Camera Addict is the same company as Broadway Photo, both "recommended" when you search for cameras on Google. Google should stop that immediately!!! I'm sure there is an advertisement fee or some profit Google is making, but I wish they didn't give false confidence in these companies because as soon as you try to deal with them it is clear you are being bullied and scammed. I tried to buy the same camera (Nikon D80 Digital Camera base only advertised for $600) on both sites, both times got the e-mail calling to confirm my order, both times bullied to buy more than I ordered and then both times told me that if I wanted the "US" version I'd have to pay $200 more otherwise I'd get a camera in Japanese that I wouldn't be able to read, understand or operate. The second time I tried, with Camera Addicts, I even called the company ahead of time to ask that the camera was all in English and that there was no difference in cameras based on the $600 advertised price on-line. Of course, the salesperson was very nice but told me I couldn't order over the phone, I had to order on-line. This way, they can follow up with an e-mail requiring you to call so you can then talk to the bullying, demanding "used car salesman" who insists you buy additional equipment and if you don't your order somehow gets changed, cancelled, etc. I really wish I had researched these companies better before I gave them my credit card info because as I see now, both of these companies have terrible reviews by others who have received the same treatment as me. Don't buy from any company who sends you this follow up e-mail, who is out of NY like these companies - they are all linked!!!
