Not to use this forum as gripe, but my father in law just purchased two Canon SD1000 cameras that were touted as being upgraded with "long life" batteries and a "one year warranty" and "extra memory".

The $199 camera ended up costing $300 after the $29 shipping, the battery was the stock Canon battery, the carrying case was a bottom of the barrel China Special, and the memory was the old slow 1gig.

When he called to tell them they were getting the whole kit & caboodle back they told him they have a $60 restock fee. That was the last sentence they were able to get out..

Shysters.

WalMart.com sells these for $195
