PowerShot G9 Price

I saw Amazon.com offers G9 $497.69. Any merchant offer cheaper than this?
click here to see the price.

It's listed at $499.99 at B&H. Saving $2.30 is no big deal when you are talking about a piece of equipment like this. I'm sure someone will post a lower price, but how much are you willing to give up in security and peace of mind, to save a few bucks?
I'm not sure what Amazon's return policy is (or anyone else for that matter) but I have never had any issues with B&H when I have had a problem.

Amazon's return policy is excellent. I do most of my online (or any) shopping there, and have never been questioned on any of my returns. They'll usually ship the replacement out even before they get back the return item. Free shipping (2nd day if you're a Prime Club member) only clinches the deal.

thanks "Killjoy" & "EORI"

So is B+H's.

Didn't say they weren't; I was chiming in to Killjoy's post wondering about Amazon's return policy. Before Amazon, I'd happily shopped at B&H for over twenty years. But they charge for shipping, and can't match Amazon's "free" 2d day shipping for Prime members. If Amazon's pricing is comparable, and it usually is, then I instinctively order my gear from them.

Nor was I dissing Amazon. Did it seem like I was?

Both are excellent e-tailers.

Tell you what. Amazon credited me back the difference when the camera went down in price. Has B&H ever done that?


I thought so. All righty then ....

Buy.com has it for $451.99 Here

Have you checked consumer reviews for this place? It's mostly either 1 or 5 stars (the 5's probably coming from store employees), and the consumer writeup for the 1's (the real reviews) would suggest it best to stay away. I'd think it's worth paying $40~50 more and being immediately satisfied, than getting jerked around and ending up with a camera with no U.S. warranty, a box with its UPC cut-out, missing batteries, straps and other pieces, etc.

I've bought quite a few products from buy.com and they have been excellent for every transaction.

As for the cheapest G9, I have one on order from ecost.com. I spoke to a rep about a week ago and he said they had 20 on order at the time and were expecting 45 on Sept 15th. Hopefully, that's accurate.

They have it listed for $445.00.

I've bought 2 things from buy.com and haven't had any problems with them. Same goes for b&h.

Coming from someone who happens to be posting for the first time, that really means a lot.

Buy.com is rated 2.4 out of 10 the last 6 months! Buyer BEWARE!

ecost.com is just as BAD!

At one time, you had a first post as well on this board too. Did it get greeted with the same consideration you just gave me? Why didn't you also jump on aawil? He has two posts and thought positive of buy.com as well.

I was posting my opinion, not spam. Not sure where the attitude is coming from about new posters on this site.. but check it at the door.

G9er, I apologize if you were not spamming. All too often, I see forums like these visited by employees of unscrupulous merchants pretending to be someone they're not. And typically, they have no prior posting history. They make their pitch, and then they disappear. What made me even more suspect about your post was the fact that it was a recommendation for two merchants who have caused considerable difficulty and agony for many fellow photogs, as the reseller rating site will attest.

If you are truly a fellow photog with shared interests, I welcome you to this forum, and look forward to your continued participation. My only advice would be to be very careful with those merchants that you referenced. Photography and electronics seem to be fields particularly ripe for scammers, and we've all been burnt at least once. I would not want a fellow photog to share that experience. It's one reason why most of us here stick with tried and true shops like B&H, Adorama, and Amazon.
