Hello,
I am openning a digital camera shop which sells professional digital
cameras(such as Canon EOS 20D, Canon EOS 5D, etc.)

I myself did some researchs at google and all I found were rippers and
scammers. I think my searching ability is worse than the worst.

That is my situation.
---
So, what I need are:

1. TRUSTABLE Wholsalers or Suppliers for Professional Digital Cameras
(you should focus on the Canon 20D and Canon 5D. It is good if some
Nikon Models also are included)
Note: I say TRUSTABLE which means YOU have to VERIFY them to be LEGIT
(i mean real and legal. NOT Ripper or Scammer)

2. They (Wholesalers or Suppliers) must be located in THE US or
SINGAPORE or HONGKONG. I can get access to only these 3 coutries.

---

If you can find a good wholesaler/supplier, the 200 USD fee is just
too cheap. I  promise to have good tips if I am satisfied with the
results.

In order to narrow the research, please follow these criterias:

1. Canon 20D must NOT be more than 850 USD (included the shipping fee
within US) for one item. And Canon 5D must NOT be more than 2250 USD
(I've already had a legit supplier who offers those prices. Those
price are not good enough. And also He does not offer discount when I
buy more than 1 item)

2. Please WRITE DOWN IN YOUR ANSWER the prices and also SHIPPING FEEs,
then give me link below. This will make it easier for me to have an
overview of all results.

2. Items must be BRAND NEW, not REFURBISHED.

I would love to have the answer BEFORE X-MAS.
Thank you!

Sorry I missed some words. It should be

"... Note: I say TRUSTABLE which means YOU have to VERIFY / MAKE SURE
them to be LEGIT BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWER (LEGIT here means real
and legal. NOT Ripper or Scammer)"

Also one more thing:
THE ABOVE PRICES FOR CANON 20D AND 5D ARE FOR THE CAMERA BODY ONLY.
YOUR RESEARCH SHOULD FOCUS ON PRICES FOR ONLY CAMERA BODYS (THERE ARE
MANY CAMERA KITS, BUNDLES WHICH ARE REALLY HARD TO KNOW THE REAL
PRICE)

Hello,
I just did a research on the above supplier who I mentioned as LEGIT SUPPLIER.
That is GeniusCameras.Com (you can even see it in the Google Sponsored
Link above this question.

All I found out was again another Ripper :(

So, just find me a good wholesaler for Canon and Nikon Professional
Camera which are suitable for my situation. Plz opt out the criteria
of the price of items. I am now not sure if you can find a Canon 20D
for less than 850 USDv:(

Thank you, Craig for your idea.
Infact I did search at alibaba.com b4 and it was really hard to find a
real supplier there. 100% the guy I contacted turned out to be
rippers.

I got feed up with researching and checking those suppliers :(

I hope someone will do the research for me and print here the result.
Thank you!

Hello -

The reason you're finding a lot of "rippers" and "scammers" is because
there's no such thing as a legitimate "wholesaler" of Canon products. 
You must become an authorized dealer of Canon -- from which you will
receive products directly -- to retail to your customers.  Would you
like me to provide information to you on the qualifications necessary
and the steps needed to become one?

To jbf777:
Thanks for your attempt.
I am myself a Nikon Authorized Retailer (I did not apply for Canon
since Canon does not offer a good deal for its retailers (at least it
is the situation in my area)

I am pretty sure that there are people who can provide the stuffs with
better price than a Canon Authorized Retailer can obtain from Canon.
I dont know why but some of my rivals have such the sources. They sell
Canon 20D body for 1100 USD with 1 year guarantee or 1050 USD without
guarantee. and their stuff is BRAND NEW.

That's why I started searching for other sources rather than being an
Authorized Retailer.

I hope some reseachers here can provide me a result before X-Mas.
If the price for Canon 20D body is less than 950 USD, I think it is good enough.

Thank you!

Place a Buying Lead on alibaba.com with the constraints of what you
want and I'll bet someone out there will be more than happy to fulfill
your request.
