Ordered a Panasonic Lumix LX3 for the advertised price of $384. Got a phone call asking to confirm billing information. Salesman then tried to sell me accessories, claiming the camera came with a "temporary" battery and needed a proprietary memory card.
When I declined, salesman asked if I wanted the import model or the US model. I asked what the difference was - the "import" model has a manual in Chinese, has non-standard power cord and charger, different "plugs" (as if USB is not universal), etc.
When I selected the US model, the price jumped to $599, $100 above suggested retail. When I tried to cancel the order the salesman would not respond to my request, and kept offering me discounts from the overinflated price. I finally hung up on him and canceled the order via email.
Millennium Camera has one purpose - to part you from your money. They try to hook you with a low price (if it sounds like it is too good to be true - it is) then sell you a bunch of overpriced stuff you don't need. When you don't bite on the other stuff, they try to kill your original order by scaring you with misinformation.
HUGE aggravation and total waste of time. Best to this retailer like the plague. Spend a few dollars more with a reputable retailer - it is well worth the difference.
