I've been buying from B&H Photo. One of the few you can trust on the 'net. I've spent about $5K there over the past few months and haven't had any problems. I have no problem recommending them. There is a link to their site at the top of every TPF page.

You should also check out JR.com, it's my favorite.

Hey,
great pic of the 360 Challenge Stradale. The badge in my avatar was on a Rosso Scuderia 360CS in downtown Indy during the USGP weekend. I love that stripe.

Hey,
great pic of the 360 Challenge Stradale. I actually rode in a 360CS that a buddy of mine owns at a track event. The badge in my avatar was on a Rosso Scuderia 360CS in downtown Indy during the USGP weekend. I love that stripe.

B & H Photo has been a long standing photographic supplier for the amateur and professional. If I see a price better than B & H, I'm usually suspicious. The only exception is if you can catch some of these sales that Dell has sometimes. Recently they had 25% off the 5D, and that's a chunk of change.

According to other internet DSLR buyers, "Beachcamera.com" is really good. Have any of you guys bought anything from the before?

B&H is the shizzle. If you see a lower price it almost certainly will also have/be:

-Out of stock.

-Gray market.

-Packed with a shipping charge which makes it higher in total.

B & H Photo is excellent.
Midwest Photo Supply in Columbus, Ohio is also excellent.

I've ordered and heard good things about these three: KEH.com BHphoto.com and Adorama.com. I've been to the retail store of both BHphoto (very impressive!) and Adorama (small but just as competitve).

BTW... I frequent this website when considering an online purchase... www.resellerratings.com
