Broadway Photo RipOff

[jacobyja53]

I ordered a camera from these guys, then received an email that I needed to phone them to verify the order. After verifying my address, the guy on the phone tried to get me to upgrade the battery to a "four hour model because the OEM battery would only last 30 minute." This tipped me off since I was buying a STILL camera. I said "no" so he then told me that I was ordering an "international version." An American version was $120 more but had an English manual and some additional accessories.
I found this site, read these posts and promptly cancelled my order. I ordered the camera from Circuit City for a little less than Broadway's American version, didn't have to talk to anybody and got overnight shipping for less than the price of the 3 day shipping from Broadway.

To gahspidy:
Another excellent New York electronics store is J&R.
I have bought from them many times over the last 10 to 15 years and have found them knowledgeable, and honest in every way.
