This is a good company, and I would definitely rent a lens from them again. The order arrived they day they said it would and was very well protected in the packaging. The return process was simple, with an included return shipping label. I have already referred several friends to them who asked, "where did you get that lens?"

I ordered a washing machine last week, and several days later, I received two emails saying I needed to call regarding promotions they had for me. I called twice but only got voicemail. The item arrived with no problem.

Camera Addict

1/5

These guys are shysters. I have been buying items online for years and years and this is the first bad review I've ever had to write.

I ordered a Canon SD-750 from Camera Addict because they had the lowest price. The confirmation email said "for expedited processing" to call them and confirm the order. I had never heard of such a thing before. So I called them and the rep was trying to sell me an extended battery saying that the stock battery only lasts 15 minutes. I began to think he was not being truthful about the battery, I do not believe Canon would sell a camera with a battery that only lasts 15 minutes. I declined the battery, and then he tells me that the model I've ordered is the Japanese version, that is why the battery only lasts 15 minutes, and that all the on-screen menus are in Japanese. He told me that I could order the U.S. version for $199, which is about $70 more than the one I had ordered. Give me a break. I told him that there was no mention of the Japanese version on the website, and there was only one SD-750 even listed on the website. He didn't have an answer. So I canceled the order. Strangely, the phone line went dead right when I canceled. They did cancel the order, though.

My suspicions are that they only have the U.S. version and they bait you with the $130 camera, then tell you it's the "Japanese" version to upsell you on the $199 "U.S." version, as I read another review here where they tried to do the same thing but with a "German" version. They figure that no one is going to go for the "Japanese" version, and that's how they get you to pay $199 for the "U.S." version.

I bought the same model camera somewhere else, and the battery lasts quite a while, not just 15 minutes like this guy was trying to tell me.

Shysters and liars.
