Seems like Canon ships their products in unsealed box. Camera is wrapped up in a bubble wrap, accessories are sealed in plastic. Got three Canons, all have been bought in different stores, same kind of packaging. Hope, it helps.

I had something like this too. It most likely opened by someone who tried a few shots and decided to return the item after it. If there is nothing missing and new it should be ok. If you still like the camera. But it is annoying to receive something like this. Today, I got two books, one open and one sealed:(.

Same...bought a Canon camera. The box was unsealed but manual etc were in plastic wrap. Camera was in a thick white sheet.

Mine came like that well. I believe everything was there however and I imagine I can trust Amazon.

It does not come sealed. Everything is new, this is just how Canon does it. Go to Best Buy to check it out - they have lots of Canon boxes and none are sealed. Comes with camera, battery, cords to transfer pics. VERY small memory card (order a transcend 8gb with a reader - good deal). Includes manuals and AV cord.

It is a marketing thing. They all show the internals to the disk. When you get a new one it is sealed.

Dear Brian: yes, this is VERY normal; in fact, i cannot think of a single camera that comes with a memory card in it's original box (just the camera itself), other than ones in which come in some kind of a 'package' deal, such as the ones you might see on amazon, that include the camera, and several other items you may want, such as a bag, an sd card, an extra battery, etc. most cameras you buy today do not generally include an sd card; probably because everyone has such vastly different 'needs', as far as an sd card is concerned, so rather than supply a 'basic' sd card, they just let the customer/consumer pick up one of their own. hope this helps! love, joyce

Yes the box is sealed. Yes the battery in the camera is original, but the second is not.

The Camera and one battery were sealed - Sony box. The second battery was off brand but is working fine!

My packaging was a plastic bag and then the outer Amazon packaging. Most likely to lessen the weight of the item. But they are new and have worked just like the one I previously bought from Verizon.

I know its a little late but I just got one of these - refurbished. It had the camera, USB cable, AV cable, carrying strap, AC charger, and a little string for the lens cap which for some reason is friction fit (no latch)NO MANUAL! but I understand this is standard for the business. ( the manual probably costs almost as much as the camera lol)

yes - it was a nice looking box with all needed accessories, but sealed? can't remember ... Just loook at this picture: http://cdn.computeruniverse.net/media/images/300/90457989E46651A651DA41569D11208C.jpg

I think when I got mine it was sealed. It worked fine. It's an old drive and finding the driver for it wasn't easy. I don't know how old your Zips are but I was pretty disappointed. Half of the photos I had saved to the Zip Disc where no longer there. They were suppose to last for 25 to 30 years. That was surely a crock of you know what. Hopes that helps.

I got the camera shipped via USPS.The camera LCD screen did not have a protector and everything was loosely packed.But it does have everything in it.Have kept the battery to charge lets see how it goes.This is the first time i see such a packaging from amazon.

Mine came in an appropriate box and did not see anything strange about it. I don't totally understand the question. The camera works great. I use it constantly in my business. We have four of them and never have problems.

I received mine a few hours ago. The pretty much put the box shown in the gallery in a packaging box with little or no protection. I dropped my box when I was picking it up, but I don't think it affected anything. There are plastic things that absorb shock from the drive in the manufacturer's box.I'm not sure how I can explain it in a better way.http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61owr2hat9L._AA300_.jpg

Check to be sure the listing says New. If it's new & unopened you should receive it in it's original Nintendo packaging (factory sealed) with all the included accessories & manual. If it's new & unopened (factory sealed) it is Never Shrink-Wrapped. I know this to be a fact because I worked in the Nintendo (formerly Pokmon) store in NYC & all factory sealed boxes come with a special stickers on each end that when peeled open even gently it is obvious that it was unsealed to prevent tampering, etc. This is also true for all the other gaming consoles (XBox 360 XBox One, PS3 & PS4, Wii & Wii U, etc, even the old game systems & handhelds from years ago). All retail employees can tell if it was opened & will not take it back unless of course you are selling it back as used for way less even if it was just purchased 5mins prior. Good luck everyone.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but the camera comes in a sealed box, the ends of the box had a tape seal and I used a thin knife to cut the seal. The camera itself in the box was wrapped in a plastic bag as I remember, along with its accessories. I hope this helps.
