Need4Digital.com crazycameradeals.com Bait and Switch, Internet
Bait and Switch. I ordered a Sony a55 kit with the basic 18-55mm lens from these guys because NexTag showed them as the best deal ($649.)
The next day I got an email indicating that my product might be shipped with non-factory packaging.
I was worried about this and called. The guy assured me that all the packaging was factory, but that no battery came with the camera. He offered to sell me one at extra charge. If you go to the Sony website, you will see that all their camera kits come with the rechargeable batteries. I told the guy this and he said I was dreaming.
I cancelled my order and am notifying my credit card company of the cancelled order. I do not trust these people not to try and put the order through anyway.
I recommend that nobody do business with need4digital.com.
They also operate under the alias of crazycameradeals.com.

it looks like it's always the same company if you see something like "best deal" under Nextag. Now it is "InStockDigital.com" These crooks don't show any physical address because it would make it a lot easier to identify them. When you first place your order you believe that you order a regular product in its original package. After you place your order they will reveal a bunch of details, also that they will charge you extra for tax and insurance (when placing the order it is just "free shipping")
It looks like the "reviews" on Nextag are manipulated out of 37 "reviews" there is not a single one with less than 5 stars (the maximum). After I placed my 1 star review it would not show up. None of the "reviewers" (buyers) was verified.
