"I ordered a Sony HDR-CX150 camcorder on a Tuesday night and received the shipment by Thursday!! I was a VERY happy camper. I ordered from them because they offered the lowest price for the camcorder (including S&H) AND they threw in a camera bag, a tabletop tri-pod, cleaning kit, and screen protectors. I would definitely order from them again."
"I would give Central Digital my highest rating. Their web site is essy to use. They sent me an e-mail right away and requested we verify the order on the phone. The person I talked to identified himself as Rupert and as a professional photographer. He gave me some wonderful advice that improved my order significantly with much of an increase in price. I am an advid photrapher and would recognize someone just blowing smoke. I will definately make Central Digital the first stop the next purchase I make of digital photographic/video equipment."
"The package arrived on June 15 (I paid the expedited shipping). The outer box (containing the HK unit) was a little beat up, and opening the inner box I was concerned this package was previously opened (maybe someone returned it and it was repackaged??). The device is setup and works. I have used this vendor before (ibuydigital) to order a camera which works well. If you are ordering from them (and I think you should) just be proactive and call after placing the order to confirm everything is OK - do this ESPECIALLY if your shipping and billing address are different to avoid delays.
Anyhow, I have my concerns about the HK box and that it looks like it was previously opened, but the product works so that is what matters!
Thanks Central Digital"
"Good Price, good service. they followed up by phone to confirm order details and to explain about other accessories that are missing from the order."
"I was pretty pleased with the order process. It wasn't too difficult to figure out and it arrived in a short while (4 days). The only thing I really hated was there was no way to track my order because I used express checkout for the convenience, if I had known I would have made an account. I like knowing what's going on. Also I never got an e-mail saying I needed to call and confirm my order, I think had I not called because I was worried the money hadn't been taken out, I would have never called, and never gotten my camera. Other than those minor things the service was overall wonderful. Also I had no issues getting through to customer service as other customers had mentioned in reviews. "
"Danielle ext 202 is the most unprofessional person I have ever spoken to her resolution to the problem was to hang up on the client and cancel the order. The up-sell is OK but turn them down and they are down rite RUDE the attitude is I am getting no more money out of this person Mr nice is out the door. My camera works fine though."
"I am extremely pleased with central digital. they were the best price online and my camera purchase came with a free accessories case. I dealt with customer service and they were extremely helpful and I was pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend this company for your digital needs!

"Received excellent service when placing an order on the phone. Sales representative Nick was informative and moved the sales process along very quickly so that from the beginning of the call to the end we were able to get the transaction completed in no time. "
"The camera I ordered was delivered as promised
and worked great.
"
"They did call me after placing my order to verify my address and see whether I wanted extra batteries or additional warrantee. They were very nice when I said "no," and they shipped me my product extremely fast.
I hope the customer service is equally nice if I have a problem with my camera!"
"This has got to be one of the biggest rip off companies selling on the internet. If you are going to purchase from Central Digital, be sure you know exactly what you want and exactly what they are going to charge. Be especially aware of their "discount" package prices. This purchase from them, was one of the biggest mistakes that I have ever made. Buyer Beware. "
"The store takes the reseller review rating very seriously.
I got a wrong product instead of the one I ordered from CentralDigital. The support staff was very helpful: he apologize for the mistake, and immediately gave me an RMA number. I sent the product back for a refund. The store gave me the full refund of my order plus the shipping cost.

"Terrible customer service. Terrible shipping. Terrible experience.
I ordered a new Epson 8500UB with next day air delivery. The projector I received was in an opened box which appeared to have water damage from at least a cup of something that looked like coffee. When I talked to their customer service they told me I could ship it back to them next day air and they would refund me the shipping charges. The charges would have been several hundred dollars. I checked back with them regarding the charges and the customer support person now said I had to ship it back ground. They have now shipped me another unit, but this time they are shipping it to me GROUND. It has been over two and a half weeks and I do not have my projector. THEY SUCK!"
"Good experience!
Honestly I was nervous that this was one of those hokey, take-your-money-and-run kind of online companies. However, I called and asked some hard questions and they answered them truthfully. Some cameras (Canon for example) are sold as grey market (and he admitted to that) but others such as Sony are strictly U.S. new products. I recommend at least asking.
I bought a Sony HDR-CX350V and it delivered quickly and exactly as promised.
I did call them, as their email requested, to expedite processing of the order. The guy tried to get me to buy an extra battery but I said no and he kind of gave me a hard time. But I told him that it was my second camera of this series and already had an extra battery. He then stopped trying to sell me on it.
I understand that they make good yield on accessories as do ALL retail companies and therefore I don't hold it against them. They do sell them for a good price.
If they or any company prolongs the order to push accessoried then walk away. One annoying conversation is acceptable though.
I would buy from them CENTRALDIGITAL.COM again. "
"I ordered by telephone and got prompt and courteous attention. There were no pressure tactics to purchase accessories. Shipment was prompt and my package arrived quickly and complete."
