Thanks all! Guess the concensus on B&H from the pros are good! Now to figure out a way to order this without hubby knowing...he he he! Also, been meaning to purchase at least a 2-year extended warranty. Is this advisable or is it just fluff?

I was a little scared after seeing the complaints against 86Streetphoto.com regarding offering the lowest price and then calling you to tell you that it's back-ordered, or that the battery was not included in the price, etc. etc.

Has anyone ordered a camera from Dell.com? I have had no problems (other than them using stupid DHL to deliver ) for my laptops, but was wondering if anyone had experience on camera purchases. Their price for the model I wanted was about $50 less than at Amazon.
B&H is perhaps the largest camera and electronic store in the US, maybe in the world. I am not kidding you. If you visit B&H in NYC, you enter the store through doors on one street, and can exit through the doors at the following street. B&H is owned by Jews, so no business is conducted on Saturdays, but what I like the most about this company is how reliable it is.

I never buy extended warranties, at least not from the store I purchase a product. However, an extended warranty from the company that makes the product could "sometimes" be a great deal.

I never buy extended warranties from the store, but always buy it from Nikon directly. Its a better warranty, and usually the same price or less.

I've used this company out of WI with no problems. Good service and competitive pricing. A good reference site too. I also have used B&H for years with no problems at all.

KEH Camera: Used Cameras, Digital Cameras, Film Cameras, Laptop Computers and More.
Hello warptman, I have dealt with KEH for more than 10 years now and was never disappointed. Even when I moved to Hawaii, their service was still above and beyond. Now granted, some of the sales/operators and I are on a first name basis and one knows my sales history just by my name. It's kind of cool. But, even if you're a first time buyer, you'll get the same treatment. They're a medium size co. in ATL (they are next door to the old Wolf camera main store) and they really take care of their customers. That's why I never changed my buying habits when it came to equipment. They even overnight a purchase to my hotel room in Calgary, ALB when I was in a pinch. I delayed my session for a day. But they came through! They are really patient if you have questions on their grade/scoring on their equipment. You can never go wrong with KEH!

I've bought multiple times from both B&H (my favorite) and Adorama and never had a problem.

I will only order from B&H. I have never had an issue with them. You might pay a little more than other online retailers, but let me tell you, it's worth it.
