Which stores do you guys use when you decide to import cameras...? I'm just looking around atm but came across these guys who seem to be completely legit.

Regardless of if they're legit
My last two purchases were sourced locally since it was far cheaper - but that's canon. Nikon buyers can expect the opposite to hold true.

It says on this page http://www.digitalrev.com/help/where-do-we-ship-to/Mjk_A that they'll only ship orders below $120 to SA.
Weird then. I guess you'll only know 100% if you actually do try and order from them.
Price on that D7100 is very tempting(body only). What did the total come to...?

I'll have to go and double check but if I remember correctly it was just over 12k all inclusive. And I added the 3 year MACK worldwide warranty and a 8Gb Extreme Pro SD Card.
Was that for the kit or body only?

Body only. Including shipping and import duties. The duties I paid when it landed at the post office. Was around R800
That's to be expected I guess. I see it's about $880 on their site it seems with express shipping adding another $90 or so.

I bought my first Canon from them (shipped from Hong Kong to UK). They were quick and professional, the camera was packaged like it was going to be air dropped onto the surface of Mars. I really can't complain!
Also, I can assure you they're legit. They used to be a mortar store in Hong Kong - I've I've shopped there in 2008. I believe they've closed down the physical store since - too bad, it was a really nice place: everything laid out on the table Apple Store style.
So it's turns out you were right. No shipping to SA because of "issues with customs".
