Does anyone know anything about this business?

Prices ARE too good, and NOT true - - avoid them - they tried to scam me - if you don't buy extras at exorbitant prices, they basically cancel your order of the stuff you want.

DaProf, welcome to RR and sorry to hear that you went through the same drama I did. Hopefully, you'll be able to find a good deal somewhere else.

I did some search and I think Newegg is giving the best deal for Canon A570 IS currently.

FYI: I am not affiliated with Newegg.

Hey everyone else, thanks for the leg work - I almost got caught with a "too good to believe" deal. I did notice the the accessories were way overpriced though - that and something else caught my eye.

They have obviously attempted to rip off the good name of 46th St Photo in Manhattan, which is a retail outlet also. But the other thing to notice is that they are closed on Saturday's and their 347 area code is from Brooklyn. This means that Hadistic Jews run the operation and there are many rip-off artists among them - they operate like gypsy's. Now, 46th St photo is run by Hadistic Jews and I can tell you from personal experience, before the Internet even existed and when I used to work 2 blocks from their retail store, that they are reputable and truly care about customer service.

The above said, I hope that the owners of 46th St Photo follow up to put these guys out of business. My guess is that 86th St. NEVER ship a reduced price product unless you buy upgrades or accessories.

Be well everyone.

Dave

P.S. - Please don't read into my above comments that I am an anti-Semite.

Just do a search i cant see how this place stays open. They can whip out the websites faster than we can blink.

You can definitely rely on B&H. They are NOT the typical NY Cty store. you will get exactly what you want with no attempt at upselling, priced right and shipped very fast.

86th Street Photo & Video,
I bought a garmin GPS system from these guys only to get con'ed into buying crap I never needed. When I got the bill it was over 700.00 when the sale price was 350.00, I call the customer service to resolve this and was hung up on. This place will never see another penny of my money. I am contacting the credit card company about this. If I wanted to pay full price I would have bought it from Garmin direct.
