I just recieved my sd300 from buydig.com and it did not have one of those clear seal stickers over the opening. Is this something I should be worried about? The camera doesn't appear to have been opened or tampered with, but the camera/accessory bags are not the sealed type so it would be hard to tell. Buydig.com had good ratings from dealtime, yahoo, and pricebrabber. I haven't fully used everything on the camera yet, but nothing seems to be wrong. I was just wondereing because I had read a post here bout the whole 15% restocking fee because "unsealed" cameras can't be sold as new and I have seen others brands of cameras with the seal.

i work in electronics retail and i can tell you that canon camera boxes are never sealed with any kind of sticker. some of the bags inside may have a clear piece of tape or it could be a zip-lock type bag. no need to worry. i have purchased both a consumer cam and a d-slr, plus three different lenses all from canon within the last 5 months and none of them are sealed.
