Now all we need is a sucker to try out this store and test their Internet rep. I've heard some nasty things, boy oh boy.

i almost ordered a canon s100 from them. I went all the way to the last page, and then the next day they said that i ordered like 3 of them. So i canceled them all. Then the guy also said i had not bought the extra battery kit. But the s100 has one. So later i email their tech support and they say that the battery comes with it. Not to mention i've heard they dont pack well so i wasn't gonna go ground shipping. Ground is $29 on a camera that probably weighs 1 pound. 2nd day air was gonna be $45 and $50 for next day. That a lot of money for shipping. they have really good prices, but i'd stay away if i could go to a big store. In the end i decided not to spend $390 on the camera (thats after shipping which is really close to a normally cheap price on the cam like at staples). I already have a 2 megapixel cam (epson photopc 800) and couldn't justify spending more cash. Be wary of this store, their website looks like crap, too and the secure server isnt the greatest . Also it doesnt show the 20% discount on the checkout page, though on the phone they said you'd get it, but considering how inconsistant they were with the battery thing, i'd watch out.
