Infiniti Photo had a good price on the pentax optio wpi so I bought it. The next day (today) they called and wanted to talk to me about the order. They were actually going to try to sell me a camera with lesser battery, warranty and charger in an attempt to get me to buy those upgrades from them instead of the manufacturer. I finally hung up in their face when they became argumentative. It is a pressure tactic because you have to buy those items over the phone or your order is cancelled. At one point he told me I was getting the manufacturer's warranty before I questioned him further only to find that was not true.
The things he was selling at that price were:
1. battery- life is 20 minutes
2. warranty- 90 day
3. charger- not sure
That’s how many of them are Every time I found a good price on equipment I’d Google that store and found many horror stories. I stick with a very good source for camera/video: B&H photo http://www.bhphotovideo.com/
Just put any shops name in a search engine and read what people have to say about them. Most of the shops that I have seen with really good prices are bad.

I use resellerratings.com Resellerratings.com is a good resource for checking on unfamiliar vendors. Infinitiphot has some of the worst ratings I’ve seen. I use BHPhoto, good prices, excellent service.
