All of these companies are the same:
bestpricecameras.com
Infiniti Photo
Infinity Cameras
J&K Cameras, Inc.

They all use a type of "bait and switch" tactic. They entice you with
a very low price and and then tell you that nearly everything that
normally comes with the camera is not included in this special. If you
tell them that you don't need the battery, case, software,
instructions, warranty, ect.., then they suddenly are "out of stock" of
whatever you are trying to buy.

The Better Business Bureau has many complaints against this company.

These days I enjoy calling them up now and then and asking if they are
really the crooks all these internet posts claim they are.

Doesn't this belong in the "you get what you pay for" and "if its too
good to be true..." category?

I know someone who constantly complains like this. He is convinced
stores have a 100% markup and is always looking for a "deal". Just
before the holiday he was complaining that the new surround sound system
he bought for $200 less than everyone else was selling it for didn't
come with a warranty and was some sort of refurb or grey market deal.
