My wife and I are in the market for a new camera. Several years ago with the advent of digital photography the Cannon AE-1 film camera I own was put away. Since then we have owned several digital cameras that we have purchased from either Ebay or a big box store. I am looking on Amazon but would like to know if there are any dedicated camera/electronic web stores or national brick and mortar stores that you like and have bought from. To give an idea what kind of camera we are looking for, it would be a DSLR changeable lenses camera or a good point and shoot with a non removable lenses. We also like either Cannon or Nikon.

I second Yooper's recommendation of B&H Camera in NYC. The provide very good service, and they have people who can either talk to you on the phone or chat online, who actually know what they are talking about. If you think you can, YOU WILL!!!!! | |||

I used to only buy from B&H, but Adorama has been my go-to for the last 2 years. There are a half dozen "mid-major" retailers I like that are one step above a mom and pop who have invested in their online platform that I will frequent when I am looking for something. I still use amazon and Best Buy from time to time when sales are good as well. | |||

I'm another fan of B&H, have bought a lot of gear from them. If it's Canon you're thinking about, they have some pretty good deals on refurbished at the Canon website. Another possibility is the Canon based website Photography-on-the.net, I've been very happy buying there from established sellers. ________________________________ "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

Adorama and B&H Photo/Video. Stay away from 42nd Street Photo. You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

B&H, Adorama, and Abe’s of Maine. Usually in that order. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

B&H, Adorama, Amazon (if it's actually Amazon and not a 3rd party). Any place else and you rosk gray market or counterfeit. If you don't mind used, you can save quite a bit. For Canon, try www.photography-on-the.net. I've both bought and sold there.

My buying experiences with B&H have all been excellent. They are very helpful on the phone as well. New = B&H Used = KEH Silent | |||

B&H and Adorama are very good. My wife has also made purchases from Camera Land NY and been happy with her buying experience. ____________________________________________________________ Money may not buy happiness...but it will certainly buy a better brand of misery A man should acknowledge his losses just as gracefully as he celebrates his victories Remember, in politics it's not who you know...it's what you know about who you know | |||

Well I like B&H...  . And Amazon for it's Prime shipping.Other then that I shop a ~local camera shop in Nashville but sadly it just sold out and moved away. I had attended training and product seminars there. B&H have a stellar reputation and fair pricing. Even on laptops etc. B&H Photo Video is the largest non-chain photo and video equipment retailer in the United States. They are always near the top of my places to shop when shopping online.
