Rumors > EOS Bodies
how much should i expect to pay for T3i ?
theregoesjb:
i keep eyeing the camera body for 660.00 on a couple sites but the more i look the around the more i realize that this price is significantly lower than a lot of others.
Is this likely a really good deal that may pass after the holidays?
Or could it be grey market?
I learned recently about photography equipment and the whole grey market thing and am now a little paranoid of buying one... but of course also want to pay the lowest legitimate price.

If you are really 'scared', I would recommend buying it in a reputable store. Even if means paying slightly more for it. See it as paying for the peace of mind ;) You will also get better results with service after purchase, should something be wrong with your camera.
Btw, B&H lists it for $659,95 so that seems about right.

If you have any questions in regards to a specific seller, I would suggest using Google to search for reviews of the seller. With Grey Market camera gear, I have seen some pretty interesting stuff. Such as a Canon 50mm f/1.4 that was lighter, and had a plastic that was no better than the 1.8 model or a standard kit lens. Be careful with dealers online, because if the price is "too good to be true" it probably is.

Canon sells refurbs at their site for $719 with kit lens. No one legitimate sells a new one this low. It has nothing to do with grey market, you are getting scammed, plain and simple. Grey market new camera kits will be well over the Canon refurb price as well.
