Digital camera reviews of Canon VIXIA HF20 HD Dual Flash Memory w/32GB Internal Memory & 15x Optical Zoom - 2009 MODEL

Digital camera Review: AVOID J&R Music World, they earned this one star rating (not Canon). Here are the facts:
Summary: 1 Stars

The Facts: Ordered Canon VIXIA HF20 from Amazon seller J&R Music World on 1/16/2009 for $599 and received it on 1/18/2009. Camera was defective. (Appeared to be defective CMOS--about 50 vertical lines running through images on screen and recorded movies.) J&R authorized an exchange and received camera back on 2/2/2009. Did not hear from them, so I called to follow up a week later. a J&R rep said the camera had not been 'inspected' yet. Another week passed, did not hear from them, called to follow up and a J&R rep said the camera was defective and a replacement would be sent within 5-7 days. When I inquired on availability, another J&R rep told me that the Canon VIXIA HF20 has been discontinued! A Canon rep immediately disputed that claim, and many other merchants offer this model. It has now been one month since I paid J&R for this camera and I have not received a single communication from J&R on the status of the transaction, besides those that I initiated.

My Opinion: In the age of lightening-fast internet transactions (and lightening-fast potentially negative feedback), J&R is a horrible dealer. They clearly have no concern for the customer on the other end of their transaction and they clearly have no hesitation to bank my cash without telling me the status of my now-month-old purchase. I suspect that since I haven't seen this item advertised for this low of a price since, they may be trying to renegotiate the deal or they may be pulling the 'ol bait-and-switch. I became suspicious when my pictures of the defective images were not sufficient proof for this seller to send me a replacement immediately--why else would I go to the trouble to exchange a brand new camera?! Either way, this appears to be a shady operation, at least from this customer's experience.

Can't rate the camera yet. Obviously I got a defective unit. That could happen to any electronics manufacturer. If I ever get a second one, I'll rate the camera then.
