I'd be real careful with this outfit based on a quick look at some of these reviews...caveat emptor

Thunder Cameras (also: StopNShop) - thundercameras.com/ - Reviews, Ratings and Prices at ResellerRatings

just say no.

Stick with Adoram and B&H both have great prices and service. I've never had an issue with a product return either.

I don't know about other manufacturers, but Nikon only honors warranties if they are accompanied by a receipt from an authorized dealer. This company doesn't appear to be on Nikon's Authorized Dealer list, so you would likely have problems with any warranty claims for items purchased there.
