Like everyone else it seems, I was attracted to Genius Cameras due to their low prices. I placed an order over the phone for a Nikon D80 camera and a Nikon 18-200 nikkor VRII Lens. Other than a little hard sell by the person whom I spoke with who's mission in life at one juncture was to change my mind from the Nikon lens I asked for to another inferior brand, the transaction went well. I had to wade through a barrage of high pressure coaxing for accessory upgrades or additions I did not need nor want, but after I told the salees person, "you are quickly convincing me to cancel this sale by waisting my time", he relented and we completed the sale for exactly what I wanted originally. Less than a week later I received the package and everything I requested was delivered exactly as specified. I know these guys have a terrible past track record as evidences by most of the other writeups here, but I can sincerely say that other than the aggressive arm twisting I experinced, they did deliver for me. Suggestion: When dealing with these guys, do your homework before hand and know EXACTLY what you want and shut them down when they start their high pressure bait and switch song and dance routine.

Placed order for Nikon D200 package with 3 day shipping and told IN-STOCK. They tried to talk me into several overpriced additions to the order. I did not go for the extras. Called back to check as not delivered. I was told the item was BACKORDERED 8 to 10 weeks or more and the price was not guaranteed.
