They are listed on Nikon Uk as an authorized dealer and they seem to be offering the D3 for 20% less than list (which is strange as the camera is back-ordered everywhere else)
I had heard they are grey imports which is less than ideal as its not a UK warranty
Is this the case?
Thanks

Had a 1dMK3 on order with them from February to August. I was initially told i was #3 on the waiting list. After getting sick of waiting i went to the shop (20 mins drive away) where i was shown my order which had me at #8 on the list.

I cancelled on the spot and asked that my deposit (£250) be refunded to my CC. They then claimed they had to charge me a 2.5% fee for cancellation, which they subsequently dropped when i made it clear i wasn't having that...there were other customers in there at the time and i made sure they heard this.

Several weeks later they phoned and said i had a camera for me, which i politely told them to keep as i'd bought a mint 1DMK2N and saved £1000.

It's your choice, but i wouldn't p1ss on them if the shop was on fire.

Thanks
These are the sort of replies which make me glad I am naturally cautious
I just find the business model of discounting a brand new (and very hard to get hold of) products an interesting one to say the least

To be fair, i do know a couple of happy customers, but that won't persuade me to give them another chance.
