Camerasky

I am wondering if any AP Members had purchased cameras or lenses from an on-line retailer trading as "Camerasky"?

No, but I was curious, and this is what I found in the first few listings from Google...

And I removed an AP advertiser related to this mob, last year: http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?148993

My research suggest while they deliver for some, just stay away from them.

Camerasky are part f this group of companies,

Hopefully that's a fraction more revealing.
There are many easily researched forums that show why NSW Fair Trading have said what they said.:th3:

I bought a Nikon D300 body from them in 2009. I used it constantly for a few years then gave it to my brother who is still using it. It's been faultless. S far the shot count is over 70000.
Ive got no complaints. I might be just one of the lucky ones though.
im more inclined to buy local these days. I like the idea of having someone to shout at if all goes wrong.

Thanks for this.:D

I can confirm to members to keep far away from "Camerasky" as an on-line retailer.......they are dreadful!

I did and cancelled my order and asked for a refund after 2 months, they still have my money, just never do business with "Camerasky"!!!!
