Broadway Photo Buy the Accessories or Else You Get the Japanese Version Brooklyn New York

Broadway Photo's website advertises the Fuji Finepics F480 camera for $114 with free shipping. The day after placing the order for this camera I called to check status of the order since I never received a confirmation email. Was switched from Customer Service to an Acct. Manager when I inquired about the order. This individual confirmed the order and then proceeded to offer me every accessory available for this camera at very inflated prices. When I refused to purchase any of them he then proposed a 3 then 2 and finally 1 year extended warranty. Refused to purchase these as well.

At this point he states that I should be aware that this camera is the Japanese version with all of the menus in Japanese as well as the manual and software documentation. But if I wanted the US model I could purchase that for $149 instead of the advertised $114. When I explained that no where on their site does it indicate this and I felt this was clearly misrepresentation I heard the phone disconnect.

Lesson: If it sounds to good to be true...IT IS!
