I just wanted to warn you guys that a lot of low priced camera stores are really scams. They sell camera's without batteries, they give you the wrong camera and most repair stores don't repair them. Here are a few bad sites you should be aware of.
shopcartusa.com broadwayphoto.com fotoconnection.com lowpricedigital.com oneclickdigital.com preferredphoto.com tvsdepot.com gbshopping.com pricingdepot.com diduprice.com digitalsaver.com royalphoto.com digitalliquidators.com photodynasty.com I'll add more when I come across them. PM me if you found some to add to the list. Last edited by Sir Travis D; 12-28-2008 at 04:23 AM. |

You ever hear the story about the guy that ordered a camera off a "genuine" site that had lots of good feedback? They sent him a rock in a box. (literally)

Exactly. They appear on places like google ads, most people would know better than to buy from places like that, and for example, fotoconnection offered the canon rebel xti for $250 cheaper than newegg. Here is an example of a complaint of the website.
http://www.consumeraffairs.com/camer...onnection.html They do not include things like batteries, have problems with your credit card ect. edit: Atleast 15 complaints of fotoconnection.com listed on consumeraffairs. |

Generally it's a good idea to check out the store ratings on this website http://www.resellerratings.com/ before you buy online.
