Thanks.

B&H and Adorama are probably the most-reputable camera stores on the Internet. Professional photographers (and amateurs, too!) buy from them all the time. I buy from both companies whenever I make my camera-related purchases.

Beach and Buydig are the same store and are reputable. I have bought from them a couple times.

I've had good experiences with B&H. Just resist the upsell on the overpriced packaged deals consisting of a bag, extra battery, etc.

I've bought from Beach several times - they are great but not as cheap as they used to be.

Abe's is OK but they are heavy on the upsell (to the point that they ask you to call to "confirm" the order in order to upsell.) I bought my latest camera from NewEgg. Amazon is, of course, also very reputable.

B&H and Adorama are big ones but I tend to avoid them just because I live in NYS so have to pay sales tax.

I'm an Adorama fan, but I would buy from either store. Stick with these two. They are the big boys in online camera.

I buy from both, along with Adorama pretty frequently. I also buy from Newegg as well.... They have some really good deals from time to time if you're looking for a body or common lens.

B&H hands-down. Adorama is a great back-up source.

I've made the majority of my purchases from B&H without any issues. I've also ordered a few items from Amazon, but I've never purchased from a 3rd party seller just what was offered by Amazon.
