Has anyone used HDV Tools?

I know there's no such thing as a free lunch and that if it's too good to be true..... well, you know the rest. Their prices appear to be very tempting

Looks too good to be true. But a very nice website.
Canon 5D mkiii £1807.20inc good price.
All the addresses are in Chicago

Yes one assumes that they stock ( like Ian Kerr's/Flash Camera ) is from the US but from what I can gather, the invoice is raised in the UK. VAT is charged and presumably declared. Only question is how legit is the operation. Just about everything I'm looking for is better-priced....

Yes the prices are better. I'm in the market for a 5d mkiii and would be happy to pay that price, just don't want to take the risk with my money

Does buying an American model invalidate your warranty??

Completely agree wth you, No doubt some people still will though unfortunately.

No one deserves to lose money, but that site does look very suspicious and its right people should be alerted to it.

Thanks for the link Dex and all the comments Guys. Not worth the risk I dare say besides which there are a couple of dealers or so who have served us well here.
