"I searched online for a replacement lense for my canon rebel camara. I found it on Dynasty.com for $89.00 with a free lens cleaning kit. I needed the lense right away, so I had it shipped over night. The lense was shipped the same day and I did recieve it the next day. The lens that was shipped was not the lense that I ordered, but was in fact a better lense. The lens cleaning kit was not included, but as they gave me the better lens, I was not complaining.
While I had no problems with this company, it gives me food for thought when I read all of the comments from unsatisfied people who have had dealings with this company. Because of what I have read, I will look else where for any further camera needs."
"Avoid this vendor like the plague. You will regret it if you deal with them. I suspect that Photo Dynasty, Sonic Camera and 86 Street Photo are all the same company operating under three different names. Their scam is basically to offer incredible deals and then cancel your order if you don't agree to buy incredibly expensive accessories or warranties. All three companies offered a Canon HG10 camcorder at the incredible low price of $379. 86 Street Photo kept moving out the ship date when I wouldn't order the expensive accessories, Sonic Camera cancelled the orded with the explanation of being oversold and Photo Dynasty confirmed the order but never shipped it. Pay the extra amount and get a reputable vendor. I can't believe this unethical bunch is still in business."
"I did not buy from this company. I wanted to purchase a Sony HDR-HC9 and they had the best price by far. I called them and as I was waiting for an answer, I googled the company and discovered this ResellerRatings. The rating was very low but so was the price, so I decided to ask them about it and see if I could be convinced to buy from them.
I first asked if they had the camera in stock and was assured that they did. Then I mentioned that I had googled them and saw this site with a lot of bad remarks about them and instead of getting any reassurances, the phone just went dead. I might have risked it if they could have sounded convincing but it is obvious that they know that the word is out and they are not interested in dealing with informed consumers."
"I ordered a Canon VIXIA HF10 from these crooks. From the posts here, I guess I am lucky, at least I did receive my camcorder. Over priced of course once I fell for the lies. These people are good, really good, at robbing you blind. "
"DO NOT DO BUSINNESS WITH DY- NASTY. Total Scam. Attempted bait and switch. Purchased Camera and then they CALLED me and insisted I buy accessories which I refused. One week later while trying to get status on the order was told the item was on back order and I should have gotten an email stating that. I told "Victor" (after I was put on hold for over 5 minutes) I never received an email other than the original order confirmation. He said I have sent you one. I then asked how long for the back order to ship and he told me 6-8 weeks. When I said that was unacceptable and I would cancell the order, he told me Ok it is cancelled. I checked my email immediately and discovered he (Victor) had sent me and email stating the back order AND cancellation AT THE SAME TIME, WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH HIM. Obviously, this was not Victor's first rodeo. He knew what was coming. It is apparent they never expected to ship the camera body(a Sony a200)withiout my buying the accessories. DO NO BUSINESS WITH THESE SCAMMERS> "
"A massive amount of complaints regarding PhotoDynasty.com. I COULD NOT FIND ONE GOOD COMMENT ON ANY CONSUMER WEB SITE. These reviews are not just consumer negative, they clearly fall into criminal activity. I actually had the phone in my hand dialing when I decided to check consumer satisfaction. The single owner who is listed below has his hand in everything. Here is what the BBB says:
Nature of BusinessBack To TopComplaints to the Bureau allege that Best Price Cameras engages in high pressure sales tactics and false claims in order to intimidate consumers into buying extra items while they are placing their original order. Reports allege that these extra items are usually not compatible with the camera and consumers are not given an exact total of all items at the time of purchase. As a result, consumers are charged for warranties, batteries and other camera accessories that they did not know they were buying and that were advertised on the website as being included with the camera. Consumers report that invoices from Best Price Cameras are not itemized so it is difficult to know what consumers are being charged for and it is very difficult to obtain a refund. Consumers also detail grievances with the company such as being lied to about order status, cancelled orders without notification, purchasing and never receiving a product, being charged in excess of their original purchase without their consent, and difficulty contacting the company.

"I didn't order anything, but since I could not find anything, I called them. I actually got through and asked about the camera I was interested in. Oh sure, it is all legit and on the up-and-up assured the salesman. I asked about how long it would ship out, he replied about 1 week. I asked if he had any in stock, he replied, we sure do. I asked him if this was a bait and switch company. He asked what is that? I replied, you order something and then when you don't order all the inflated upgrades, your order gets cancelled. CLICK....BUZZZZZZZ (dialtone) I guess my phoneline has a bad connection. :)"
"Stay away!!! Can I put it any more plainly. This company is a total scam. If you want to get ripped off, leave your credit card on the sidewalk. It will be a lot less painful.
What a bunch of losers. You order something, you ring to confirm and then they proceed to tell you outright lies - no battery, no charger. Listen to your gut - is what they say reasonable? When I told them to just cancel the order I was told they would have to charge a restocking fee. If you have already been duped, tell them to send your stuff and cancel your credit card immediately. They won't send your order since they won't make any money on it.
So, say it with me ... STAY AWAY FROM THIS RETAILER.
Buy from AMAZON.COM.
Oh and one more thing ... Isn't it funny how Photodynasty can get 5000+ positive reviews and Amazon often has a pidly 10 or so. Doesn't sound right does it? Again, stay away!!!
