STAY AWAY FROM EXPRESSCAMERAS.COM! I placed an order for a Nikon 12 - 24mm Lens for $699 on January 16th, along with $50 for shipping. This is after reading great reviews from Shopingcartusa.com, which I now know has been defrauded by this company. I received an email the same day stating that I needed to call to confirm credit card information. I called and the person I spoke with said that he could provide me with a special offer for a Sigma 12 - 24mm lens and three filters for $899. I know a thing or two about camera's and Lenses, so I told him that I wont purchase anything but Nikon glass, and that $899 for a Sigma was absurd. He promptly said enjoy your order and hung up... After speaking with a co-worker about expresscameras.com, he promptly pointed me to resellerratings.com where I learned the truth. I called my credit card fraud department and told them to not allow any charges from expresscameras.com or the parent company. The next day, I received an email saying that they had oversold the lens, and my order had been canceled. We all know this is a lie, they make their money on bait and switch, and never intend to sell the products for the price listed on any of their sites. PLEASE STAY AWAY, and thank you for this site that has real reviews.
