Ordered a Canon SD630 on April 1. It arrived April 4th. They called me because I had entered the wrong expiration date on the CC, I gave them the correct one and they ran it while I was on the phone and said everything was fine.  
 
They had a very good price on this camera, ordering was easy, they took care of the little problem and sent it out fast. Definitely would recommend.

Simple ordering process. Hoped to see the package in 3 days, expected 5, and it showed up in 2 !! I didn't have time to worry about tracking numbers or anything. I'm a rookie when it comes to on-line shopping but this was a very good experience. I'm very pleased with the product & price and will shop here again. I did not have a chance to interact with their customer service so I could not rate that but isn't that the point to begin with.

It was everything it was supposed to be. I was referred to you by a friend. He has purchased several items from you. He was happy and so am I. Thank You for the quick work.

I was a little apprehensive to order on-line because of all problems that I've heard could occur - scams etc. But with Cameras For Less everything was fine. I placed my order using their user-friendly website and within a few days it arrived brand new and well packaged.

Everything was great except that according to the tracking I should have had my package delivered and it did not arrive. The next day I called UPS and they said they made an error but were not apologetic about it. I don't hold that against Cameras For Less but they should re-consider who they use to ship packages.

I think Camerasforless online store is a trustworthy and efficient store. I have ordered Sony DSC-V1 in two other online shops but I was told that it was out of stock at the second day though it was shown as in stock when I ordered it. Then I turned to Camerasforless and I got it in 2 days by UPS. I am very satisfied with its service.

BUYERS BEWARE!! I would not recommend anyone buy from this store! I recently bought a Canon S45. And like many other reviews omn this site, it was sold to me as new but is actually previously owned. I called Canon and had them run the serial number to find this out. When I tried to tell this to the store manager he told me they must be wrong.  
 
So now I am trying to return the camera. What a headache! I tried multiple times to call the store for a "Return Authorization Number" over a period of ten days and repeatedly got a message that said they were "closed for holidays until October 10th." On October 12th when I called for to get a return number, I was told I couldn't return the item because it had been longer than 14 days. I told the manager that I had tried repeatedly to call but they had been closed. He said I couldn't prove this so now I am having to get a copy of my outgoing calls from my phone company and use it as evidence. All of this for what should be a simple return.  
 
As a side note: I find it interesting that none of the people that gave this store a good review have a rating. What does that mean?

I recently ordered a Panasonic PV-DV53 MiniDV camcorder, and I'm not pleased at all with the experience. Despite the item being sold as 'new', it had clearly been opened, used, and returned, and was missing the lens cap. I don't necessarily mind purchasing used/refurbished equipment, but I don't like being tricked into it, plus I paid a price premium by intentionally choosing a store selling new product. I've tried to contact the company to get a lens cap, and they have ignored me. Also, their store does not run SSL, despite displaying the Verisign logo. S&H was also extremely expensive ($23). I can't recommend this store to anyone.

I purchased an Olympus C4040 Digital Camera from Cameras for less. I got a great deal on the camera. However, I also purchased a 5 year warranty. It was listed on my invoice as an 5 year extended warranty $800.00. I received the warranty with the camera and the warranty states 5 year digital under $500 warranty. I contacted Mack, the company on the warranty because I was told by Hershel at cameras for less that the $500 and $800 warranties were the same. The sales department at Mack says they have two warranties. one for under $1000.00 and one for under 500.00. While I bought the camera new for just under $500.00 the camera actually retails for just under $800.00. I re-contacted Cameras for less and talked again with Hershel. He explained to me that this is all I need. I have doubts that I was given the correct warranty for what I was charged. I am now leary of doing additional business with this company as I did not recieve an explaination suitable enough for me. As for the camera I'm very happy with the purchase and the delivery.

After you place an order they call you and try to get you to purchase accessories and an extended warranty. If you refuse, your item is out of stock and they only sell "kits" with the warranty included for an additional $50 or so.

BUYERS BEWARE!  
 
We ordered the Panasonic PV-DV53 advertised at $282.90 on 11-17-03. We received a confirmation of this price and the order on the same day. On 11-19-03, we got an E-mail to call the company (our expense, long distance.)  
 
On 11-20-03, I called and after a number of holds, was given a salesman. When he began a pitch, I explained that our budget was strained for this gift, and that we would not be buying anything additional. At that time, he informed me that there was an error in the pricing, "Not our fault." If I wanted the camera, it would be $35.00 more.  
 
When I complained, he hung up on me. On a subsequent call, I cancelled the order, although he claimed that the order had never gone through and that we had never been charged. I hope that this is the case.  
 
Since the advertised pricing on this camera remains (and is as of this writing) $282.90 (the price they claimed was an error), I find it difficult to believe that there was an actual error.  
 
I would urge potential buyers to consider my problem before ordering.  
 

have paid Nikon lens 24-120mm USD 381.28 and never got item or money back.  
Payment was done through Paypal for lens order confirmation # 1359. Promised me several times that lens was sent, didn't never tell AWB # and finally they said lens was lost and would return money. Haver never received money back.  
 
Don't buy by this retailer. It's a big FRAUD only.  
Will go to police soon.

I placed an order for an advertised "BRAND NEW" Nikon Coolpix990 with Nikon 1 yr warranty at cameraforless.com and after 13 days, emailed to see if it was shipped. The camera got sent the next day and arrived 4 days later. The box arrived containing a Coolpix camera, but it WAS NOT NEW. There was dirt on the camera, AC adapter, USB cable, and the CDs were scratched. They included a camera case for 'free' but it has no strap, and the strap that came with the camera is ripped. The English manual is dirty and has penmarks, and the cover is ripped off. While the camera works and the price was good, the Nikon 1 yr warranty is not valid because it is not a new camera. Other (one-star) reviewers of the company have had similar experience. If you are expecting a new camera, don't be shocked when a slightly battered camera appears. They may have good prices and include extra things but the only BRAND NEW thing in our shipment were the batteries and lens cover.

I bought an Olympus c-5050z as NEW for $574.90 in June 2003.  
When it needed repair, Olympus told me that it was a REFURBISHRD camera and the REFURBISHED warantee had expired. I am now looking into what action I can take against them.
