They have the BEST prices, the BEST service, if someone else is REALLY cheaper then B&H, they will match it, just not the scam artists.

Search on craigslist and ebay. Good deals tend to pop up pretty often if you keep your eyes open.

here is what is likely to happen once you order it. They take you money. then they call you and say, would you like the battery? ok thats another 75 bucks. Would you like the battery cover? ok thats another $50 bucks. Would like the etc etc....

by the time you get everything, you have paid way more than retail. and if you dont take everything, they dont ship. AND GOOD LUCK GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK.

So like its been stated, and i know you already decided this, buy from a good dealer.

The camera professionals LIFETIME RATING = .74 out of 10!!!!

B&H Photo lifetime rating = 9.45 out of 10

I know where I would shop... Especially if I actually wanted to GET the camera!

Just busting your chops, but seriously, do NOT spend your camera money at the camera professional rip off artists....

Yup, people need to understand that there are only a handful of shops that you should buy your camera gear from.
Off the top of my head:
adorama
b&h
buydig
beachcamera
roberts imaging
ritz

B&H Photo ALL THE WAY!!! Sometimes the cheapest price up front costs you the most in the long run! If I could tell you all the times B&H have bent over backwards for me and people I know...it would blow your mind!

B&H Photo.
Allen's Cameras

You will never save money buying from those scam artists, Junior described the scenario accurately. It has happened to thousands. Once they suck you in and get your credit card you will spend hours getting charges reversed and weeks will go by as you try to get any kind of camera equipment. You will never save money.


You will never save money!! Don't do it.

Gary

Did I mention that you will not save money with those scam artists?

All I can do is agree with

everybody else the thing I find a tad bit intresting about B&H photo is that they are a jewish owned and operated company they adhere to the faith and both the store and the website is down at those time you can look but you can't buy. while I have been frustrated buy them a small amount I am more facinated by there loyality to there faith. literly turning off there money maker. but there loyality to there faith also shows in there loyality to there customers. even if you do get a camera from some scam place good luck getting it serviced if there is a problem. :horse: B&H gets my vote online

Pretty funny how a chain like Circuit City gets such bad reviews. I have bought quite a few items from CC and never had any issues...
