I have been searching for a Canon G9 for awhile. Finally after hunting down what looked to be a best buy situation I placed my order. I had found the G9 for under $400.00 and supposedly new with US warranty. The web site is Broadway Photo, located in NYC. After 2 days, I get an email asking me to call and confirm my order before it gets shipped.

Okay no biggie, very first thing the guy says is…it comes with a battery that will only last about 20 minutes, do I want to upgrade? I say “NO”.
He asks, do you need any memory cards or an external flash? I reply “No”

He then says okay your camera is in stock and ready to ship, but you do realize it is imported from Japan and everything included is in Japanese. I say, but the web site said made for USA with warranty, he says no, but for another $120.00 I can upgrade to the USA model.

I said “No, just cancel my order right away” he said okay fine. I then went to my local circuit city and bought the G9 on sale and got a free Epson photo printer as well.

So tell everybody you know to steer clear of Broadway photo, they are not 100% on the up and up.

PK gets mention many times in movies and books. Too see the place, youd have to ask why.

Ever had one of those days, just could not seem to peel off all of the excess layers?
