After multiple purchases from DigitalRev, I can honestly say you won't have worries with them. They're a very great company.

Yep digital rev is awesome, and their reviews are really nice to watch.

You won't be dinged with an import fee if you have it sent to the US, and you will actually have a major advantage because you will have a warranty from digital rev, where as Canon USA would not transfer your warranty to bangladesh.

Digital Rev all the way.

For those in the UK, your best bet is ProCameraShop even cheaper than DigitalRev and awesome service.
I cannot dispute your claim about ProCameraShop's service as I have never used their services, I am sure they are really good ... but price wise they are no match to DigitalRev ... compare the below difference in price:
Prices of Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM at:
ProCameraShop: GBP 439.99 (USD 691.52)
DigitalRev: USD 394.83

Prices of Canon EOS 7D at:
ProCameraShop: GBP 729.99 (US$1147.47)
DigitalRev: USD 1101.03


Depends on what you're looking at.


EF 100 2.8L IS - DigitalRev: £585 / ProCameraShop: £567


EOS 5D Mk3 - DigitalRev: £2050 / ProCameraShop: £1999


EOS 1DX - DigitalRev: £4239 / ProCameraShop: £4197




PLUS... With ProCameraShop you get an extra 3% off by paying with a transfer which is simple to do.


On the 5D Mk3 that's an additional £59.97 off, making the final price £1939.03.


A whole £111 cheaper than DigitaRev.


Imagine the difference the 3% would make on the 1DX...

Warranty difference Hmmmm......... Then again maybe a single sentence that seems to cover 'any fault' is a bit of a result! ;)


ProCameraShop's (well all I can find)

I had a live chat with Digitalrev customer service rep today, as I was planning on Pre-ordering Nikon D7100 (as they do not charge shipping and they also take care of customs duty) ... but strangely they still do not have the price available for Nikon D7100, while pretty much every other website has disclosed the price to US$ 1196.05

Two months ago I order the Canon EF 40mm STM - something cheap to give digitalrev a chance. I live in Germany, maybe somebody is interested in my experience.

1) The item got shipped fast, but the tracking ID was not really helpful.
2) I paid 2,50€ for something I don't know, but apart from that, no customs or anything.
3) a couple of days after the proposed delivery date I contacted the support to ask where my article would be, they immediately gave me a new tracking ID for another delivery service. My article already arrived in Germany.
4) 4 days later the tracking told me the article would be in a little village next to London, so I contacted the support again. After a few hours they promised to do investigations
5) a couple of days later they admitted the article would be "lost in transit"
6) I could choose between money back and another try, I chose the first.
7) 12 days later I got my money back.

So I'd say, if you have time and you don't mind all these circumstances, I'd risk it and order there. In the worst case you haven't got the article, but haven't lost any money neither. In the best case you can save up to 40%. So why not?
