Same story as the other people.

Wanted to buy the Sony DSC-F717. Called and it was in stock. Ordered through the web and it said it was in stock. Check the status of the order 2 days later and said that it was pending. Person on the phone wanted to sell me a "package" for a couple lenses for $500 where I saw the lenses in another website for $200. Person said it was OK if I didn't want the package and that it was going to be shipped the same day. Wife called 1/2 hour later and it was back ordered for 4-5 weeks. Wife talked to manager and manager said that they publish the lower price so people order it. When they call they try to sell them these packages. If people don't buy the packages the item gets back-ordered. We cancelled the order.

We surfed a little more and found B&H Photo. Their rating on this website is very good.

Glad this type of website is here so we can avoid scams and/or companies like "Directsource". I bookmarked this website so I can check the companies before buying.

Hopefully we can clean the web from companies like this one or force them to clean their act.
