Apparently they don't make their money off their web page.
Maybe it's one of those "fronts" that organized crime uses for various reasons.
It's in Brooklyn after all.
Though I seem to recall someone screaming up a storm about these guys a while ago.
Edit: High reseller rating but this guy had something to say about them...

Family Photo and Video is the exact same company as Abe's of Maine, just operating as an alias. This company is like many other resellers from NY and NJ, in that they use deceptive practices, lie, push grey market goods, use high-pressure sales tactics, and try to sell you accessories that are supposed to come with the product from the factory.
I ordered an Olympus C-2500L from them (Abe's), and was assured they were sending the US model. I received a new-in-the-box European model, which was drop shipped from some place I had never heard of in south Florida. The camera, being grey market, came with a PAL video output, so I could not use the video out function. This, in spite of the fact that they assured me it was a US model. The European warranty would not apply in the States, according to Olympus.
They apologized, acted like they were surprised about the whole thing, acted innocent, and did refund my money without a huge delay. The only thing I lost was my UPS overnight shipping charges to return this turkey, amounting to $19. Stay away from these people! They are liars, and give honest Jewish people a bad name! They certainly aren't doing anything good for the Jewish community. And they're NOT in Maine, either.
If you've had a good experience with them, that's fine. But most likely, they will try to sell you more than you need, and give you less than you bargained for.
