"Best price online for this item at the time of purchase. Item arrived on time and as advertised, and included a bonus pack of free camera-oriented goodies to boot. I would purchase at this reseller again."
"Ordered a camera for $135 ($60 less than I found anywhere else, and they even threw in a Vivitar Starter Kit) two days ago, and it was delivered this morning. They said it was new, and it appears so, original box and all. I am very pleased with this first experience with this company and will order from them again."
"Pros: good price, fast delivery for those in NY
Cons: very bad customer service (rude sometimes, waiting time when you call is long)
I was doing my research on internet. Was very worry about Central Digital due to the number of bad reviews but tempted by the good price, I decided to place my order anyway.
I ordered on 21 Aug 2010 (Sat). On 23 Aug 2010, I called the customer service to vary my order (I wanted to change the lens kit). Have to say that they do not really have many agents. I had to wait for about 10 mins. Nonetheless, my order was amended. I received confirmation on the same day. Finally received my camera on 24 Aug 2010.
No problem with the camera kit so far.
Well, if you are not in a rush, this is a good place to save money. however, try to get it done at the first time since it is very troublesome when you need to deal with their customer service.

"such a horrible company to deal with. I was told by the customer service rep that he was in charge, and when i asked to speak to his supervisor he said he was his supervisor... and so forth. The reason I needed to speak to someone in charge was because I placed my order on saturday, on monday I called and they said it had been shipped and they would send the confirmation number that day. On friday they called to ask me if i would upgrade to a more expensive lens because the one i wanted was backordered for 7-10 days. I was shocked because they said they had already shipped it!!!! I canceled my order and will never buy from them again."
"Hi I ordered a Sony DSC H55 on 12th Aug 2010(Thursday)afternoon through CentralDigital.com site.On 13th evening I got a confirmation in my email.I would recommend anyone to register in their site to check order status.On 15th When I checked the order status myself through my registered login, it said item sent to warehouse to be shipped.on 15th evening it said item is shipped and on 16th morning I got a tracking number for UPS.registered in UPS site also and kept tracking the package till it was delivered on 18th afternoon.So as far as the timing goes I would say it is satisfactory as I'm in Atlanta and whole thing happened well within a week.
Got the free CAMERA POUCH and free FLEXIBLE SPRING mini(very mini but usefull) tripod as promised in their site.nevertheless, this site offered the least price for this product and there was no tax or shipping charges for the option I chose.Checked the camera for 2 days and ensured no physical damage was there and tried it for 2 days and well, I'm convinced that I have got a good piece which works perfectly fine as expected.
Overall Great shopping with CentralDigital! for me it was the least price, the free useful stuff, having met the expected delivery time comfortably and most importantly a very good piece without defects i'll rate the experience with 5 stars!"
"Great service. I ordered Aug 16 and received Aug 18! Everything was packaged as advertised. I ordered a digital camera - it's in great shape, it's what I ordered, and the free tripod kit and camera case were included. Would definitely order from Central Digital again and would recommend to others."
"Was skeptical of ordering from them based on some of the negative reviews I read. However, the price was great, so I decided to take a chance. Called first to check that the item, a Denon AVR 1911 receiver was in stock. Was told that it was and the person I talked to confirmed that they were not an authorized dealer and that there was no factory warranty but it came with a one year warranty from them, and I'd have to send it in for repairs if needed. Very upfront about everything. Went ahead and ordered it on line on Sunday the 15th, and opted for 2-3 day shipping. Called the next day to confirm the order was placed correctly, and the item was in stock, again was told that it was, and that it would ship that day. Later on the 16th got an order confirmation, with a UPS tracking number, which indicated delivery on the 18th. Got it on the 18th as indicated. Maybe I just got lucky, but my experience with them was great. "
"Good Seller, I got the camera as per the posting."
"Everything went as stated for my order, ordered online Aug. 10th, Shipped Aug. 12th (2 Days) and arrived in perfect condition Aug. 17th (7 Days). Will certainly check this company first for any future needs."
"Last Friday I saw that the Nikon TC-20E III teleconverter was in stock on their website. Just to confirm, I called in to verify it was in stock.
Today I call in to check on my order, and they tell me the TC-20E III is backordered.
This is not a reputable company, and they will lie to you! I canceled my order."
"So my transaction was almost completely positive. i bought an entry level dslr camera (cannon rebel T1i).
The good: they made sure i got set up with everything i needed and hooked me up with some other goods for free. Also, my memory card malfunctioned and they're standing behind their warranty and replacing it for free.
The bad: the guy kind of suckered me into buying more than i really needed--for example, when quoting the quantity of pictures a card would hold, he was using the highest quality+raw encoding--in other words, huge, huge files. as a non-professional photographer, i have no need for raw encoding, but still got the 16 gig card cause i thought it would only hold 700 ish photos. But, with just the highest quality jpeg photos (no raw encoding) it holds more like 2500 photos. Gamesmanship, and i understand i should have been better educated, but was still a tad peeved by this.
In all though, i would definitely recommend this dealer."
"Central Digital had the best price on the 7D that included the US warranty. I was a little skeptical, but decided to give it a try after seeing some positive feedback here.
I placed my order on a Sunday.
Was contacted the next day to confirm.
The representative also suggested some accessories.
After declining them all the product was still in stock and was set to be shipped.
I received the tracking info 2 days later, and the product arrived in perfect condition with all the free extras on the scheduled date.
I will do business with central digital again!
The only thing of note was that the camera body arrived in a 7D kit box, I am sure they are going to sell the lens that came in the kit as a separate white box item to recover some of their cost, but that doesn't bother me at all. Especially since the purchaser of the lens will probably get a great deal as well!"
"Ordered 2 recivers for CD , the free shipping was prompt and they had the lowest price on the net. Will buy from CD again."
"Shipped out late because of warehouse re-location, and although I was pretty upset, they called me and made up for as much as they could. Will do business with them again."
"I originally wrote a bad review because of how long it took me to receive my order.
Which was my only problem with CentralDigital.com...Considering I got my order in good shape, at a low price.
I recently got a call from a customer service rep, after seeing my review...He explained to me why my order took longer than expected. It was because of a warehouse expansion I believe. Which checks out, because I do recall another rep telling me something similar.
He apologized on behalf of Central Digital, and offered to send me a 4gig Memory Card for my camera free of charge which I definitely could use.

I definitely recommend you use their companies!
I got my camera in perfect condition, for the CHEAPEST price possible!!!! Not to mention with a great carrying case!
