to accept the older EF lenses. Compatibility is guaranteed. The adapter is not optical, it simply adds more space because the lens flange to sensor distance in the mirrorless mount is shorter. If you have a compatibility problem, you can send the camera, mount and lens to Canon for calibration… although this is very rare, but at least you can get support for it.

I keep a Canon adapter on my Canon body 100% of the time, and just change out my EF lenses. They work 100% perfectly on the Canon mirrorless body. LOTS of people are doing this, because replacing a set of perfectly working EF-L lenses can cost well over $5,000, and you don't get anything new… why do that? Optically, lenses like the EF 70-200 f/2.8 IS II are utterly phenomenal and it makes little sense not to use one.

But adapters such as Metabones, which convert Canon lenses to Sony, for instance, that's a different story. You have three different brands so nobody can guarantee compatibility, and the expensive adapter has to electrically convert focus and aperture instructions from Canon to Sony. Not a great idea.

Thank you for the response. Yeah I am basically starting over. Loved my Pentax set up for a long time but it's time to move on. Since I will be starting fresh I want to move into a system that I can love for a long time. Coming from Pentax means having to figure all of that out again. I am looking to start out with a 24-105mm f4 and see how far that gets me. I know both Sony and Canon have an offering in the focal length / aperture setup. It will be a little constraining but I'll have to start somewhere. Seems like Canon could serve me better in low light with an f4 due to the low mp count but like I said mirrorless is completely foreign to me.

I am also considering the A7c II I don't NEED 2 cars slots but I like the insurance and the cii has great autofocus features.
