Scam. Price gouging. Deceptive sales techniques.

Steer clear of this place. Even in desperation, go to Staples a couple of blocks over. This is why some very poor examples of small business owners make it tough for legitimate owners trying to fairly sell their goods. This guy knew he was offering up a scam, an average product, and a long explanation justifying that he was simply taking advantage of customers. I was walking around Boston yesterday on a absolutely beautiful day and realized I had forgotten my data card from my camera. I remembered the Camera Center from a couple of years ago when I encountered 2 nice gentlemen that sold me a strap. So, I walked to Faneuil Hall and went into the store. The nice gentlemen were not there, instead I was helped by this stereotypical salesman/scamster --the type you would expect to be in a touristy area. I was desperate to snap some images of the gorgeous day in Boston so I waited through his scam speech about how an inferior off-brand data card (4gb) was somehow worth $79.95 when I know for a fact (being an experienced photographer) that it is worth no more than $20.00 and that it is in no manner "the best data card out there". This guy was marking this product (an probably more items in the store) up to a point that is price gouging, while presenting it in a deceptive manner.

Biggest rip-off of any store aroiund. Sold me an " excellent" battery for my coolpix at $ 40.
This battery costs less than $ 10 anywhere else, but ripping off tourists seem to be OK here.
The battery will not even recharge at all. So I paid $ 40 for a three day usage.
Do not go there !

I had a great experience with Sam! I am very new to photography and was having problems with my new DSLR. He took the time to look at it and give me great suggestions! I was so appreciative of his knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend his shop.

We visited this shop to have a Canon Rebel looked at that was overexposing shots. Sam, the owner, thoroughly analyzed the camera, and identified the stock lens as faulty. He spent a lot of time...
