Found a good deal, lower than any other site so I placed the order for a camera and got the email that everyone is writing about from Jerry saying call. I called and said NO to the battery question and he then said, they should have it the next day. I called the next day and Jerry said it was back ordered till Feb 14 (Sun.). Called Feb 15 and still back ordered so I cancelled my order. I think that if you do not order the battery that the camera you want does not exist or wont exist. PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE! (order was placed 1/9/16 online)
