I got a package deal-- the camera, a case and the memory card with Prime shipping. If you search on Amazon, you might find this deal.

Seems like Canon ships their products in unsealed box. Camera is wrapped up in a bubble wrap, accessories are sealed in plastic. Got three Canons, all have been bought in different stores, same kind of packaging. Hope, it helps.

I urge others who have purchased this camera from Amazon to ask Amazon what is being "reviewed." Do it by posting here or by calling or emailing Amazon directly. We should have an explanation. So please do it!

I have not used the camera yet. It is still in the (shipping) box as sent. I travel next week and plan to use the camera during my (4 week) trip to the Caribbean. After that I'll be in a better position to answer your questions.

Be careful to buy the one that is not just "fulfilled" by amazon but also sold by amazon. This will always come in original authentic packaging versus the third party sellers who sell on amazon and move a lot of suspicious looking cartridges (eg packed into plastic bags, missing canon packaging, etc...).

Hi! Have you received your camera? Are you happy with the vendor? I am having the same problem finding the IS880 and was considering this retailer, but I was nervous about the unknown.Thank you!

Typically from Amazon.com yes.But the resellers who sell on Amazon typically do not.I will say, those are VERY tempting prices tho!! I've had great luck with Amazon Warehouse Deals in the past as well as their fantastic return policy. Buy with confidence through Amazon.com the Seller.Amazing camera BTW...if you are looking for a great all around camera to do everything, this is NOT the camera for you. But if you're looking for a SERIOUS artist's tool capable of (IMO) beyond-full frame detail (I own a 6D as well as a DP1M), do not hesitate to purchase a Sigma Merrill series camera. It will change how you create photographic works of art.Happy shooting!!

Mine came properly packaged, but there are probably a number of vendors selling this battery. If the vendor is Canon you should be OK.

Actually, I had pre-ordered my camera directly from Amazon (paid Amazon price, Amazon shipped it to me, etc.) about a month ago and I received my camera last week. I noticed since then that the camera is back to pre-order status, so maybe Amazon really means "out of stock"?

I ran into the same problem as I am from Alaska as well. They wouldn't ship to my PO Box so I tried entering two different home addresses and those didn't work either. I finally just had it shipped to a friend in Pennsylvania and they are going to send it to me. In October I ordered a camera and they sent it to my PO Box, so I am wondering why they won't do that anymore.

We certainly do apologize for any confusion regarding the shipping fee. As it is all of the shipping information is provided in the "shipping rates" section of the Amazon posts. If you are referring to the free 2-day shipping as offered under Amazon Prime Membership or the FREE Super Saver Shipping, that would only apply to merchandise sold and shipped by Amazon direct. As stated in the Cameta Camera Storefront on Amazon: Cameta Camera Shipping Rates All items ordered from Cameta Camera are shipped fully insured for the protection of our customers. Please note that our shipping rates are based on items of standard size and weight. Those items with heavier than average shipping weights or with oversize package dimensions, such as some 11" x 14" inkjet printers, require a shipping surcharge. The exact shipping charge will be clearly displayed before your order is finalized. All of the shipping fees are displayed at the time of checkout. The computer calculated rate is in fact correct as listed. We are very sorry for any confusion caused. Kindest regards, Customer Service Cameta Camera

I purchased this camera New directly from Amazon and received it 2 weeks ago. So far everything seems fine. But I would like to know exactly what Amazon is "reviewing" so I can feel comfortable with my purchase and not worry about some malfunction or failure popping up in the near future. I am sure many others are in the same situation and would like a further explanation from Amazon. Please Amazon, what gives?

Thanks for your good question. If you order an SCNC3706 directly, it comes from our inventory at Amazon. Amazon gets such good discounts from UPS, FedEx, and USPS that the shipping cost is insignificant, and for items over a certain price nothing is charged to the customer. (Free shipping, yay!) When you order the SCNC3606, we can only provide the free upgrade to the newer SCNC3706 by shipping it from our own warehouse, because there is no easy way to tell Amazon to provide a free upgrade to the next higher model. The difference in shipping method causes the $10.87 difference in shipping cost. In summary: it is the same new camera, and it's best to order the SCNC3706 directly to take advantage of Amazon's discounted shipping. We wish we could simply put a link in the listing for the SCNC3606 to direct customers to the new model, but Amazon listings don't work that way, so we're trying to provide the best value to our customers with the tools that Amazon provides. Does this make sense ?

Camera is available to be shipped on 8/31 on buydig. Also available for immediate shipping on ebay - many authorized sellers. But i can wait 1-2 more days for it show up on amazon... :)

Although this thread is about cameras, I found it on a gooogle search of "Amazon versus buy.com". In my experience (mainly on books) I much prefer the Amazon website because of the reviews and good interface. But buy.com tends to be a bit cheaper. Generally a dollar or so for a typical $15 book. But where buy.com is much better (and why I tend to order from them) is the shipping. If you go for Amazon's free shipping, they seem to always sit on the shipment for a week before sending it out. Buy.com, although they say free shipping will take longer, it seems my packages always get shipped within a couple of days.
