Again, I don't know what you are used to. At Best Buy, they have a lot of cameras on open shelves with security cables.
often without batteries (or dead ones) and possibly without a lens. it's a crapshoot there.
Your Best Buy may be differently managed. I don't project what the Best Buy is like in my area to all areas. You are free to, though.
I think, based on a comment by you some time ago, I did check a Best Buy and found one of 24 that wouldn't turn on and reported that information here. I wouldn't call that "often".
If I was in the market for a new camera, especially a point & shoot, I would go to Best Buy first. Not to buy, but to handle each model. Some cameras just don't feel right in my hand or have controls that are difficult to navigate.
I would rather do this at Best Buy than at a camera store. First, I can pick up any camera without having the sales person bring it out. Second, I don't take up the time of a salesman who I don't intend to buy from.
