5/5

posted May-16-2003

I purchased a Olympus Camedia D-40 digicam at an auction in ebay. Their ratings on ebay seemed good enough so I bought with confidence. I wanted to have checked this site, but the name they used was not Choice One digital, but Imagecam - only on my winning bid e-mail did they saythey were Choice One Digital. Well, I paid and then I came to check thei ratings here - I freaked out!! I was so afraid I would be in trouble!!
Well, I was not. I bought the digicam on Wednesday 1am, and they e-mailde me the UPS tracking # Wednesday evening!! Igot the packafe Thursday afternoon and so far, everything about the camera and accessories seem to be working perfectly.
Was I just lucky? Maybe, maybe not. It seemes A LOT of people are very satisfied with them. It is interesting though so many people post horror stories about them here. Maybe when you are satisfied you don't bother to do more than leave positivefeedback on e-bay... I don't know.
Just beware that they way over value the extra accessories! The package they claim to cost $247, can be bought in Circuit City for $79 - and the camera case in Circuit city is an Olympus original. What they sent was a generic brand one, but it was nice anyways... just not worth as much as they said. AND - the USB cable they announce as an extra in the package, comes in fact with the camera already!!
My experience was very satisfactory thus far.
