As you  know, we edit types have no control over the business side of our magazine.  That said, I've passed complaints about Broadway Photo to our publisher before, and I'll send him a link to your posting, as well.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Will do -- thanks for the heads-up.

I just was ripped off from Broadway photo, if anyone reads this post I Beg you not to order from this company no matter how the price entices you. I ordered a Panasonic TZ3-A for 269.00. When they finally confirmed the order they told me that this was the import price And for $20 more I can get the American camera with the 2 hour Battery. I said ok. I live in NJ and the store is a half hour away. It took 7 more days for them to ship. I got the camera yesterday and low and behold the #1 outer box was damaged, thank god the camera was ok. I opened the box the Battery was loose and was a Jap import, the camera was not sealed in the wrapper and the Instruction manual which was European was also loose. I then called BPhoto and of course it was too late and I was instructed to call back today. So then I called Panasonic USA and after 45 minutes they said 99% sure the camera was made in the USA. So I was kind of ok with that. Then I put there after market battery in the camera and the Date was already set which leads me to believe that this is a used camera/Demo. THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH A PURCHASE ONLINE THAT I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!! STAY AWAY FROM BROADWAY PHOTO
