I'm about to pick up a digital SLR and have found some pretty amazing prices through USA Photo Nation. Has anybody had experience with these guys? Would appreciate your advice.

Hi John,
I hope all is well with you and yours in Hawaii. Nice to see you popping by the Cow.
You may wish to check out resellerratings.com as they rank many of the resellers out there. Too bad there isn't some way of knowing the large number of people they have saved from making bad buying choices. I have joked they could do it like the old McDonals signs, you know, the ones that used to say Over Two Billion Served.

Excuse me, John. The point-one-five (.15) rating out of a possible 10 was for a six-month rating. Their lifetime rating *soars* to a stratospheric point-six-two (.62) out of ten. ;o)
So, I think the answer to your question "Anybody buy gear through USA Photo Nation?" is that lots of people have ordered but few actually get the product.

John,
The saying "If the deal is too good to be true .... well you know the rest".
The internet is full of details regarding great deals online well below wholesale prices but only later do you learn of the shady "gray market" and marked up accessories afterwards.
Buyer beware is my best advice regarding the purchase of products advertised well below the market rate.
