Anybody recently bought from Cameta Camera?

Their reseller ratings look decent. And a search in the threads revealed almost 3 year old posts.

I am wondering if anybody had any recent buying experiences with them?

Are they reliable for online shopping? They do seem to have some good deals.

Yep, I bought battery grip for the Pentax K200D from them. Good price, fast delivery and good customer service.

Thanks Steve.

They seem like a safe store. I got cautious because some of their prices are too low.

Yep, I can understand your caution. The battery grip worked out at half UK price, even with shipping. Also there was no duty or tax to pay, so that was a bonus.

Yeah, they are quite reliable, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them. I bought a camera kit a couple of years back, quick shipping, good prices, no issues whatsoever.

I've bought from both, off of Amazon. No problems.

I live very close to their brick and mortar store and buy from them almost exclusively. Besides very good prices I got to know their sales staff pretty well and they are a great bunch of guys who bend over backwards to satisfy their customers. Ex. I've bought manufacturers' refurbished lenses from them, which are not guaranteed to come with their respective hoods, but they've always made sure the hoods came with the lenses I bought. In addition, I've always heard good things said about them from people on other forums. I wouldn't hesitate buying from them if you've got a good deal from them.

I bought my first digital (Olympus C-3000 Zoom) from them in 2002, I think. Arrived promptly, as described.
