But don't rule a company out because they're from NY either.

Basically, go to DPreview.com and see whose prices they list on their site. Those are the places you should buy from.

Edit:

Good camera stores:
B&H
Adorama
Beach Camera
BuyDig isn't bad

beach and buydig are the same place. and they're in jersey.

those first 2 are basically the only 2 camera stores in NYC that i'll trust. those gray market places on times square are awful too. just like canal street in NO.

Pretty sure BuyDig and Beach are not the same place. BuyDig's website says they're in Edison. I've been to Beach Camera's store and it's not in Edison, nor do they have anything in the store that indicates they're affiliated with BuyDig.

Who Are We?
Beach Camera and Electronics is a family-owned-and-operated company located in Green Brook and Edison New Jersey.

their websites are the same, the sell the same range of products, and their catalog numbers are all the same.

I'm not going to read every huge thread I come across. Mistakes happen, it was easy to assume this was a whine post, we've seen them before. My question still isn't answered though. Only a moron would buy from someplace without doing their homework on it, so why post a warning here unless you think CKent is ridiculously stupid?

I think you answered your own question ;D
