I found the 5D at ExpressCameras & TheCamerPros for under $2200. They
claim new with full US Warrantees. There may be more. B&H and the
other "names" are still around $3K. Is this legit or am I missing
something?

Best regards,

They have an EXTREMELY low rating on PriceGrabber.com.

You should probably read some of this feedback before thinking about
purchasing from Express Cameras.

Looks like you should avoid the other guys too.

B&H may cost more but I have never had an issue with them and have been
buying from them for years (bodies, lenses, accessories). Always fair, no
bait & switch, no disassembled kits, no problems with returns, and a real
physical store you can go to if you have to.

Whenever a seller is WAY under B&H, I'd stay far, far away.

Grey market, box stripped of accessories, a shill on the phone
calling to "confirm" your order, trying to sell you second-rate junk
accessories at hugely inflated prices, by the time you buy back what
CANON provided in the normal kit, you'll be looking at what you saved
or worse.
