TECHON Digital - Have you heard of them?

[cajunfan]

I am looking to purchase the Canon S5 IS. When I did a google search one of the listing was for a "TECHON Digital" website. They have the camera listed for $229 plus shipping. Has anyone ever ordered from them? In looking at the sight, it appears that they make their money in accessories (VERY HIGH there!). They say that all merchandise is new (so I am assuming it is not refurbished).

It jus sounds too good to be true (and I know that when things sound like that, there usually are not good! )

Thanks!

I have not dealt with them, but it sounds like a high preasure type sale. They make money if the sell you a battery , because the one that comes with the caemra is not good, or sell a sd card for 80.00 when you can get it for 30.00.

as always.... if it sounds to good to be true.... it most likely is...
