Dax Mart or Digital Outlets Scam - Bait and Switch Internet
I read a couple of negatve reviews about Dax Mart and their possible scams but the price of a Nikon AF Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6 EDVR (See more at: http://www.daxmart.com/Nikon-AF-S-NIKKOR-55-300mm-f-4-5-5-6G-ED-VR-Zoom-Lens/p-1418) was too good to pass up. Just like other reviewers stated, once you place the order, they call you to verify it. When I called them back, they told me that the lens I ordered is for film and not an SLR camera. Their description and picture did not represent a film lens but exact Nikon lens I was searching for my SLR digital camera. (see link and product decription)
Long story short:
The online ads show the exact product for a substantial savings over other online lens deals (anywhere from $50 to $100). That should have been a red flag, but just like many others, the offer was too tempting to pass up. I ordered it and received confirmation. The strange part is that the confirmation did not actually list the item or price - hmmm.
The next day I received a notice that the order needed to be confirmed. I called back and just like all the other reviews, the lens I ordered was for a FILM not DIGITAL camera. Of course, they could upgrade it at a minimal cost. Needless to say, I canceled the order.
Although they sent me an email of the cancellation, I will keep my eye out that they infact will not charge my card.
With further investigation it seems like they headquartered in the UK and have other online stores such as Digital Outlets. Buyer Beware...."If it's too good to be true, it probably is"
Here is their description:
The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Zoom Lens is a compact 5.5x zoom lens for DX-format D-SLR cameras. Its equivalent focal length in FX-format is 82.5-450mm. This lens is an excellent choice for travel, landscapes, portraits, and distant subjects. The lens focuses to 4.6' at every focal length - this versatility ensures stunning close-up shots of subjects near and far.
The VR II image stabilization allows you to handhold the your camera at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and stable video capture. Other features include the silent wave motor for quiet accurate autofocusing, and a rounded 9-blade diaphragm that offers stunning out-of-focus highlights (bokeh). The lens elements have been treated with Nikon's Super Integrated Coating - an optical lens coating process that maximizes light transmission while enhancing clarity and contrast. All of these world-class features add up to the AF-S 55-300 being an ideal lens for traveling or shooting close to home.
