I sent my Canon G9 for repair at the beginning of February 2011.

I received a call on Feb 16 saying the camera was in service. On March 1st I called and was told the engineer was out until Friday. On March 8 I was told the camera would be sent out in 2-3 days and would be upgraded to priority shipping.

I have not received my camera. I haven't received any emails from the company. Certainly no tracking numbers for the return shipping.

I have raised a dispute with paypal. I seriously wonder what is going on with this company. Everyone that has sent their camera to camerasandparts.com seems to have had serious problems, and the glowing praise that comes from the one time posters is obviously camerasandparts trying to drum up business for themselves.

I would never, EVER recommend this company to someone for camera repair. You'll wait months for the camera to be repaired, if it ever is - you may not see it again.

THIS is a SCAM. I lost my camera and my money. When I didn't receive my camera in a month and a half, I contested the payment with PayPal. I got a call back from Mike and he was so "nice" and said he would expedite the repair, I just needed to go back to PayPal and have the dispute resolved. Once I did that, PayPal doesn't let you go back again. I lost the $$ and never got my camera!
