Default Rolandtrade online shop?
Hi i am Peter from Slovenia and i want to buy a camera online, so i am looking for best prices and i came across this site...

ROLANDTRADE

It says its brand new shop, but the prices are crazy low.... and nobody yet knows if this is true or not...

Any opinions about this or any suggestions about shop with lowest prices on cameras?

TY.

If it appears to be a new shop with crazy-low prices, it probably falls into the "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is..." category. They might be legit but, if saving money is so vital, it is probably wiser not to risk it on the chance that they are a dodgy operation.

Exclamation Don't do it!
There's going to be a bunch of these "new online shops" popping up. They are mostly scams. A popular rouse is for thier Paypal/Credit Card checkout to be "broken" and they tell you you'll have to send a check or moneyorder in order to get these "great introductory prices".

Read their "About Us" page, and even though they say they have offices in the UK, the verbage reads like poorly translated Chinese. This would be a HUGE red flag for me.
