"This a SCAM!!!! They are also tied in with 'Genius Cameras' and at least 5 more.
BEWARE. They give you same crap, IE:
*send you an email asking you to call & confirm order
*Then pressure you to buy overprices accessories
*Then, oh your are just buying the camera it doesn't come with a battery or just a 15 min. batter.
*Or this is the overseas model and will take 4 to 8 weeks to deliver
*BUT we happen to have the US version for a much higher price
*And, sorry we are out of stock and will cancel your order.
I have sent in a written complaint on the Attorney Generals web site. They change there address so you have to do both New York and New Jersey. All the info is on the web site. I also recorded the conversations. I have nothing but time and am calling both Att. Generals office at least twice a week until they do something. Here is the web sites for the Att. Generals in both states,http://www.oag.state.ny.us/ (New York)
http://www.state.nj.us/lps/ (New Jersey)"

"This company is a complete scam. I ordered a Sony Dsc-T1 @ a great price of $249 (about 30-40 cheaper than everyone else)

Not surprisingly, the first couple of (7) days I called to get the tracking information, they said I would have it emailed to me.
Of course this email never came, so when I noticed they had charged my credit card without any form of shipping receipt, I called back to cancel.

Following a 35 minute hold, a man answered brought up my account and said that it had been "processed".
I said that I wanted it canceled if they could not produce a tracking number, he said that will take 24-48 hours to get from the shipper. I informed him that I had been waiting for 7 days to get this info from the shipper and that I wanted it canceled.
He promtly told me "Read our policy, I'm not canceling the order, go F*ck off"

Thats what you can expect when you order with these losers. www.notalenta$$clowns.com"

"I have to agree with every negative comment I have read here. I made a web order for a Fuji E550 camera at the unheard of price of $199.00 I knew I would probley have to nix some extra stuff. I got an order confirmation email in a few minutes. I called back the next day after not getting a copy of the order only that they received it. I was told that I would be getting an email in a day or 2 telling me that the order was canceled because they sold out. I asked when and was told 10am. I ordered around noon. I sent customer service an email and the next day I got an email from them apologizing and telling me to call Bxx Gxxxxxx at their number . I did but got an answering machine. I called a few hours later and again got the machine. The next day he called me and said that the camera was in stock and wanted to know who told me they were out, that was totally wrong. I told him I expected to be called about purchasing add on's but wasn't interested in any he started to question me about my camera and old cameras, I again told him I wasn't interested in add on's. He said on and hung up. I again got a thank you for the order email, but no order confirmation copy. I checked the web page and found a copy of the existing order and also found that it was canceled. I sent cust. service another email asking what was going on and to this day have heard nothing, although my order still appears."

"You had to call to complete your order in which all they did was try to sell you more items. To get the item I saw on line would take 6 weeks. But they said if I bought an accessory package they would ship it them. I asked if could send the accessories back if I did not want them and they said no problem. But when I tried to return them. They said I had to return all of it and they where going to charge me 15%. Even if I purchased the item I originally wanted. They were misrepresented them selves on the phone to get a sale. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. And no invoice was provided."

"I ordered a Minolta Dimage A200 which had a very competitive price. But my order status kept saying "Not processed", and they didn't reply to emails or answer the phone. Then I read the poor reviews on resellerratings.com and decided to cancel my visa card. The store is obviously run by the same crooks as cameraunlimited.com, because I could log in to both sites and see the same order..."

" SCAM! STAY AWAY! MANY BROOKLYN AND NEW JERSEY STORES PLAY THIS SAME SCAM-DO YOUR HOMEWORK. They list low priced electronics, then they strip away batteries, chargers and other accessories. After a couple of days you an email telling you that you have to call them to complete the order (they don�t email an order confirmation after you order online). After you call them (and wait on hold) they ask you "Oh, did you want a battery?" You say, "Doesn't it come with a battery?" They say, "No, you need to order accessories separately." The prices for their accessories are 2-3 times more expensive then they are worth, so if you order from them, your total price is greater than buying it somewhere else. It is safer to go to a large, reputable store and pay more. SINCE THEY ARE NOT AN AUTHORIZED VENDOR, ANY REBATES YOU SEND FROM PRODUCTS BOUGHT FROM THEM WILL NOT BE HONORED."

"I bought a Sony cybershot DSC-W1 for $229, which is a very good price, plus $20 shipping. The next day, I get a call from the site, and the guy tries very very hard to sell me accessories at a ridiculously high price. I declined all accessories, and the guy says my order is an 'international order' and will ship in 6-8 MONTHS....can you believe this... MONTHS....I say are u crazy... and the guy goes ahead and automatically CANCELLED my order.... I called customer service, and they say they don't carry the camera anymore... very rudely that is.... although its still available on their website......This is full time fraud....Stay away from this miserable site.... Stay away....."

"I know I'm just another in the stack of bad reviews, but I'll say it again...DO NOT BUY FROM THESE GUYS!!! I too received the shipping from Japan excuse, but only after I called 4 times over a month's time, then twice in a row one day and told them their stories didn't match. It took 1 month after the expected ship date to figure out that I was never going to receive my camera. The rating company on their site has got to be a a load of BS because on the site it says they have 3 stars, and I read some of the reviews...guess what? no bad ones. =) Funny, saying as though they can't even get one star on this site. The prices look appealling and tease you into trying their services, but it's worth it to pay more and not have to listen to hold music for 3 wasted hours (at least) of your life. "

"1)The camera I had no indication that it was international, not USA.
2)Their customer service harassed me until I agreed to buy extra products which they lied and said I couldn't find a better deal. The memory card they sold me was twice as high as several other places I looked.
3)They are lying about the warranty. They state that you only have a 90 day warranty, the warranty is for a full year.
4) I tried to call back and cancel the order 15 minutes after the order was placed. I was told I would have a 15% restock fee. I told them about how I was misled, they didn't care. They kept saying they only made XX amount on the deal and that I will not find a better deal. This is a lie, I found 3 different places that have better pricing. So, now I have to wait 4-5 days to get the order, turn around and request a return number, send the package back and wait 2-3 weeks for them to credit my card. I was orignally told that they would still charge me 15%, however, when I read their policy to them, they seemed to back off of this. I will bet anything they still try to add this charge."

"This place is a scam.

They list items for low prices. Don't process your order. Then, try to sell you more after you call to find out what is up. Furthermore, the items listed don't come with the accessories. For example, the camera I tried to order didn't come with any batteries or memory. Conveniently left off."
