Has Anyone heard of a website called Camera Valley?

Q. Here is the link to the website
http://www.camera-valley.com/Canon_70D_EOS_DSLR_202MP_w_18-135mm_f35-56_STM_IS_Lens/p2204978_9954002.aspx


My Question is Do you think it is safe buying a camera from them?
I found the canon 70D for $787 VS 1500 on amazon
do you think it's to good to be true?

Thank for your answer

A. Website has only been registered since June 2013.
The registered contact is in Malaysia but their "about us" says New Zealand and Australia.
Site looks like something my 2 year old might have put together.
Prices too good to be true ....

787$ for 70D when it;s twice that at reputable stores like Amazon, Henrys, B&H? Hell even Digital Rev is selling it for 1300$!!!

Avoid this like the plague.


English homework... persuasive essay.. helpp!?
Q. I have to write an English essay, a persuasive one... it has to be on a controversy topic... i chose video game violence causing children to become violent. I need some quotes that are short and easy to read. I am also having to do a 2 minute speech on my topic in front of a camera and my English class. I don't want to use super big words because that will make my essay boring. I really want quotes for and against this topic that are easy to understand. Thanks for all the help. Also if anyone could, i need reasons for why people think this is true and untrue. Thanks. P.S. i normally don't need help on papers i write because it normally comes naturally but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place for the first time. I'm stumped. Thanks again...!!!

A. Here's a quote which takes the "no" position:
"We know from history, that tragic events often spark moral panics that target media. Recall the tremendous hue and cry following Columbine, where the predators in the mass violence were portrayed as loners who were addicted to violent video games, or the recent descriptions of the Newtown gunman as someone who was isolated and played with digital media for hours a day.

But as appealing as the anecdotal evidence is, empirically these findings don't hold up. Comprehensive, scientifically conducted reviews of the video game violence field such as those called for by some policymakers and advocates already exist: the U.S. Supreme Court as well as highly credible reviews by Australia and Sweden have all recently concluded that the existing video game research could not support direct links between violent entertainment and societal violence."
Michael Levine and Christopher Ferguson, Huffington Post, April 5 2013

And here's a quote that takes the "yes" position:
"Frequently playing violent video games is �strongly associated� with aggression in juveniles who have had trouble with the law, according to a new study co-authored by three Iowa State University professors and two other researchers.....�Playing violent video games is a risk factor for aggressive behavior,� said Matt DeLisi, an Iowa State University sociology professor and one of the paper�s five authors. �It is not the only factor, but is a factor.� "
from an article by Daniel P. Finney in the DesMoinesRegister.com, March 27 2013

Both authors quote scientific studies, and the two of them come up with opposite conculusions!
Good luck :)
