royal camera is a scam - DO NOT BUY FROM THEM - they will turn around and try to sell you "extras" that should come with the camera in the first place...Stay away from them!

I always check http://www.resellerratings.com/ when purchasing from an online store for the first time. I won't purchase from a store that has less than a few hundred reviews and a score of least an 8.5 or better.

Another thing to look out for and that many people overlook (online stores, eBay, etc) is "FULL US MANUFACUTRE WARRANTIES" Make sure you read the fine print and visit the manufacture web site (Cannon, Panasonic, Sony, etc...) and make sure they are an authorized dealer. BE CAREFUL because some place state US WARRANTY, but what they’re doing is selling "Gray Market" or "B-Stock" items with a Mack or other 3rd party warranty. This won't make any difference to you UNTIL you have a problem and end up paying $100's to get your equipment repaired....

Check out this post for online purchases gone bad: http://forums.wakeboarder.com/viewtopic.php?t=36455

If the price it too good to be true, there's a reason....

I had the same experience with them when I tried to take advantage of one of their impossibly low priced items. They were mysteriously out of stock of the individual item but had plenty of the bundled "deals" available.
