READ THIS REVIEW-CAMETA CAMERA is the real deal.
Have you ever read a near perfect rating on Amazon only to be screwed by rude sales personnel and misleading product info? I hate to admit it, but I have. So, when purchasing a Canon Rebel ES I looked for more critical reviews-which brought me to ResellerRatings, and a Company in NY called CAMETA CAMERA (I eliminated my top eight "perfect" E bay finalists after reading Resellers).
I ordered my camera at 10pm on the 27th. 2 1/2 days later the camera arrived in KY in perfect condition (Cameta had promised the item 3-4 days after the date arrived).
My salesman was Glenn Haberle. He knew his products, was collaborative in the shopping process (he offered competent advice when I asked for it), and never attempted to up-sell. It was a pleasure working with Glenn and CAMETA-and I'll be using them again!
The package that I bought contained a slew of accesories. The order was filled correctly, all items were packed professionally and the contents arrived in perfect condition (4 days early).
So I paid 5-10% more than the bargain basement suppliers (first cost). I hate not paying the lowest price, and my thrifty (greedy) nature makes it hard to pass up the "best deal"-but I have been burned before and the "best deal" cost me plenty in the long run. The product was imported, used, arrived two weeks after promised (even after paying express shipping), had to be returned at my expense, and had no warranty when it stopped working in 8 months. So was this worth the $50 that I initially saved? It's been 2+ years and my blood pressure still elevates remembering the rude and cocky salesman who lied repeatedly and then insulted me. (By the way, this vendor had a 90%+ Ebay rating).
I searched for a long while before "settling" on CAMETA CAMERA. They weren't the cheapest on the market, but they were clearly the most economical of the reputable online sellers.
You've been warned!
