I felt compelled to share my (almost) online purchase story with you:
Dealer: Camera Addict
Website: http://www.cameraaddict.com/

I ordered a Canon PowerShot G9 for $283 online and was emailed to contact them to complete my order.
The rep tried to sell me a battery & charger all of which were WAY OVER PRICED and should have been included, but not from this dealer. I declined stating I would use my accessories from my G7 knowing I could get them at a more reasonable price locally. The rep then proceeded to tell me this camera was a Japanese version and the display was in Japanese and would this be an issue? NO WHERE WAS THIS STATED IN THE AD. He then proceeded to tell me the American version was $175 more @ $459. I told him to put the order on hold. I then called the store acting like a new customer and spoke to sales; the rep told me there were 2 versions the Japanese version and the US version. The US version was $116 more at $399 ok you got me. I called the original number back and told him the sales rep I would take it for what the sales rep quoted me $399 he said no it was $459. I canceled the order and will be contacting the state of NY regarding “bait and switch” as well as Canon, BBB and any other Consumer Protection.
