im looking into buying a canon 30d and found this site while searching selling the body only for $349.00. i have been told to wait until PMA for the *40d*. but from using my friends xti the digital slr bug has bitten and i want my own. I plan on using it with the cannon 70-200mm f/4.0L because i cannot afford the 2.8.

heres the link to the camera.

If it is too good to be true it is a scam. B&H along with a host of other online retails are reputable. Never hurts to check Amazon.com either. Adorama.com too. Costco carries the 30D also.

Sure it is, along as you buy a $900 service contract to go with it!

Look for the site Consumer reviews or crap, what's the name of the site that rates online retailers? Anyhow, Express has been around a while, do yourself a favor and steer clear. B&H or BeachCamera, BuyDig are good sites to benchmark the street price on. I always check http://www.pricewatch.com to find the lowest price of a product.

Good luck!
