I've never heard of them. I tried looking them up on ResellerRatings.com but came up empty.
After a quick look at their website I would be carful. It looks like they sell legitimate USA warrenty products at good prices but look at the "extras". $349 for a 1 GB CompactFlash card? I bet it's not even a high speed one.
If you order something that says it's in stock on their website but decline the extras and then they tell you it will be in in 3-4 weeks(or more) cancel your order immediatly! It's not worth a few bucks to deal with these guys!
I hope their trustworthy though. Good Luck!

It looks like they are very new. The WHOIS record for the domain shows the following:

It is highly unusual for a business to not use its own business name and address in the WHOIS contact information, something I would consider at least a little suspicious. Add to that the fact that the company is not listed on their web site either, and I'd suspect trouble. In any case, it looks like the company is probably a little too new to consider reputable. I'd stick with someone established; someone you know will be around and you'll be able to contact if you have a problem.
Also note that their "PriceHead certified merchant" and "ShopcartUSA.com certified merchant" icons which are marked "click to verify" are in fact NOT clickable, and are locally hosted on Prestige Camera's web site. I stay away.
