You all know the saying: "If it's too good to be true..." The prices are cheaper than anywhere else. This site is a total fraud! My experience was the same as everyone else. In exact sequence. First placed order (felt good about the bargain price for Nikon Coolpix P90), then got email to call Chris to confirm order, called Chris, Chris tried to hard sell overpriced batteries, memory cards, extended warranty, etc, politely declined all, told the order will be processed, check status on their website, BACKORDER, finally had to cancel order. Realizing Camera Giants is deceptive, I had to call my credit card to alert and make sure they don't charge my for the cancelled order. Total Waste of TIME!!! If you don't want to go through this (I guarantee you will if you buy from them), don't bother with Camera Giants. They don't intend to sell the items to you at the advertised price (Bait and Switch technique used by untrustworthy seller), they only sell to you IF you also buy the outrageously overpriced accessories. Come on! Anyone in his right mind would decline a $400 batteries and or $200 memory cards. It's no coincidence that everyone here was saying the same thing. This is how they do business. Scam people. The first sign to run is when you got an email to call Chris, John, Mike, etc. (probably the same person) to "confirm" your order. Anybody who ever ordered online before knows you don't talk to a salesperson after you placed the order. That's why you buy it online. Normally, you just get 2 emails from seller, one for the order confirmed, and another email for order is shipped. BTW, after I cancelled my order with Camera Giants, I bought the same camera from Bestbuy.com and pick up at the store on the same day at $40 more expensive. But that was the $40 I gladly spent for my peace of mind after dealing with Camera Giants. Don't be fooled by low prices and attractive website!
