Any one ever used this company? It seems way too good to be true.

£2099 = £1306 at current exchange rates, but you may be also be stung for import duty and delivery.

Cheapest UK price is £1576 (Warehouse Express)

Crickey that's made a difference. Mad to think the exchange rate has gone to bellly up!

Still the price of a half decent glass less than here though...

As is very common with American dealers, they do NOT ship outside the USA (read their T&Cs).

Wow thats a good price for that camera. Might be worth buying up there if planning on going on a holiday.

If it was £1000-00 I would get my mate to send it to me. But with only £200-00 difference, it's not worth it.

Just a note of caution about buying anything overseas at the moment, the exchange rates are pretty hard to predict on a day to day basis.

Oh, and if you haven't got a VAT and customs receipt Nikon UK won't cover it under warranty.
