Declining quality of digital cameras: Pt.1 Exposing the price gougers
Imagine if you turned on the radio and half the radio stations were gone, and someone was trying to sell you a radio for twice the price to recieve the missing stations? Well this is what happened to Canon photography enthusiasts. They’ve discontinued their best cameras, and many retailers are taking people for a ride by stealing their money, asking for well above list price for those cameras.
Some examples. Take a look at the Canon A650IS, the last in a line of Canon’s best and most popular cameras, with a flip and twist LCD. This was the only one to come with IS and have a 6X lens.
Stopping by Canon’s web site you’ll see it’s suggested retail (ie list) price is $349.99. Yet if you want one, you’ll have to pay almost double that, such as what Wall Street Photo wants, at $775.99.
Watch the video to see more examples and you’ll be outraged. Clearly something needs to be done, but our politicians are too busy protecting the wealthy from the law, the same laws that if we break, we get arrested.
