When you get the statement with the line item, or any restocking fees, write the credit card issuer and report the transaction as "unauthorized." The card issuer will have no choice but to remove the charges. A misrepresentation about a product is fraudulent, and a fraudulent charge is legally "unauthorized." And, under federal law, a card issure "must" remove any "unauthorized" charge from your account.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/who-has-heard-of-sonic-cameras-and-can-they-be-trusted#post-37073 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 05:59:50 +0000 DannysStudio 37073@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If you sense a risk or doubt about the website, there probably is one.

Non US products may be considerably less expensive. The product packaging may or may not include all software, accessories, and features intended for US customers. Please allow three to four weeks for delivery on some international products. USA warranty may be additional. Images and specifications are for illustrative purposes only."</p> <p>that's kind of a blanket statement -- I can see how this could be used to get out of having to provide what is "normally" supposed to be included.</p> <p>So, with that in mind, I've sent off an e-mail asking about this camera in particular and what I'd ultimately have to pay to have this "working on the day I get it into my hands"  -- it will be interesting to see their response...</p> <p>Tom</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/who-has-heard-of-sonic-cameras-and-can-they-be-trusted#post-35714 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:49:03 +0000 Johnboy 35714@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>i'll second Videofreak's post.  Most of these low price outlets attempt to sell you a camera, and then offer 'extras' such as batteries, warranties, chargers; often these are things that should already be packaged with the camera and often you won't get your camera without a lot of hassles.  I've only used B&amp;H for my equipment and have never had any issues.  Very dependable.</p> <p> John</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/who-has-heard-of-sonic-cameras-and-can-they-be-trusted#post-35680 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:48:55 +0000 Videofreak 35680@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> If it sounds to good to be true, then it is!
