The other day I was talking to a local photography equipment company about the Canon 7D. I am planning on buying it. Everywhere around here is selling it for the same price 1599. I told them that a few people told me about Central Digital online and how the pricing is 1200 for it. He went on to tell me that those cameras are imports usually from China. He says people bring them over here and strip out the insides and put different ones in making it so cheap. He said that his company is an authorized dealer of Canon. Does anyone know if that really true? If I should be worried about buying from them? Or if its better to pay 300 dollars more from a local company selling extended warranty's
Also any recommendation on lens to go with the 7D? I was looking at the 24-70 f2.8 he said to do the 17-55 F2.8 with the image stabilizer?
I also told him I had the 50mm 1.8 canon and he said I should also get the 80mm1.8 but I thought those two lens are mostly the same?
I am only doing portraits, families, kids, toddlers, newborns. Inside and outside. My studio inside is in a very small 10*10 room so I cant back up that far.
Thanks for the help!
