Never in my life I could imagine to be fooled like this. I was stupid, of course, but this shop should be closed and the people working in it arrested. I wanted to return the lens but of course in the receipt it was specifi... read more

Of course the deal did not go through and the salesmen in the store went crazy on me.

I just visited this store an hour back.. I asked them for a baby-cam. The guy was a smooth talking german ..started chatting with me.. then showed me a digicam.. claimed it cud be used as a babycam! i asked for ipod docks.. showed me one with a marked price of $79.99... when I started walking out of the store, he said "10 dollars!" .. i knew it had to be a scam of some kind.. weird how they operate such a big store this way!

Was shown a camera with a price on the box of $1799, after some haggling I was offered the camera for $810... not checked reviews on the camera as had just arrived from the UK and needed something for my holiday and was going to use it when I got back to England to photograph my daughter. Just checked price on internet with other shops.. $199!! Don't go here.. you will be ripped off beyond belief. It also turns out now that the camera is a fake, not what it is claimed to be!!!
