Horrible company. Why? I ordered a DMC-TZ5S for a seemingly great price of $169. I never got an confirmation email, so a few days later I called and talked to "Steve." He tried to upsell me everything: $60 battery, then a $150 battery for a special 1/2 price, etc. I said "No thanks, I just want the camera." Then he warned me it was grey market and the menus were in Japanese. I said "Fine, just ship me the camera."

I never got a shipping confirmation nor the camera. I called again and they said the camera wasn't in stock. I said it was in stock the day I ordered it and the day I called to ask about it. They said the order was cancelled. I asked him who cancelled it and he said they did. On top of that, they raised the price, so now if I re-order, it would be $195. That's BS!!

So just to see how badly they were lying, I waited a few days and placed an order, with extra batteries and crap I don't want. Guess what? They called the next MORNING to confirm the order!! I told them the history and said I would never do business with a bunch of slimy crooks.

I don't know how they every got so much positive feedback. Maybe they have some intern working for pizza typing up fake feedback around the clock.

Let me be clear: I will never buy from this company, and when someone asks me for a good place to buy cameras online, I will make sure I tell them to NOT BUY FROM TECHONDIGITAL EVER!!!
