(Edited July 17th by twludden) Tried to purchase Canon Elura 2mc. Was told a price on internet, by phone, and confirmed by email. Later was told they wouldn't sell it to me. The sales manager was very rude. Wouldn't buy from them even if it was the best price. |

their site said they had the Canon G-1 in stock. first question they asked on the phone is how much was the camera advertised for. then they said they didn't have any. |

Buyers beware! Low prices to get your order then they try to sell you filter kits or other accessories you don't want. Grey Market cameras without factory warr. |

Bait and switch. Tried to purchase a Nikon Coolpix 995. They tried to sell me an import model with no warranty from Japan. Plus then they said I needed a battery, since it didn't come with one (of course it does). Overall, a very shady deal - I cancelled my order and went elsewhere. |

(Edited July 17th by retentive) Don't buy from Broadway Photo! Have you ever seen the movie Boiler Room? Thats a great example of the pushy swindlers at Broadway Photo. I was overcharged $300. They won't credit my account and now they want me to pay a restocking fee ($70) to send it back. |

These guys are the rudest bunch of unprofessionals I have ever encountered on the net. I don't know how they can even have a star and a half. No heroes here just zeros, that's how I rate them. Unfortunately 1 star is the lowest! |

I ordered a sony camcorder PC-110. After 1 week and no delivery I sent E-mail. A seller called home and tried to sell accessories and extra $$ charge for 'rush' delivery. Then, he said I need to buy an AC adaptor because the product used European electric type plugin. I cancelled the order and noticed later they don't have it in stock. They clearly lied. I'll never buy from them. |

It's no surprise that Broadway Photo already has a bad rating . . . This company will try to scam you and rip you off any way they can! I recently attempted to purchase a Sony DCR TRV-900 with them with Fed Ex 2-day. I called them 4 days later and they told me it would be another 2-3 weeks before they got the camera. Then they told me that the specs. didn't include a battery and other accessories, which is a total lie--it states it on the website. I cancelled immediately. |

This company gives used car salesmen a bad name. They will outright lie to you. (Examples: The included battery lasts 1/2 hour. We'll ship that three-day air.) That's just the tip of the iceberg that sank the Titanic. These people are amoral and need to be avoided at all costs. Believe me, you will find a better price somewhere else and you'll be happier in the end. Don't buy anything from Broadway Photo. |

I tried to buy a Sony MVC-CD300 digital camera from them. 24 hours after I ordered, I got an email from them to call them. They then tried to sell me an additional battery charger when I know full well one comes with the camera! Never buy from them, or you'll be sorry! |

Unrealistic from IL Member Since: 07/11/2001 View Member's: Reviews |
Just like TommyBoy's review--I called and was ready to purchase when I was asked, "Do you need a battery and charger with that?". My response "No, it comes with it." "No, it doesn't", etc. The whole event turned into a battle between junior high schoolers, but if you've even went to a store to look, this comes with everything you need; their statement is that what you see in stores and other places are a "Kit", and that's complete and total crap. They misrepresent themselves. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! |

I actually read these reviews two weeks ago and I thought maybe these were just few incidents that happened...boy was I wrong! I placed an on-line order for a VX2000 and the e-mail confirmation said that the order will be processed in 24 hours. Waited 5 days and called, the guy tried selling me $500 warranty, chargers, batteries, and the list goes on and on. I cancelled my order! I don't know how these guys stay in business but I would NOT recommend buying from them. Don't waste your time! |

Placed an ordered for Sony TRV900. They called me a few days later trying to sell me overpriced accessories. When I told them I have all the accessories that I need for the camcorder, they went on trying to sell a $500 warranty. When I refused the extras, they told me the camcorder was on backorder and proceeded to cancel my order without my knowledge. STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS!!!!!!!!! |

Boy did I get the ol screw put to me. First I ordered a Canon GL1 from these guys, and they said that it was in stock. Three days later I called to see how the order was doing, and I was then told that there was a back order. If I wanted to buy a $600.00 warranty, they could send the camera sooner. Then I was told that the camera was not a camera built for the USA. No warranty, no accessories, nothing. I wouldn't buy toilet paper from these guys! I got the camera from Beach Camera instead. |

the prices on their site are just for grey market products. i.e. no warranty, no accessories, etc... they lost my first order. when i called to inqure, they had no records of it in their system. i was told the "deal" i got came with two day delivery...it took over a week to arrive. broadway refused to compensate. |

Ordered Sony DCRPC9 on 8-13 was told it ship in 2 days, called 8-20 to find out where camera was and was told they needed to confirm order first, subjected to high pressure sales for a warranty & acc. said no and was told camera had "NO" warranty. CANCELLED ORDER - STAY AWAY..BAD..BAD Order from a reputable firm, you may pay a little more but you will be happier |

They must take customers for idiots. I was in the market for a Sony Camera that they had listed for $679. After placing the order with BP (credit card $, address, etc.), they then informed me that it was an overseas model witout a US warranty, instructions in English, or accessories. Do they actually think that anyone would want such a product? |

I wish I'd known about Pricegrabber and these reviews BEFORE dealing with Turboprice, AllStar and Broadway Photo. I got the same scam at all three vendors -- high pressure to buy warranty and accessories, and camera suddenly becomes backordered and unavailable when I declined everything else. I won't call these folks again. |

If you need a realy bad day, go ahead and order a camera form these people. The prices are for overseas cameras with no guarentee. There is no other way to put it except this place sucks. I don't really know how they stay in business. |
