The camera has arrived...

And is very nice indeed. I'll be posting some shots I took around the house with it. However, it's been so gloomy up in these parts that outdoor photography has been impossible.

I will say this, don't do business with WaWaDigital or One Click Digital. Both are front companies out of Brooklyn that make you call them after the order to "confirm" your credit card details. They then try to upsell you overpriced items. When I ordered at WaWa and refused the items I was told the item was out of stock and the person I was speaking with hung up.

When I called One Click I'd done some research on what other places were pricing the camera for as well as the accessories. So they sold me the camera for a lower price and I agreed to get an extra battery. They overcharged me for it, but adding the prices together I still made out pretty well. I have a feeling I'm in the minority in that regard with these slimeballs.

About five days after ordering the camera I got a call from a Western Union agent in West Virginia who stated that someone was trying to run my credit card on a wire transfer. They had my name, address and the card number.

Obviously, I'm not in West Virginia and the WU agent held on the line while I called my bank and cancelled the card. In hindsight I should have asked her if the person had a Brooklyn accent. I'd be willing to bet they did.

So I'm happy with the camera and would recommend it to anyone, but would NEVER order from these people again and would advise that you don't either.
