They had the best price I could find and a fairly good rating on resellerratings.com. I chose the free 10 shipping and ordered the camera on Tuesday. It came on the following friday. The did not call and hastle me to buy more.
The packaging was great and I am enjoying the camera. Good site.

I had shopped around and found Beach Camera to have the lowest price on the digital camera I wanted (Canon G3). They shipped when they said they would and without any "bait and switch" or pressure to upgrade or add on additional items. I would definately reccomend them to friends for any future purchase.
I would like to thank Beachcamera.com for the excellent customer service I received when purchasing my new Minolta Dimage 7Hi Digital Camera
I received Way Better service at Beachcamera then I did at Gateway merchant Store I order a Minolta Dimage 7i Digital Camera and it took them 5 day just to get back with me Plus 4 e-mail and one phone call just to tell me they no longer can get that Camera.
So I came across Beachcamera.com when I was look for a New merchant Store to get that Minolta Dimage 7hi Digital Camera I got a Better one their and Better Price by far too. Very fast shipping process on Monday got it on Tuesday from NJ to Wa State
Keep up the good Work and Service Beachcamera.com
P.S Great Camera Too I will Ad your link on my web site so everyone can get great Deals too. I have been looking around to start my own Business up but it looks like it would cost me a lot of money to do that O’Well maybe someday.
Have a great Day.
Sincerely, Wally
Very satisfied. I bought an Olympus C750 and it came promptly- no hassle, or high pressure. The price was OK but shipping was free. The camera had US warranty and all accessories - well packed. I would use them again.
Some of my thoughts on Beachcamera. *sales isn't the best customer-friendly (told me to use their online form when I called 800 number to order)* hard to check my order status * delay in processing (received a call and email due to the billing & shipping info error even though those information had been correctly entered and shown on the order form.) If you think you can tolerate these minor annoying things to save some bucks, beachcamara would be your first choice. Recommened!
This is how internet shopping should be. I ordered late on Friday night and received a confirmation call on Monday. By Wednesday I had my Minolta Dimage 7HI. I even used the free shipping and it still came in 2 days from confirmation. When they called, it was strictly a confirmation call. No sales tactics involved. They were the cheapest around (about $100 less). Thanks Beach Camera!!
Smooth as a baby's butt. After ordering, I was called within 24hr for order verification, camera was delivered overnight as asked, and arrived in good packaging in tact.
I ordered a canon g3 from them. The camera arrived in perfect shape within 3-4 days of ordering, even though I ordered with the cheapest s&h. I had called them earlier with some questions about the camera and I found the customer service to be rather curt. It would be nice if they were a little more courteous. Also, they dont seem to have an automated email confirmation after ordering. I ordered online and got the confirmation after 2 days.
I was very leery about ordering from them but I placed a order for a CANON G3 over the weekend on the 5th of June. Order was promply shipped on monday and I recieved it today via FEDEX. Item just as advertised RETAIL BOXED NEW WITH US WARRANTY> THANKS A LOT BEACHCAMERA> Keep up the good service and you will be in business for a long time. YOU CAN COUNT ME AS A REPEAT CUSTOMER.
I attempted buying an Olympus C-4000 from them on monday. The order was accepted, but I recieved a call on tuesday saying they could not confirm my shipping address. I confirmed it with them, and recieved another call on thursday saying again they could not confirm it. I ordered this with 2 day shipping, and now it has been 4 days and it still hasn't left their store.
Ordered an Olympus C7070 digital camera on Sunday. Camera arrived Wednesday morning (Used normal shipping). The item was packed securely and it works fine. Price was excellent. These folks are first rate and I would definitely order from them again. (Date of review was 7/27/2005)

Excellent Experience. 800 Number for any questions, best price on the web, shipped the same day, arived on time, Well packaged with all rebate forms to be submitted. These guys are good and deserve your business.
It is what the Internet sale means to be, no confirmation phone call from the salesperson! Price of the product is not the lowest, but very close to the bottom. The whole process was very simple and fast:
Logged onto the Internet -> Found the web site of the camera store -> Selected the product -> Provided payment information -> Signed off -> Three days later, the product was delivered and signed for at my front door.
Ordered Canon Powershot A70 on 4/9, got it on 4/11. It was the full US retail version as advertised, for the lowest price I could find (I like in NY so the NY places were out due to tax).
I shipped to an alternate shipping address from my billing address. Someone called to confirm this. This person DID NOT try to sell me any high priced accessories or anything and was very nice on the phone.
Overall I was very pleased with this place and will buy from them again.
Ordered Canon Powershot G2 on Friday 3/27/03. Was told it would arrive 7-10 days. Got it on Wednesday 4/2/03. Great service, and the second lowest price on the web. Had to call customer service concerning a credit card issue, but everyone was knowledgable and friendly, and the minor problem was corrected promptly. I have to say, that after dealing briefly with another company named B----i.com, (who said they had the camera in stock, but when I didn't want any of their accessories, it was backordered for 4 weeks), BEACH CAMERA is a true bunch of professionals. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
