Cameta Camera/Cameta Auctions

Hi,

I have settled on the Nikon D70S over the D70, and am looking at where
to buy. Local is out, as the camera with a cheap-o 28-80mm lens is
over $1000 - I have an N80 w/ a baseline 28-80mm AF Nikkor already (I
am going to get a nice 24-120mm VR lens from Nikon to go with it).
Anyway, BH offers the body only for $899, which is pretty reasonable.
Upon perusing Ebay, I came across Cameta Camera, AKA CametaAuctions.
They have a 99.8% positive feedback rating with over 90,000
transactions, and for $999 their USA D70S package includes:

- 1GB flash card
- USB card reader
- Camera case for the D70S - looks pretty nice, actually
- Spare battery
- Nikon one year USA Warranty
- A couple of other "chachkes"

If you want to see the auction (there are actually several), it is:

They seem legit, but I wanted to get some "street-level" feedback on
them as I am aware of the nefarious element in the online camera
business. Any feedback is really appreciated.

Totally legit based on many years and thousands of dollars of experience.

E-Mail me if you're still unsure.

Best,
Dave

 

No need to email - just looking for feedback on them. Like I said, it
seems like a standup operation, but you can't be too careful these
days. But feel free to email me your experiences with them. kombi45

I purchased a 2x teleconverter from them off ebay once. No problem with the
transaction.

I've purchase several grand worth of stuff from Cameta and they had it on my
porch the next day. I will only buy from B&H and Cameta. If you see
something you like that Cameta lists on eBay just give them a call instead
of bidding since it will them a few pennies. Good luck.

Thanks, Rita. That is actually what I was going to do, anyway, as I
want to get that warm and fuzzy from good old fashioned human contact
on this one! Anyway, everyone pretty much confirmed what I was
thinking - that these guys are on the level and I can get a smoking
deal.

Regards,

Ben

 

I've been a walk-in customer for years. This is an honest and reliable
shop.

 

Cameta's legit, at least as far as I can tell. I purchased a film
scanner from them at a good price last year, and my wife's dealt with
them as well. They run their web-biz primarily through eBay, which
seems a bit odd, but it seems to work for 'em.

They maintain a good eBay feedback rating, and they do OK with
resellerratings.com, as well.

 

I've bought thousands of $ from them & they are great!
