I'm looking to buy a new camera and would love some recs for a reputable online store. I've read some horror stories about some so would love some good suggestions.

Thanks!

B&H (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/)

Not always the lowest price, but almost always competitive. Lightning fast shipping. Fair return policies. I've had nothing but positive experiences with them.

Also, this is the store I shop in locally. They don't have a huge online presence, but they do sell online and are a very reputable retailer: http://robertsimaging.com/shop.jsp

Calumet http://www.calumetphoto.com/
and Central Camera http://www.centralcamera.com/are two good ones

Central Camera is a Chicago institution. My Dad shopped there when he was in college, I still do .

Adorama, B&H, Amazon, Calumet... those are all the ones I've bought from. I pretty much buy exclusively from B&H though, unless for some odd reason I can get a good deal at the others (I often get good deals on CF cards at Calumet and good prices on lenses through Amazon).

Buydig and their sister site Beach Camera are very reputable. Basically if you see it cheaper than them, then there is a good chance the site is not legit. As always, check http://www.resellerratings.com/ before you buy online.

Thank goodness for resellerratings.com. Saved me from making a big mistake with a recent lens purchase! B&H, Beach, & Adorama always seem to work for me. Sometimes even Amazon.

I have uses B&H and Adorama. No complaints from either. I would buy from both again.

Agreed, I got my best deal from Beach Camera in NJ. They were flawless and excellent pricing.
