Ok this is the deal:
I'm looking around now for a new camera (body only) 5d.
In the netherlands I can't find them under 2100,- euro's.

Today I came on a site i think it was usa 42nd street, and they offer a body for $2,467.95
(That's around 1.790,10 euro's)

Thing is i can't find on their site if they deliver in Holland aswell, and if so what the extra's costs are..

Does anyone know a good alternative webshop for such a price like this and ofcourse a reliable one :p

Thanks for any help!

I think you will find few US shops that ship to Europe. And you will have to pay hefty delivery and import tax.

I have used this shop 3 times in the past. They are in Hong Kong. They deliver for free, very quick and refund import tax reliably and promptly if you have to pay any.

Guarantee on imports is a bit of a grey area. Some people get service, others need to return the item to its country of purchase. But that would apply if you bought from the US as well.

Only you can decide if it's worth it. I wouldn't do it for a body, but for lenses the savings are (proportionally) bigger and guarantees are global.

Hope this helps
