This shop is outrageously terrible. The camera's price was fair enough, yes, but then from $499, the final bill was $1000. This is because the slipped in extra charges for the battery, and $300 FOR THE MEMORY CARD. Also, they have a no returns policy, but the sign for this policy is written in ridiculously small lettering in an obscure... More

I wish I had read the reviews here before impulsively buying a camera. I wanted to get INFO on a new Sony camera, but I couldn't remember the number. The guy, with short grey hair, showed me a SLT A-55 and said it was new, only out about 2 months. LIE! The new camera is the A-77. He then convinced... More

I was "caught" by a tall balding guy of eastern european looks, who after spotting my Nikon D60 said he had something very interesting to show me. This was a wide angle lens which attached to the existing... More

To capture the moments in Times Square I went into 47th digital with an intention to purchase a Nikon D 7000, which I knew would sell for $1400. On enquiry the sales person said the body would cost $1200 and with the lens $1250 but would not sell the Nikon D7000 as they had only one on the shelf. Instead,... More

I too got scammed thru pressure sales and false information. I only went in to get some DVD discs only to get sold a lens for my handy cam for $800 which was worth only $50. The one page website for the lenses is bogus and its impossible to even contact the manufacturers. They claim the lenses on the net... More

whatever you do do not buy here. I went in for some filters for my camera and was scammed into buying a lens. I was not wanting the lens and was about to leave when he kept going down in price. I told him to throw in the filters and he said yes. I was supposed to get a refund... More
