Same common complaint. Called the 'confirmation' number to confirm my internet order and was told the camera ($179.99) did not come with a battery. HDCamera World offered to sell me the five hour battery for $149.99. They then wanted to sell me the 'rapid charger' for another $49.99. An interesting sum of of money for a camera (Olympus 1030)that sells complete anywhere else for $249 to $299. To top it off, when I told them I wanted to remain with the original special offer of $179.99 plus shipping, they told me they couldn't sell me the camera without a battery. I told them to forget it and contacted my credit card company and asked to note on my file not to accept any charges from HDCamera World. The clue that this is a very questional business is when they anwered their phone by simply saying "what do you want?".
Sincerely,
Dave from Seattle
