Complaint Review: CCI Camera City

CCI CAMERA CITY committed fraud against me by telling me that the camera I ordered was no longer available and then selling me a supposedly replacement camera that was better for a higher price. Upon further research, I discovered that this was not true.

I originally ordered a Kodak Easy Share Z7950 camera for a total of $209.99 including shipping. I received a call the next day from a person named Larry saying that this model was discontinued and that the replacement model would be the Kodak Easy Share Z700. He informed me that it would be a much better camera with a better optical zoom. He initially said the Z700 would cost $40 more. After I declined, he then offered me the camera for only $10 more. I accepted. Since that conversation and after being insulted and treated in a very rude manner over the phone, I decided to check this model (the Z700) out on the Kodak website.

I discovered that this camera, the Z700 IS NOT the replacement model for the Z7950 and is in fact a lower performing camera. The Kodak list price for the Z700 camera is a full $250 lower than the Z7950. The optical zoom on the Z700 is 5x. The optical zoom on Z7950 is 10x. Larry not only lied to me about the camera itself, but then charged me more money in the process. THIS IS FRAUD!!!

My experience with CCI CAMERA CITY is not isolated. There is story after story all over internet sites detailing simliar experiences that have committed by CCI CAMERA CITY. An investigation should be made into their practices.
