Best SCAM Cameras
While standing in line for dinner Sunday evening, my friend Chris introduced me to another photographer he was visiting with. Chris said she had just bought a new 5D online for $1,500. Well, you might be lucky to buy a Canon 5D for $1,500 used, but you're not going to find one new for that price.
Okay, I give. You found one. Did you get it yet? No, well you probably never well. You see, just because a camera store has the lowest price on Google, doesn't mean you'll get it at that price. It's a scam and it's a well documented scam regardless of product. A company called Best Price Cameras is a sponsored link on Google.com. Just Google "5D" and their name will show up within the top three listings.
Best Price Cameras is also known as infinitiphoto.com and jandkcameras.com.
Their price will be lower than you've ever seen, but there's a catch. They won't ship you the camera for that price. Instead their sales staff will call to confirm your order and offer a strap, battery, lens cap, body cap, whatever at exhorbitant prices. If you decline, then your camera will be put on back order indefinetly.
You can read their reviews at Resellerratings.com where you should always review all vendors before ever purchasing something online.
While all vendors average a collective ranking of 7.06 on resellerratings.com, BestPriceCameras has a lifetime of .16 out of 10 with 189 feedbacks posted.
By the way, I didn't see their booth at Imaging USA. Did you?
