All of these things were way over priced (hence their low price on the camera)!

I finally got past their high pressure sales and let them know I only wanted the camera. They said fine and they would get it out.

The next day I received an email that said "Due to the product you ordered being out of stock for 6-8 weeks from today's date. We regret to inform you that the order is canceled due to the product being on backorder. when or if we get the product again in stock soon will send you an email to place an order please do not resubmit your order again . sorry again and thanks for your understanding ."

Their web site said it was "available" so I called. This time I said I would take the 1G sd memory card for $179.00 (it was $120.00 when I confirmed the order) and they told me that both were in stock. When I told him about the email I received, he said it was only available as a package deal but that isn't what the web site said.

In short, this is a SCAM!!! They have things but will only sell them to you if you buy the OVER PRICED extras!

i JUST WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING - I FINALLY TOLD THEM TO CANCEL MY ORDER! Now I am finding I am not the only one who thinks they are scam artist!
