If a reseller is listed on our authorized reseller list, they should be "legit" although there has been some confusion here and there. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it usually is. No MFT cameras are shipping yet.

Thanks for posting these. We'll look into it.

I ask them about delivery of MFT-models. Here the answer:

"We have ten available in stock and we offer delivery service internationally through Secure FedEx which will confirm will be deliver within 5 days."
Is this possible?

FAKE! I ask a local car dealer on the same street to check the adress. There are only two car dealers on this street. Like on streetview. And all other shops in south africa are on a pricelevel much higher.
Also the web-domain was created 30.12.2012.

Caution.
They just want to keep your money. :o
