didn't really find anything there ..just wondering if any one has any personal experiences

From what I can see

Body made in Thailand, Lens made in China has less functions then the ones made in Japan ??????

There again other reports state..

Nikon do use assembly facilities throughout Asia, but there is absolutely no meaningful (or even measurable) difference between a Nikon body assembled in Thailand or one assembled in Japan.

again other reports state..

The lens is different in the Thailand one, and different again in the Chinese one then the ones in Japan.

I found a Canon 7D incl Canon EFS 15-85 mm, Canon EFS 28-300 mm, 4Gb memory, battery, charger and camera bag. Everything for 1315.79 US incl shipping with UPS! Listprice must be just under 5000 US.

The funny thing is that they say the package will weight 1.0 kg but when I add the weight of the camera and the lenses that is more than 3.0 kg.

What happen when you send your money to China and tere will be no camera coming?

It is probably too cheap to be true!

There is no EF-S 28-300 from Canon on the market!!!

There is a EF 28-300 L IS lens, which costs Bt. about 90000 Baht list in Thailand, and is a monster in terms of size and weight.

The 7D body lists at 59 ooo here and the 15-85 at about 35000.

You can probably get that all for about 15% cheaper here when you buy gray import (and save an additional 10-20% (maybe) when bought in the US), but still, the price difference is so huge that it just cant be real! Caveat Emptor, most likely a fraud.
